Auto loans: the 2022 Buick Encore
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2022 Buick Encore; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Thinking about the 2022 Buick Encore? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
Before you sign for the Encore
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
The figures, translated
The powertrain to know here is the 1.2L 3-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
It is rated 7.8 L/100 km combined: about 23 litres every 300 km. A 300 km weekend costs about $36.27 in energy at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,250 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Inside and out
Being a compact SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.
Who it is for
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
Rent it for a week first
Try the Encore on your commute, then decide. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Encore answers the big questions. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
Money matters
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.09 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,250 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $120.90 at our price setting.
Narrowing it down
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Within the 2022 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
One more step
Tell us the model and the dates, and we reply with an offer.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2022 Buick Encore from us first.
