Compact size
Quality interior and trim
Attractive styling

Narrow, cramped interior
Underpowered base engine
Lacks standard safety tech
Price rises quickly with options

Streamlined trim-level structure.More powerful engine is now optional.The 2019 Buick Encore is a bit more upscale than other subcompact crossovers thanks to its long list of features and the signature silence of Buick interiors.

Pros
Hushed cabin at highway speeds
Generous standard tech and safety features
Maneuverable size

Cons
Base engine delivers tepid performance
Small cargo area
