The 2022 Buick Encore: before you buy
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. Here is the 2022 Buick Encore for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
Before you sign for the Encore
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
Engine and fuel
The 1.2L 3-cylinder turbo with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. 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. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $120.90. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,250 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who the Encore suits
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Space and size
An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.
Drive it on your own roads
If the Encore is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Rent the Encore for a week and see how it fits your life.
Which one to look for
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Within the 2022 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
The cost of driving it
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. 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.
