  • Reliability (4)
    4 out of 5 stars
    The 2017 Buick Encore generally has a good reputation for reliability. Owners often report few major issues, and the powertrain is well-proven. Regular maintenance is key to its longevity, and parts are readily available.
  • Maintenance (4)
    4 out of 5 stars
    Maintenance costs for the 2017 Encore Preferred are typically average for the subcompact SUV segment. Routine service is straightforward, and parts are not excessively expensive. Its commonality with other GM vehicles helps keep service accessible.
  • Technology (3)
    3 out of 5 stars
    The technology in the 2017 Encore Preferred is functional but not cutting-edge. It includes Buick's IntelliLink infotainment system with an 8-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto, which are good features. However, the interface can sometimes be a bit slow to respond, and advanced driver-assist features are limited.
  • Comfort (4)
    4 out of 5 stars
    Comfort is a strong suit for the Encore, especially in the Preferred trim. The seats are supportive and well-cushioned, and the cabin is surprisingly quiet for its class, contributing to a pleasant driving experience on most roads. Rear passenger space is a bit tight for adults on longer trips.
  • Dynamics (3)
    3 out of 5 stars
    The 2017 Buick Encore Preferred offers adequate dynamics for city driving, with light steering and a compact size making it easy to maneuver. However, it can feel underpowered on highways, and the ride quality, while generally smooth, can be a bit floaty over larger bumps.

2017 Buick Encore

The 2017 Buick Encore is a premium subcompact SUV that aims to offer a refined and comfortable driving experience in a compact package. It positions itself as a stylish and well-equipped option for those seeking a versatile urban crossover with a touch of luxury.

Highlights

  • Engine Options: The Encore offered two distinct engine choices for 2017:
    • Standard 1.4L Turbocharged Four-Cylinder Engine: This engine provided a good balance of power and fuel efficiency for everyday driving.
    • Optional 1.4L Turbocharged Four-Cylinder Engine with Stop/Start Technology: This uprated version offered slightly more horsepower and torque, along with the added benefit of a start/stop system to further enhance fuel economy in city driving. Both engines were paired with a smooth-shifting six-speed automatic transmission.
  • Safety Features: The 2017 Encore came equipped with a suite of available and standard safety technologies designed to assist drivers and protect occupants:
    • Standard Airbags: A comprehensive airbag system, including front, side-impact, and curtain airbags, provided crucial occupant protection.
    • Available Rear Vision Camera: This feature aided drivers when backing up, displaying a view of the area behind the vehicle to help avoid obstacles.
    • Available Side Blind Zone Alert: This system used radar to detect vehicles in the driver's blind spots and provided a visual warning on the side mirrors.
    • Available Rear Cross-Traffic Alert: When in reverse, this system warned the driver of approaching vehicles from either side, particularly useful in parking lots.
    • Available Forward Collision Alert: This system monitored the distance to the vehicle ahead and alerted the driver if a potential frontal collision was imminent.
    • Available Lane Departure Warning: This feature provided an audible and visual alert if the vehicle began to drift out of its lane without the turn signal being activated.
  • Trim Summary: The 2017 Buick Encore was available in several well-defined trims, each building upon the previous with increasing levels of features and amenities:
    • Encore (Base): Offered essential comfort and convenience features, including power windows and locks, a rearview camera, and a touchscreen infotainment system.
    • Sport Touring: Added styling cues like unique wheels and a rear spoiler, along with some upgraded interior features.
    • Leather: As the name suggests, this trim introduced luxurious leather-appointed seating, heated front seats, and enhanced interior trim.
    • Premium: The top-tier trim typically included all the features of the Leather trim, plus advanced safety technologies, a premium audio system, and potentially a sunroof.
  • Other Notable Aspects:
    • Quiet Cabin: Buick is known for its focus on cabin quietude, and the Encore generally delivered a hushed interior environment, making for a more relaxing drive.
    • Premium Interior Touches: Even in lower trims, the Encore often featured a more upscale interior design and material selection compared to many competitors in its segment.
    • Maneuverability: Its compact size and tight turning radius made the Encore exceptionally easy to maneuver and park in urban environments.

What to Expect

The typical ownership experience of a 2017 Buick Encore is generally one of comfortable and refined commuting. Owners can expect a smooth ride quality that effectively absorbs road imperfections, contributing to a pleasant daily drive. The cabin is generally well-insulated from road and wind noise, reinforcing the premium feel.

Maintenance: Routine maintenance for the Encore is generally in line with other vehicles in its class. This includes regular oil changes, filter replacements, tire rotations, and brake inspections. Finding qualified service centers should be straightforward, with many dealerships and independent mechanics capable of servicing Buick vehicles. Parts availability is typically good.

Insurance: Insurance costs for the 2017 Buick Encore will vary depending on individual factors such as driver history, location, coverage levels, and the specific trim chosen. However, as a subcompact SUV with a focus on safety features, it generally falls within a moderate insurance cost bracket compared to larger or sportier vehicles. It's always recommended to get personalized quotes from multiple insurance providers.

Potential Considerations

  • Rear Seat and Cargo Space: As a subcompact SUV, the Encore's rear-seat legroom and overall cargo capacity are not its strong suits. While adequate for occasional use and smaller passengers, it may feel cramped for adults on longer journeys or when carrying significant amounts of luggage.
  • Engine Power (Base Model): While the base 1.4L turbocharged engine is competent for city driving, some drivers might find its acceleration and passing power to be a bit leisurely, especially when fully loaded or on highways with inclines. The optional engine offers a noticeable improvement.
  • Infotainment System Responsiveness: While the IntelliLink infotainment system was a step up for Buick, some users have reported that its responsiveness and graphics can sometimes feel a step behind more modern systems.
  • Limited Off-Road Capability: Like most vehicles in its class, the Encore is designed for on-road use. While it may offer all-wheel drive for enhanced traction in slippery conditions, it is not intended for serious off-roading.

Overall Summary

The 2017 Buick Encore is a compelling choice for buyers seeking a small SUV that prioritizes comfort, refinement, and a premium feel. Its quiet cabin, stylish exterior, and available upscale interior amenities set it apart from many competitors. While its compact dimensions limit practicality for those needing significant passenger or cargo space, it excels as a well-equipped and comfortable urban commuter. The Encore offers a sophisticated alternative for those who want a touch of luxury in their everyday driving without the larger footprint or cost of a more substantial SUV.
