The 2014 Buick Encore is, obviously, going to sit a little higher off of the ground than a traditional sedan. This increase in size will have little noticeable change to drivers who are familiar with other full-size Buick sedans like the LaCrosse. In fact, the Buick Encore and the LaCrosse have very similar dimensions for passengers in the rear seats; however, because of the design of the Encore this has led to a rear cargo area that is 30 percent larger than the trunk of a LaCrosse. Drivers who may be new to the SUV world have little to be concerned about. The days of large and highly unstable SUVs are mostly gone thanks in part to increased education about the limits SUV handling as well as the improvements to electronic stability and traction controls.

In a nod to the signs of the times, the 2014 Buick Encore is also one of the most fuel-efficient models on the crossover SUV market today. That fuel-friendly stance starts with the 1.4-liter, inline four-cylinder engine under the hood of the 2014 Buick Encore. The new Buick Encore can be outfitted with either a front-wheel or all-wheel drive drivetrain. With front-wheel drive, Environmental Protection Agency fuel-economy scores for the new Encore are 25 miles per gallon in the city and 33 miles per gallon on the highway. All-wheel drive versions maybe a bit more compliant on slippery roads, but there is a small drop in average fuel-efficiency across the board.
