Brought in during the 2013 model year the Buick Encore is the auto manufacturer's subcompact crossover car.

This model sits alongside the other larger SUVs on offer by the company:

• Rendezvous
• Rainer
• Enclave

Underneath the car, you can find the chassis that is shared by many other small cars that are sold by sister brands such as Opel.

The Encore is an almost identical twin to the Chevrolet Trax with only slight cosmetic differences.

In terms of safety the car has scored "good" for most tests apart from "small overlap frontal" where it scored "acceptable" and the headlights which it scored "poor" surprisingly for a car manufactured by such a large company.

In 2020 the second generation hit the showrooms in China though in North America the first generation will continue to be sold there for now.

Engine options are designed for the Chinese market including low displacement turbo-charged offerings to combat the engine displacement import tax system the country uses.

Sales have climbed year-on-year and with the targeted penetration of the Chinese market, the sky's the limit for the American subcompact crossover SUV Encore.
