2013 Buick Encore Reviews, Pricing & Specs




















































































































































What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2013 Buick Encore generally appreciate its comfort, design, and practicality. Many drivers love the high seating position, easy maneuverability, and good fuel economy. However, some feel the vehicle lacks power and that the small back window can hinder visibility."
The car was in good shape from looks and seemed to run okay, but has the check engine light on. The sales rep would not hook it up to the code reader unless I confirmed I wanted to buy it. I would not buy a car for my 16 year old with a check engine light on without knowing what or how much would need to be spent to fix it. It could have been something simple, but could have been something expensive too.
October 30, 2025I like the look and the reported good handling and gas mileage. Although, consumers have reported that the back window is rather small for viewing purposes.
May 26, 2023I'm liking my little SUV very much. I can zip in and outta traffic and see the road very well with the seats sitting up high. Love the back up camera. It's very comfortable to sit in and drive. All the controls are very well placed and convenient for me. I have some arthritis and many SUV's were very uncomfortable even on a test drive. I folded down the back seats and was able to get mom's rolling walker and regular walker in the back with room left over. And it's very easy for my mom to get in and out of with just the 6 inch clearance. The gas mileage in town is 22 mpg at this point but I did get the AWD so that's about what's expected. The infotainment system has been very easy to navigate and the on star system set up in a couple of minutes before I left the dealership with it. I moves very smoothly and is just plain fun to drive. I'm very happy to have the AWD drive for the ice an snow we get. And it's on demand so when I need it it's there and I don't have to do anything. I look forward to driving it for many years.....
