2020 Buick Encore Spy Shots and Redesign Details

A pocket-sized SUV from 2020 Buick Encore is getting ready to receive a complete redesign. No, we are not wrong; the carmaker is preparing the all-new model just a year after the updated version. We have actual proof in for of spy shots. The tiny high-riding vehicle has been spotted testing in Detroit a few days ago, but this doesn’t mean that we will see it soon. Instead, the redesigned model will be introduced next year as the 2020 Buick Encore.

It’s totally wrapped in heavy camouflage, so it’s pretty hard to conclude what’s happening beneath. Still, some of the details are hard to hide, so we know that the next-generation Encore is getting a few additional inches in length and width even now. The additional space will undoubtedly have a positive influence on the crossover’s interior space. The inside will also host a number of styling changes. Buick won’t miss the chance to fix the current shortcomings, so you can expect a cleaner dashboard design and larger infotainment display, as well as an armrest for both of the front passengers. Outside, the small SUV appears to feature a less streamlined hood and a bit larger shoulders. It will probably add a new grille and headlight, though the details will probably be borrowed from the all-new Regal.

Under the hood, the 2020 Buick Encore will definitely keep the existing 1.4-liter turbo engine. Still, we think that the base option with 143 horsepower is not going to stay. Instead, Buick will make today’s 153-hp option standard for the next-gen Encore. The carmaker will also add a new optional mill. They have to do that because they are not competitive with the biggest rivals that mostly offer 200+ hp engines. The carmaker will probably add a 260-hp 2.0-liter turbo, though this is not confirmed by the carmaker. The SUV will also use a nine-speed automatic transmission for both engines. Some rumors claim that we might see the 2020 Buick Encore Hybrid as well. The possibility sounds great, but we don’t have anything official at the moment, so let’s wait for some additional info about the crossover. Read More
