BUICK ENCORE INSPIRATION

Some of our most memorable experiences are those we didn’t plan. It’s called “enjoying life as it comes.” Making the most of every moment. Going wherever your next impulse takes you is one of life’s great luxuries. And one of the many you’ll find in Encore. BUICK ENCORE INTRODUCTION

The family resemblance is quite striking.

Sure, it has Buick signature design cues like a waterfall grille, ice-blue-accented projector-beam headlamps and chrome portholes— yet that’s where the similarity ends. From sketch to sheet metal, Encore carves out its own blend of style and confidence in a decidedly efficient package. This is a new style of luxury designed to be ready to go on a moment’s notice and sized to fit almost anywhere. Enjoy. BUICK ENCORE technology

It’s amazing what you can do when all wheels collaborate.

Encore’s available All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system doesn’t ask you to push buttons. It constantly monitors traction, and whenever it detects slip, AWD is automatically activated. Power is delivered to the front or rear wheels with the best grip. This is the perfect way to put its efficient ECOTEC 1.4L turbocharged engine to work. To help maneuver city streets and winding country roads, you’ll also find Encore’s handling is beyond nimble. Variable-effort electronic power steering produces a 36.7-foot turning diameter so you can make quick, precise moves. Its 100.6-inch and broad 60.6-inch stance also provide a confident driving feel, while a solid structure enables a refined, quiet ride. BUICK ENCORE EXTERIOR DESIGN

And to help avoid traffic congestion, optional NavTraffic2 (with 3-month trial of SiriusXM) incorporates real-time traffic and road conditions into your NAV screen, directing you toward the most efficient route. Now, SiriusXM offers Travel Link3 to give you the latest fuel prices, weather and movie listings wherever you go. Encore also helps improve your view of the road.

Hear what quiet sounds like.

Encore’s QuietTuning technology reduces, blocks and absorbs noises—helping to keep the quiet in and the noise out. A laminated windshield, triple door seals, tight body panel tolerances and other acoustical innovations make it all possible. But we didn’t stop there. In the first use of Bose® Active Noise Cancellation in the Buick lineup, unwanted sounds fade into the background. It’s a technology also found in today’s noise-cancelling headphones. This way you can hear yourself think, chat and, of course, enjoy the available Bose premium seven-speaker audio system with sound-expanding amplification that fills Encore with musical enjoyment.

TURN encore INTO your mobile ENTERTAINMENT CENTER.

Encore allows you to personalize your listening options—music, news, sports and other features—just by saying the word. Your voice is all you need to control the Buick IntelliLink1 interactive audio system and even make hands-free calls. Using Bluetooth,®2 it connects your compatible smartphone to a high-resolution, 7-inch LCD screen. With the ease of advanced voice recognition (or steering-wheel-mounted controls), you have access to audio apps on your phone such as Pandora® internet radio or StitcherTM SmartRadio and SiriusXM Satellite Radio3 (with 3-month trial). IntelliLink also automatically stores your phone contacts for quick access. There’s even a USB port4 to connect your other media devices. You’re doing all of this while keeping your hands on the wheel and eyes squarely on the road.

Encore’s available Forward Collision Alert and Lane Departure Warning use sophisticated digital imaging technology to help you avoid trouble before it happens. Forward Collision Alert provides audible and visual cues if you’re quickly approaching another vehicle and it senses a collision may occur.

It has your back, too, with a Rearview Camera System to help you see objects while in reverse.

Another way to stay connected is with the myBuick app.6 It includes features like Find My Car to locate where you parked, schedule service and get roadside assistance if you ever need it. You can even search your digital Owner’s Manual to find useful information. it’s like having your own copilot.
