This article looks at the announcement of the new Buick Encore! The new Encore will be released in early 2013 and Buick is really excited about this new vehicle!
Buick has now announced the release of their all new 2013 Buick Encore! The new 2013 Encore is a small luxury crossover, but don’t let its size fool you! This car really packs a punch! The vehicle is designed with luxury in mind, with interior acoustic refinement and a myriad of luxury amenities. The new vehicle will be on display at the Detroit Auto Show and companies will start selling the vehicle in early 2013.
“Buick Encore is a great-looking, smart choice for those who want luxury crossover amenities in a more maneuverable and agile vehicle,” said Tony DiSalle, U.S. vice president of Buick Marketing. “It represents a luxury alternative for a new audience of Buick customers, and delivers features and flexibility not typically found in vehicles of its size today.”
Buick has been increasing in popularity over the years. Most recently, Buick gained two consecutive years of higher sales. Buick hopes that the new model will round out their Buick lineup by sitting alongside the Verano. The Verano is the make’s third all-new sedan in three years and the new Enclave will provide a great new choice for Buick customers. The Enclave line was started almost five years ago and already it has gained so much popularity that it is ready for yet another remodel.
The new crossover will seat five and will hold almost fifty cubic feet of storage space in the rear, making this an excellent family vehicle. The luxury amenities also help out mom and dad, by keeping kids occupied in the back seat while parents drive. The new Encore features a higher driving position for confident driving and all-wheel-drive capability. Compared to many of Buick’s regular competitors the cargo space for this new Encore definitely wins!
The Encore will also feature a standard of ten airbags. The Encore also utilizes the power of the great new Ecotec engine that has become very popular over the last year. The vehicle will come equipped with IntelliLink capability. IntelliLink is Buick’s Bluetooth or USB powered service that allows the driver to connect their smartphone to a vehicle’s LCD display radio. QuietTuning will also come standard on the Encore, a great technology that Buicks are known for which utilizes noise cancellation technology to produce the best sound experience possible for customers.
And the new Encore isn’t just about amenities, although those were definitely Buick’s priority in the design of the vehicle. Even though the car focuses a lot on the excellent features, the designers made sure that the new vehicle was going to live up to the Buick name in how elegant it looks!
The Encore features sweeping character lines, something the Buick line has come to be well known for. The new Encore can easily be identified as a contemporary Buick vehicle by the character lines as well as the other gorgeous accents like the waterfall grille, chrome accents and surrounds, portholes on the hood and painted lower panels.
“The Encore brings Buick’s timeless, sculptural design to the crossover segment in a way that blends elegance, efficiency and utility,” said David Lyon, executive director of design. “There’s confidence in its athletic stance and elemental beauty in its rich details.”
The Encore designers really wanted to highlight the elegance of the vehicle by putting in blue accented headlights and detailed tail lights. The vehicle also comes standard with five-spoke painted aluminum wheels and they make seven-spoke chrome wheels available.
The instrument panel on the new vehicle wraps naturally into the door panels for a very complete and whole look. There is the large seven inch IntelliLink display screen at the center of the instrument panel as well as displays for the Sirius XM radio that comes equipped standard on many of GM’s vehicles. The vehicle designers focused on a mix of dark and light colors for the color scheme in order to give the cabin a distinguished look. To enhance that distinguished look designers also placed in ambient ice blue lighting in the cabin, similar to the blue accents in the headlights. The seats are made of a high density foam in order to give the driver and their passengers an experience of premium vehicle comfort.Buick is really excited about the release of this new vehicle and expects it to take off with a bang!
