4.8

Overall, the Buick Encore has won over many owners with its stylish design, comfortable and spacious interior, and impressive fuel efficiency.

Common themes include the vehicle's practicality as a smaller SUV and good value for money, but concerns about missing features and performance persist.

The Buick Encore's current nationwide average price is $11,815, and its lowest point over the past year was $11,815. Recently, prices have come down for the 2020, 2021, and 2022 models, making now a good time to shop recent model years.

Is the Buick Encore a good car?

Yes — the Buick Encore earns strong marks from owners across the lineup. The all-generations owner rating is 4.7/5 across every model year in the data.

Owners consistently praise the Encore for its comfortable interior, stylish design, and fuel efficiency. Many also highlight its smooth ride and practical size, along with the value it offers for everyday driving.

30.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.

Are Buick Encore models reliable?

Owners consistently praise the Encore for its comfortable ride, fuel efficiency, and upscale-feeling interior. Across the model years, reviews also point to a practical small-SUV layout and a strong sense of value.

  • Owners rate the Buick Encore between 4.33 and 5.0 out of 5 stars across all model years in the data.

For used buyers, long-term ownership risk is worth checking carefully on higher-mileage examples, especially by reviewing service history and a vehicle history report.

What should I look for when buying a used Buick Encore?

Across all model years, at 65.5% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

Model YearAccident-Free %
202385.3%
202279%
202174.6%
202069.2%
201967.6%
201865.7%
201761.9%
201660%
201560%
201458.6%

Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2022 models.

What Buick Encore do most buyers choose?

The Buick Encore years with the most listings are 2018, 2019, and 2017.

Model YearTotal ListingsGood + Great Deals %
20181,50330.9%
20191,35531.9%
20171,20328.2%
20161,10228.4%
20201,09132.9%
201588029%

These higher-volume years tend to draw more shopper attention because they give you more listings to compare and more chances to find a price that fits your budget. They also often sit in the middle of the model range, where value and availability can line up well.

What is the Buick Encore's resale value?

Model YearCurrent Avg. PriceYear-Over-Year Change
2020$13,537−11.49%
2021$15,031−10.98%
2019$12,702−10.49%
2014$8,314−7.01%
2017$10,723−6.76%
2018$11,498−5.42%
2015$9,033−5.37%
2016$10,067−3.8%
2022$18,896−3.24%

Most model years are down year over year, and several recent ones show double-digit declines. That creates a favorable setup for used buyers who want to shop after prices have already moved lower. The smaller changes at the top of the table suggest some newer and older examples have softened less than the rest.

The 2022, 2016, and 2015 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Should I buy a used Buick Encore now?

Buy now if:

  • Price trend: The 2022 model is at −3.24% versus a year ago, and the 2021 model is at −10.98%.
  • Sweet-spot year: The 2018 model has the most listings at a current average price of $11,498.

If you're buying used today, the 2018 model year offers the best mix of value and availability.
