2016 Buick ENCORE LEATHER FWD

The 2016 Buick Encore Leather FWD was Buick's answer for buyers who wanted the convenience of a compact SUV without sacrificing comfort and refinement. This Leather trim adds genuine upgrades over the base model, including leather seating surfaces, heated front seats, and a more premium cabin feel that punches above its class. The turbocharged 1.4L engine delivers a nice balance of fuel efficiency and everyday drivability, making it perfectly suited for city commuting around London and longer hauls on the 401.

This Encore is an excellent fit for first-time SUV buyers, small families, or anyone looking to downsize from a larger vehicle without losing cargo flexibility or ride height. The compact footprint makes it easy to park and maneuver in tighter urban spaces, while the raised seating position gives drivers better visibility than a typical sedan.

Buick's attention to quietness and interior comfort was a hallmark of this generation of Encore, and the Leather trim brings that experience even further upscale with its added comfort features. Technology like the touchscreen infotainment system, Bluetooth connectivity, and OnStar with 4G LTE keep this nearly decade-old SUV feeling surprisingly current.

For Ontario buyers, a vehicle at this price point with this level of standard equipment represents strong value. With winters in mind, the FWD layout combined with the Encore's light curb weight and traction control system makes it a capable, confidence-inspiring choice for Canadian roads, all while keeping ownership costs approachable.

“This Encore is a great little SUV for someone who wants comfort and features without stretching their budget. It's got the leather, the tech, and the turbo power to make daily driving enjoyable. I'd happily put a family member in this one.”
