A team of spy photographers have managed to capture images of an updated Opel Mokka that indicate a facelift for the small crossover. Yes, we’ve seen the updated Mokka in the wild before, but none hinting at LED headlights. The updated front clip may align itself closer to the new Opel Corsa and Astra, styling-wise.
What does this mean for the Buick Encore? Well, since we haven’t seen any spy photos of guised-up models driving around Michigan sporting a refresh, it’s more of a mystery. However, LED daylamps are plenty appropriate for the Buick brand, and a new winged grille is due on every Buick model by 2018. So look out for those two features. Perhaps a 2017 Buick Encore will sport these changes, as the 2016 Buick Encore changes and updates have already made their way online.

It probably won't get it because either A gov't BS or B GM doesn't think the market needs it cost cutting what have you. (At least in Merica.)
LED daylamps are perfectly legal here. Unlike the new LED matrix headlights, pictured above.
It would be nice to see something to give it a bit of a refresh. Then again, like Tyler says cost cutting and I might add the de-contenting BS that GM is currently doing who's to say.
The problem is this in the lesser priced cars.
#1 you can put all this more expensive things in and you can either raise the price or take it out somewhere else. Trust me Kia short changes their customers in many other areas.
#2 Then the repair cost also go up with insurance cost and in lower value cars this impacts customers.
These things are getting cheaper but they are still pretty pricey. When it comes to building a car you have to make choices and invest in things that keep cars on the road for the long haul.
While you may see a bunch of ratty old Cavaliers on the road yet but they are on the road here in the rust belt. Yet Kia and Hyundai and even many Toyota's and Honda's are no where to be found. The reason is because where GM put the money in the car.
To decide content and price a car is more difficult than just about anything you can do to a car. What you may perceive as a cost savings often results in a better transmission, engine or suspension that never needs addressed in 300,000 miles like my co workers Grand Am.
Many Kia/Hyundai's meet their fait when a timing belt needs replaced at 130,000 miles and you need to change the water pump while you are there and it is going to cost half or more than the car is worth.
