2016 Buick Regal, LaCrosse to Offer Apple CarPlay and Android Auto Integration.Swank for Less Bank: Entry-Level Luxury Sedans Ranked.The all-wheel-drive model gets a 23/30 stamp from the EPA. Final EPA fuel-economy figures are forthcoming, but we see no reason why the Sport Touring shouldn’t fall in the same neighborhood as its brethren, the front-drive versions of which are rated for 25 mpg in the city and 33 on the highway. With a welcome 15-hp bump over the base Encore-plus an additional 29 lb-ft of torque, for a total of 177-the Sport Touring’s acceleration could threaten the nine-second barrier in front-drive form.īuick also fits the Sport Touring with engine stop-start technology, and the new powerplant also features direct fuel injection in place of the base Encore’s port-injection setup. The Sport Touring, on the other hand, gets a 153-hp, 1.4-liter turbo four plucked from GM’s new Ecotec engine family and bolted to the same six-speed automatic transmission as other Encores. The standard turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine in Buick’s spudlet musters a measly 138 horsepower, and the quickest Encore we’ve tested hit 60 mph in 9.3 seconds.

Yet for 2016, Buick aims to expand the Encore’s dynamic envelope with a new Sport Touring model that packs a new-generation turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 11 percent more power.

That said, none of its accolades have to do with pavement-melting lateral grip or an ability to show Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcats its cute little taillights. Besides being just the friendliest four-wheeled potato-shaped thing, Buick’s tiny Encore has generated healthy sales numbers while also garnering an unexpectedly nice reception here at Car and Driver.
