Subcompact SUVs offer the perfect balance between fuel efficiency, safety, and space. They're just as fuel-efficient as most cars, but they are easier to see out of and they offer additional cargo room. When most people hear the term "SUV," they picture a large family vehicle. This can be overwhelming to think about for many drivers who just want something small and simple. Even some regular compact SUVs are a little too large for some drivers for this reason. This is why a subcompact SUV such as the 2022 Buick Encore is ideal for drivers like you.
The 2022 Buick Encore is the perfect subcompact SUV. It offers those main perks you're looking for, like fuel efficiency and space, but it adds on a luxurious twist. It's also so small that it drives like a car, yet it offers the additional height benefits that come with SUV ownership. The best part about it all is that this model is affordable despite its luxury label. To top it all off, the new Encore comes with multiple safety options and performance features that will help keep you secure on the highway. We're excited to give you the ins and outs of the new 2022 Buick Encore in all its glory.
Starting at
What kind of performance specs should you expect from a subcompact SUV like the 2022 Buick Encore? The top-spec you want to look for is fuel economy. Then consider all-wheel drive capability and how the model handles poor road conditions. It's not easy to find all three of these performance aspects on a subcompact model, but the new Encore manages to balance them all.
First off, this model can get up to 24 MPG in the city and 32 MPG on the highway for a combined 27 MPG rating. Further, while some subcompact models are front-wheel drive only, the 2022 Encore comes with an Intelligent All-Wheel Drive option which is designed to handle wet roads, snow, ice, and gravel. Even better, drivers only lose about one mile per gallon of fuel economy when upgrading to the all-wheel drive version.
When road conditions get too unpredictable, GM's StabiliTrak feature kicks in to help drivers better maintain traction. StabiliTrak was first developed and used by GM in the 1990s and is now a staple feature on all their models. More than just a traction control feature, the Encore's StabiliTrak technology uses stability control to predict tire movement and correct slippage. When paired with the optional all-wheel drive system, this gives the Encore safe and predictable handling in all weather.
Now let's take a quick look at the 2022 Buick Encore's engine. This 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The turbocharged engine helps this model reach optimum fuel efficiency by allowing for a smaller displacement. Despite its great fuel economy ratings, the Encore still boasts 155 horsepower, accelerating quickly in traffic.
While a compact SUV's high stature alone makes it feel safer than the average sedan, driver-assist features and a high safety rating are also important. High-profile vehicles can be more prone to rollover accidents, so getting that 5-star rating is essential. The 2022 Buick Encore offers the perfect blend of driver-assist features and a perfect overall 5-star NHTSA Overall Safety Rating to match.
Like other new models, the Encore includes a standard rearview camera. Aside from that, the first driver-assist feature you can get on the Encore is Forward Collision Alert. Not only does this technology notify drivers when they're tailgating another vehicle, but it also alerts them when the vehicle ahead of them stops abruptly. The next feature is Lane Departure Warning. Unless you're using a turn signal, the Encore will send notifications when you begin drifting into another lane.
Rear and Front Park Assist are also present on the new Encore. These technologies use sensors and beepers to notify drivers when they're getting too close to another object. This is designed to help prevent fender benders and parking lot accidents. Similarly, Rear Cross Traffic Alert is present to notify drivers of vehicles in difficult-to-see locations such as parking lot aisles.
Side Blind Zone Alert works by showing drivers when a vehicle is coming up beside them, which is especially handy for interstate driving. Its purpose is to help prevent side-swiping accidents. Finally, the Encore includes a convenient safety feature called "Rainsense Wipers" that automatically triggers at the first raindrop.
When you want even more added protection, you can opt for an OnStar subscription. OnStar capability is built into the 2022 Buick Encore model. It includes features such as Roadside Assistance. When you get a flat tire or run out of gas, OnStar has you covered. Furthermore, the Emergency Crash Response feature will automatically notify emergency response teams, so you get help as quickly as possible. No matter what level of safety features you desire, the Encore offers the perfect safety suite customization options.
Subcompact SUVs are the smallest SUV options on the market. However, that doesn't mean they should offer minimal interior space. You want a model that can give you a reasonable amount of cargo and passenger space. It's also important to find an SUV that includes interior conveniences and design features. The good news is that the 2022 Buick Encore offers all this and more.
Drivers get to take advantage of 48.8 cubic feet of cargo room that can be divided several different ways. For maximum cargo space, simply fold down the second-row seats and take advantage of the rear hatch to load up furniture or other large items. However, the 60/40 split rear seats mean you don't have to choose between all cargo or all passengers - you can have anywhere from two to five seats in place, depending on your needs at the time.
The Encore includes standard cloth seating with leatherette trim, silver and black paneling, and LED interior lighting. Buick's QuietTuning technology makes the interior much quieter, soundproofing it so that you can enjoy the premium audio system or a conversation with your passengers. Standard keyless open and start further adds to this model's luxurious and convenient interior appeal. Lastly, this model's high seating setup makes it even easier to see the road ahead. It doesn't matter if you're more interested in cargo space, comfort, or convenience, because the 2022 Buick Encore offers all three.
Subcompact SUVs aren't high-tier vehicles. However, that doesn't mean that they can't come with impressive technology features. The 2022 Buick Encore is proof of this, thanks to its plentiful standard and available technologies.
This model includes a standard 7-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. These smartphone connectivity features allow the user to connect their device and use the vehicle touchscreen or voice-activated controls to stream music, display directions, and more. It's also possible to take advantage of a 4G LTE WiFi hotspot thanks to the Encore's standard infotainment system.
The 2022 Buick Encore comes with the myBuick mobile app, which includes standard features such as tire pressure monitoring and vehicle diagnostics. This feature also includes package upgrades, one of which offers remote access. Rather than needing to pay to add on an aftermarket remote start system, drivers can now use their myBuick app to start their vehicle. Get this and much more as part of the Buick Connect Access plan options, which also comes with a Buick Smart Driver option that can monitor driving and win you discounts on insurance.
