Auto loans: the 2025 Buick Encore
CarmaCars rents cars; this page helps you judge the 2025 Buick Encore 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. Buying the 2025 Buick Encore is a big decision; here is the information we have.
A buyer's checks
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
Under the hood
Its 1.2L 3-cylinder turbo drives through an automatic (CVT). The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Its combined rating is 7.8 L/100 km, which means roughly 23 litres for 300 km. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $36.27 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,250 a year for 15,000 miles.
Size and space
The higher seat of a compact SUV gives a good view of the road in traffic.
Who it is for
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
A longer test drive
Rent first, buy later: a week with the Encore answers the big questions. A week with the Encore answers more than any brochure. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
The cost of driving it
The EPA estimates US$2,250 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.09 in fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Choosing the right one
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
Talk to a person
Send a request to rent the model you are thinking of buying.
Rent it for a week before you buy
