Buick Encore

The Encore is a subcompact luxury crossover from General Motors’ Buick brand currently spanning one generation.

As part of the global alignment of Buick with its Opel and Vauxhall brands in Europe by parent firm General Motors, the Encore is essentially a rebadged Opel-Vauxhall Mokka.

First Generation

The first-generation Buick Encore made its debut for the 2013 model year. Based on GM’s global Gamma platform, the Encore is essentially a replica of the Euro-market Opel Mokka and Vauxhall Mokka. Other GM vehicles using the Gamma architecture include the Chevrolet Aveo/Sonic.
