  • Reliability (4)
    4 out of 5 stars
    Buick generally has a good reputation for reliability, and the 2019 Encore Essence is no exception. Owners report few major issues, contributing to lower stress of ownership.
  • Maintenance (3)
    3 out of 5 stars
    Maintenance costs are about average for the segment. Parts are readily available, and most service can be performed by any qualified mechanic. Fuel economy is decent but not class-leading.
  • Technology (4)
    4 out of 5 stars
    The infotainment system is user-friendly, featuring an intuitive touchscreen and standard Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. Available safety features are a plus, though some advanced ones are only on higher trims.
  • Comfort (4)
    4 out of 5 stars
    Comfort is a strong suit, with a quiet cabin and generally smooth ride quality for its class. Seats are supportive, making it suitable for longer commutes, though rear legroom is somewhat limited.
  • Dynamics (3)
    3 out of 5 stars
    The 2019 Buick Encore Essence offers adequate city driving dynamics but can feel underpowered and less engaging on highways. Steering is light, which is good for parking, but lacks feedback at higher speeds.

2019 Buick Encore: A Detailed Overview

The 2019 Buick Encore is a subcompact luxury crossover SUV that aims to blend upscale refinement with compact maneuverability. It offers a comfortable and quiet cabin, a host of available technology features, and a premium experience in a smaller package.

Highlights

  • Engine & Performance:

    • Standard Engine: A 1.4L turbocharged inline-4 engine producing 138 horsepower and 148 lb-ft of torque. This engine is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. It provides adequate power for city driving and casual highway cruising, prioritizing fuel efficiency.
    • Optional Engine (for Sport Touring, Essence): A more potent version of the 1.4L turbocharged inline-4, generating 153 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque. This engine offers a noticeable increase in acceleration and responsiveness, making for a more engaging driving experience.
    • Drivetrain: Front-wheel drive is standard, with all-wheel drive available on all trims for enhanced traction in various weather conditions.
    • Ride & Handling: The Encore is engineered for a smooth and comfortable ride, absorbing road imperfections well. Its smaller size and lighter weight contribute to nimble handling, making it easy to navigate tight urban spaces.

  • Safety Features:

    • Standard Safety: Includes a rearview camera for easier backing up and parking.
    • Available Driver Assistance Technologies: Buick offers a suite of advanced safety features that enhance awareness and help prevent accidents. These include:
      • Forward Collision Alert: Uses cameras to detect potential frontal collisions and alerts the driver.
      • Lane Departure Warning: Warns the driver if the vehicle drifts out of its lane without signaling.
      • Side Blind Zone Alert: Monitors the blind spots on either side of the vehicle and alerts the driver if another vehicle is detected.
      • Rear Cross-Traffic Alert: Detects approaching traffic from the sides when the vehicle is in reverse, particularly useful when backing out of parking spots.
      • Rear Park Assist: Provides audible alerts as the vehicle gets closer to obstacles when parking.

  • Trim Summary:

    • 1SV: The base trim, offering essential features and a comfortable ride.
    • Preferred: Adds more comfort and convenience features over the 1SV, often including upgraded cloth/leatherette seating.
    • Sport Touring: Builds upon the Preferred trim, typically featuring the more powerful 153-hp engine, unique styling elements, and sometimes a sport-tuned suspension.
    • Essence: The top-tier trim, providing the most luxurious experience with features like leather-appointed seating, heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, and advanced infotainment options.

  • Other Notable Aspects:

    • Quiet Cabin: Buick is known for its emphasis on quiet interiors, and the Encore is no exception. Acoustic glass and sound-deadening materials help to minimize road and wind noise, creating a serene environment.
    • Upscale Interior: Even in lower trims, the Encore's interior often feels more premium than its competitors, with well-chosen materials and a sophisticated design.
    • Buick Infotainment System: Features a user-friendly touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, allowing for seamless smartphone integration.
    • Compact Footprint: Its small size makes it incredibly easy to maneuver and park in crowded city environments.

What to Expect

The 2019 Buick Encore generally offers a straightforward ownership experience focused on comfort and ease of use.

  • Typical Ownership Experience: Owners can expect a smooth and quiet ride, making daily commutes and longer journeys relatively relaxed. The Encore is easy to drive and park, making it a practical choice for urban dwellers. The interior quality generally holds up well, contributing to a pleasant user experience.
  • Maintenance: Routine maintenance such as oil changes, tire rotations, and fluid checks will be typical for this class of vehicle. Buick's reliability has been generally average, so following the recommended maintenance schedule is important for longevity. Parts and service are readily available through Buick dealerships.
  • Insurance: Insurance costs for a 2019 Buick Encore are generally in line with other subcompact luxury SUVs. Factors influencing premiums include your driving record, location, chosen trim level, and insurance provider. Safety features like blind-spot monitoring and forward collision warning may offer slight discounts with some insurers.

Potential Considerations

While the 2019 Buick Encore has many strengths, there are a few points buyers should be aware of:

  • Limited Rear Seat Space: As a subcompact SUV, the rear seating area can feel cramped, especially for adults on longer trips. The sloping roofline also impacts rear headroom.
  • Cargo Capacity: The cargo space behind the rear seats is modest. While it's sufficient for groceries and smaller items, it may not be ideal for those who frequently haul larger objects or require extensive luggage capacity. Folding down the rear seats significantly expands cargo volume, but it's still not class-leading.
  • Base Engine Performance: While adequate for most situations, the standard 1.4L engine can feel underpowered when merging onto highways or carrying a full load of passengers. Opting for the Sport Touring or Essence trims with the more powerful engine is recommended for those who prioritize a more spirited performance.
  • Some Interior Materials: While generally good, some lower-trim models might feature more hard plastics in certain areas, which might detract from the intended luxury feel for some buyers.

Overall Summary

The 2019 Buick Encore stands out as a refined and comfortable subcompact luxury crossover. Its quiet cabin, upscale interior design, and available advanced safety features make it an attractive option for those seeking a premium driving experience in a compact package. While its rear-seat and cargo space are limited, and the base engine could be more robust, the Encore excels at providing a smooth, quiet, and easy-to-drive urban cruiser that punches above its weight class in terms of perceived luxury. It's a strong contender for buyers prioritizing comfort and quietness over maximum utility.
