Buick is giving the recent-selling Encore crossover a facelift in time for the 2017 version yr. The Botoxed tender-roader will make its public debut on the big apple car display that’s kicking off the next day.
If the 2017 Encore seems acquainted, that’s as it bears more than a passing resemblance to the 2016 Opel Mokka X that become brought earlier this month at the Geneva vehicle show. That’s not a terrible element, because the update brings sharper-searching headlights, a bold, protect-formed grille with a wing-like insert, and a hood with 3 ripples. Round returned, the updates are extra minor and in large part limited to new-appearance LED hind lights and a redesigned bumper.
The cabin receives a extra streamlined dashboard and a revised tool cluster that now includes a configurable screen. The handfuls of buttons previously found at the center stack were despatched again to the elements bin and changed by means of an eight-inch touch display screen that runs the latest technology of Buick’s IntelliLink infotainment device.
Buick’s technical details are vague at high-quality. All we are able to inform you at this factor is that the entry-stage engine is a turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder that’s bolted to a six-pace automatic transmission. Maximum trim levels can be upgraded with an immediate-injected 1.Four-liter faster 4 that brings extra power, extra torque, and a standard begin/stop gadget that keeps gasoline financial system in check. In different words, it doesn’t sound like Buick has made any essential mechanical adjustments.
The 2017 Buick Encore is scheduled to land in showrooms in the fall. While it goes on sale, it'll be offered in 5 trim stages known as base, sport journeying, convenience, leather, and top class, respectively. Pricing facts might be posted in the direction of the crossover’s market launch.
