Buick discount offers for the Encore subcompact SUV have been on a steady rise, starting with the 20-percent discount in October before growing to 22 percent off in November. And now, to spread more of that holiday cheer around, a new Buick discount drops the price of select 2019 Encore models by a lofty 25 percent.
Shoppers should note that, similar to previous offers, this Buick discount remains exclusive to non-GM owners. In that regard, we believe that this incentive is an effort to maintain sales volume in an ultra-competitive segment.
The Incentive
Nationwide Buick discount offers on the 2019 Encore during the month of December 2019 are as follows:
- Retail offer: 25 percent off MSRP for 2019 Encore Preferred FWD models
- This Buick discount offer will run thru January 2nd, 2020
- Finance offer: 0-percent APR for 72 months
- Excludes base 1SV models
- Buyer must borrow from GM Financial
- Some markets are including a cashback incentive with the finance offer
The offer represents the largest Buick discount offer for the Encore so far in 2019 on a percentage basis, with the second-biggest rebate being 22 percent off in November. That deal was also restricted to those who didn’t own a GM product.
To reiterate, the deal in December is also only applicable to those who currently do not own a GM product (non-GM, 2005 and newer), and are financing the purchase through GM Financial. For reference, here are the 2019 Buick Encore starting MSRPs by trim level, which include the $995 destination freight charge:
- Encore (1SV) – $24,195
- Preferred (1SB) – $25,595
- Sport Touring (1SH) – $26,795
- Essence (1SL) – $30,295
In the example offer provided, the Buick discount reduces the price of a 2019 Encore Preferred FWD (front-wheel-drive) model with an MSRP of $26,910 using the following incentive:
- $1,728 price reduction below MSRP + $5,000 purchase allowance = total rebate of $6,728
- Discounted price: $20,182
Disclaimers
- Must take delivery by January 2nd, 2020.
- See dealer for details.
- Incentive for the United States of America, unless otherwise specified.

About Buick Encore
The Buick Encore is a subcompact crossover utility vehicle (CUV). It slots below the Envision as Buick's smallest CUV and rides on the GM Gamma 2 platform shared most directly with the Chevrolet Trax; a variant of the architecture is also shared with the Chevrolet Sonic/Aveo. The model was Buick's first offering in the subcompact (B segment) crossover space.
Having launched for the 2013 model year in the U.S., the Trax received a refresh for the 2017 model year that consisted of all-new front and rear fascias, an updated interior, a new infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, and more.
The 2018 Buick Encore represents the fifth model year of the first-generation Encore. The model receives several changes including one new exterior color, a cabin ionizer, capless fuel fill, and several package-level changes. The 2019 Encore got two new exterior colors, the deletion of the Preferred II (1SD) and Premium (1SN) trim levels, and a new Safety Package called Safety Package II. The 2020 model is expected to be the last model year of the current, first-generation Encore before an all-new, second-generation model arrives.
The Buick Encore is produced at the following GM plants:
- GM Bupyeong factory in Bupyeong-Gu, South Korea operated by GM Korea supplying North America
- GM Dongyue South in Yantai, Shandong, China operated by GM China and SAIC supplying China
