Small-Premium Just Got A Little Bigger | 2020 Buick Encore GX

by

For those who wanted the Buick Encore but found it too small, there’s now a solution for you. The Encore GX may have a confusing name but it’s the slightly larger Korean-made sibling of the smaller Encore. Got all that? Good. This crossover offers more space and tech; however, it’s priced similarly to compact SUVs like the Toyota RAV4, which presents quite a dilemma. Should you … [Read more...] about Small-Premium Just Got A Little Bigger | 2020 Buick Encore GX

2018 / 2019 Buick Regal GS Sportback Review

by

For a small jump in MSRP you … [Read more...] about 2017 Buick Encore Review

2016 Buick Encore Review

by

The smallest Buick isn't a sedan, it's the Encore crossover. Despite being one of the older entries in the sub-compact crossover segment, the Buick is one of my favorites. That may sound odd since I didn't much care for the Chevy Trax, but the Encore hits "value" right on the head while the Trax frankly misses it. With a substantial refresh already announced for 2017, there … [Read more...] about 2016 Buick Encore Review
