2025 Buick Enclave Interior, Release Date, Configurations
2025 Buick Enclave Interior, Release Date, Configurations – The 2025 Encore is one of the smallest crossovers available, but it boasts the luxurious look and curved sheetmetal that define Buick’s larger SUVs. Even with the back seat folded, the Encore’s cabin can accommodate four persons and a reasonable quantity of cargo, despite its small size. While the ordinary Encore reviewed here has a similar beginning price to the Kia Seltos and the Honda HR-V, the identically titled Encore GX is a more modern Buick, but its higher price puts it into contention with the BMW X1 and the Lexus NX SUVs offer more value.
2025 Buick Encore Redesign and Update Plan
Exterior and Interior
Within the Encore’s compact body lies an interior that is very nearly premium save for a few missteps. There are some hard plastics in the door panels and lower center console, and the glossy black trim on the center stack of our test vehicle didn’t match the glossy gray panels on the doors. However, soft-touch sections on the armrests and dash pad provide a more upscale atmosphere; the flush-mounted infotainment touchscreen and jewel-colored background accents help, too.
The front-seat layout is quite good, with controls that are straightforward and redundant knobs on the dash for climate controls. We appreciated the high seating and comfortable driving position, but larger drivers may find the seat bottom too narrow. The Encore’s talents as a utility vehicle start and end with a good performance in our carry-on test: It held 20 of our suitcases with the rear seats folded. Otherwise, the little Buick’s interior measurements, difficult-to-fold rear seat, and class-average storage space for small items do little to impress.
2025 Buick Encore Specs
A 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system called IntelliLink that features Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a 4G LTE broadband connection with onboard Wi-Fi is among the many technological niceties that come standard with the Encore. A seven-speaker Bose premium audio configuration is also offered. 2025 Buick Enclave Interior
Engine and Performance
Although the 155 horsepower of the 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder Encore will be more than enough, customers shouldn’t expect a lot of excitement. The occupants’ high position atop a short wheelbase makes the Encore seem more top-heavy than competitors with lower sets, such as the Mazda CX-30. This causes the Encore to lean more strongly during corners. The steering is well-weighted and will satisfy customers searching for a tiny crossover that puts comfort first, even though it’s not particularly thrilling. The Encore’s suspension provides excellent comfort by cushioning harsh blows and absorbing bumps.
2025 Buick Encore Fuel Economy
Though we haven’t tested the Encore’s fuel efficiency in real-world conditions, its EPA ratings are lower than those of competitors like as the Nissan Kicks, Hyundai Kona, and Mazda CX-30. The EPA estimates that the front-drive Renaissance should get 25 kilometers per hour in the city and 30 mpg on the highway, whereas the all-wheel-drive Encore should score 24 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the interstate. 2025 Buick Enclave Interior
2025 Buick Encore Safety Features
Mixed reviews from the two U.S. crash-test agencies and a dearth of driver-assistance tech make the Encore a disappointing choice for buyers focused on safety. To make matters worse, the Encore’s back seats may not be sufficient for small families to comfortably fit children in safety seats. Key safety features include:
- Available forward-collision warning
- Available blind-spot monitoring
- Available lane-departure warning. 2025 Buick Enclave Interior
