The All New Buick Encore Debut!


They say that patience is a virtue, but when I know that something new is coming, my patience goes out the window! That’s just the way I am – like a kid waiting for his birthday. Well, the waiting is over…the new 2013 Buick Encore is here!! We just took delivery of the first one at our store. So, let me tell you a little about it…..

 

 

Buick knew that there was the need for a crossover SUV smaller than the impressive Enclave. Chevrolet has the Equinox, and GMC the Terrain as a compliment to the Traverse and Acadia. The Encore is considered to be a compact crossover and competes with the Nissan Juke, and Mini Cooper’s Countryman. That’s where the comparison ends.

 

The Encore delivers on all of Buick’s traditional strengths – Comfort, Luxury, and superior ride. The front cabin has plenty of room with wide seats that are comfortable even on longer rides, and they sit high enough so that there’s plenty of visibility above and around traffic. All of the materials speak to luxury with “soft-touch” accents; wood tone trim, and metallic accents.

 

What’s really impressive is the quality of the ride, which has come to be expected in a Buick. Even with its smaller size, the Buick Encore absorbs road imperfections with ease, and remains firmly seated on the road, all the while remaining extraordinarily quiet due to superior sound dampening.  
 

While remaining true to Buicks reputation for quality, the Encore is also extremely affordable. The base model starts at $24,200, and works up from there depending on model and selected options. What’s nice are some of the standard features that might be add-ons with some of the competition. How about the IntelliLink system which I’ve mentioned in previous posts? Then there’s GM’s OnStar system for safety; Bluetooth connectivity; USB/iPod interface; rearview camera, and a six speaker audio system.

 

All in all, it’s been worth the wait, and you need to come and take a look at this beautiful addition to the Buick lineup. Why not call today to schedule a test drive; look at our inventory of fine vehicles, and see what Edenton Motors has to offer – you won’t be disappointed!
