2013 Buick Encore
2013 Buick Encore At the end of the day, were left with a smartly accoutered and serene little shoe of a crossover that offers good daily manners for urban living. Buick may not have the clearest idea of what vehicles the Encore lines up against, but it does seem to have target customers in mind – buyers on both ends of lifes timeline who are mutually unencumbered by kids and their associated detritus. Young, childless professionals on one end and empty nesters on the other. This sounds just about right to us. With a starting price of $24,950 (including destination), the Encore stickers far below its (supposed) rival from BMW, priced more in line with larger but less premium-minded offerings from Volkswagen and Hyundai. Whether Buicks white space approach turns out to be this models masterstroke or its undoing will be interesting to watch, but after spending a days drive getting to know the Encore, we wouldnt bet against it.

We admit it. We have no earthly idea how this whole thing is going to shake out.
Typically, after driving a new car or truck, we come away prepared to hazard a guess as to whether said model has a good chance of being a sales success. Weve amassed enough time watching the industry, scrutinizing the competitors, and so on, to make a reasonably educated bet. Yet here we are, days removed from driving the new 2013 Buick Encore, and we still have no bloody idea.
To be fair, were in good company. Buicks perfectly capable public relations and marketing teams dont appear to entirely know what to expect from the Encore, either. Theyve had to strain to even find remote competitors to match their new baby against. BMW X1? Volkswagen Tiguan? Mini Countryman? All kinda-sorta-maybe rivals from our vantage point. Yet we cant necessarily provide better ones for this tiny semi-premium crossover, either. Fiscal cliff-discount Land Rover Range Rover Evoque? Uppity Hyundai Tucson? Nissan Juke ravished by Vilner? Its really rather hard to say what plays here. The above panoply of would-be rivals only hints at just how small the Encore is. At 168.5 inches long, its the shortest Buick in memory – stubbier, remarkably, than such past Trishield outliers as the Skyhawk, Somerset and Reatta.
Yet none of this size discussion or the lack of a clearly defined competitive set is to say that the Encore wont be a resounding success. Early signs from dealers – whose initial orders have been six times company estimates – are more than positive, and certainly Buick could do with another crossover underneath its much larger Enclave.Back to the size thing for a moment. Seeing the Encore away from the bright lights of its 2012 Detroit Auto Show reveal and on the street improved our initial impressions. When seen in its proper element, the city, the Encores scale and proportions start to make a lot more sense, and standard 18-inch alloys do wonders for its presence. Even so, theres no doubt that traditional Buick hallmarks like the Encores waterfall grille and hood-mounted Ventiports simply look better on larger-scale canvases. Theres a faint whiff of childrens dress-up here – the baby of the family wearing mom or dads jewelry, trying to act all grown up. Making a form this small look upscale is no easy task, however, and Buicks stylists have done an admirable job overall.
The same goes for the interior, which, at least in full-house spec with optional niceties like leather and navigation, certainly looks the part. Oh, we could debate the merits of the glassy faux wood trim, the occasionally hokey-looking iconography on the seven-inch Intellilink infotainment screen and Buicks continued obsession with a carpet of center stack buttons, but overall, its a comfortable, upscale place to be, particularly in our testers saddle motif. In fact, allow us to take a moment to underline "comfortable" – the packaging here is pretty impressive. Despite being sandwiched in between a 100.5-inch wheelbase, we found plenty of space up front, with the power height-adjustable seats affording dining-chair like height and a surprisingly commanding view without grazing the headliner. The back seat is a bit narrow, but more accommodating than one might think – we even had an occasion where we had four full-size adults riding in Buick still has the market cornered on quiet – it has stuffed a ton of sound deadening in the Encores nether reaches, added an acoustic-laminated windshield and thicker-than-normal side glass, along with a sound-absorbing headliner and whispering low-rolling resistance Continental rubber to keep things tranquil. Going one step beyond, the Encore also receives standard Bose Active Noise Cancellation, essentially a white noise generator that relies on three headliner-mounted microphones to detect and counter interior din. This is Buicks first application of the technology, but General Motors has employed ANC previously on the Chevrolet Equinox. Make no mistake, this isnt an indulgently scaled luxury sedan or SUV, but its still a very civilized place in which to weather ones morning commute.
Forward visibility is good, and the aforementioned seat height helps the driver to see eye-to-eye with larger crossovers, furthering the illusion that the Encore is larger than it is. Rear visibility is less convincing, with thick C-pillars and a smallish rear window crimping ones view. At least theres a standard rearview camera, along with 10 airbags if you still fail to see something.Its at this point in the program where the driving enthusiasts among you will probably want to tap out. Said plainly, while competent, this is not an entertaining vehicle to drive. Buick should offer no apologies for this reality, however – its not the Encores raison dêtre. This cute utes sole powertrain is the same 1.4-liter Ecotec turbocharged four cylinder found in the Chevrolet Sonic economy car. In truth, the two vehicles are only tangentially related, with the budget Bowtie riding atop GMs Gamma architecture and the Encore relying on the Gamma II underpinnings it shares with its twins the Opel/Vauxhall Mokka and Chevrolet Trax. The Sonic and the Encore dont actually share much underskin material, notes James Danahy, chief engineer on the Encore program. In fact, Danahy was quick to clarify that this Buick shares little beyond powertrain and seat frames with the Chevy, though "learnings" on things like crash energy dissipation have informed this crossovers development.

Like it is in the 2,700-pound Sonic, the 1.4 turbo is tuned to deliver 138 horsepower at 4,900 rpm and 148 pound-feet of torque at 1,850 rpm. While thats enough to make the humble Sonic a fun car, its not exactly a groundswell of muscle for the heavier Encore, which starts at 3,190 pounds for a front-drive model like our tester. Informal acceleration runs on our part generated a best 0-60 time of 10.0 seconds with two aboard – were guessing the official time will end up being somewhere in the high nines. More ominously, colleagues from other outlets reported 12-second times with three people and a bit of gear aboard an all-wheel-drive example. In either case, that means youll be staring at the taillights of every other vehicle weve mentioned to this point – if indeed youre lucky enough to even see the taillights of the far costlier X1 at all; BMW says a base sDrive28i will do the job in 6.2 seconds (and its usually conservative with its numbers). For further reference, the cheaper Hyundai Tucson will do the deed in about eight seconds. Youre as likely as not to be in a dead heat with that hipster driving a Nissan Cube in the next lane. The Encore is not quick, friends.Thank goodness its smooth, then. The six-speed Hydramatic is an agreeable partner, and theres even a bit of innovation happening in the $1,500 optional Active-On-Demand AWD system. Unlike most such systems that funnel torque to the wheels when slippage is detected, AOD uses a magnetically actuated clutch to pre-load the rear wheels with torque at every stop, automatically disengaging if no loss of traction is detected. The Borg Warner-developed system is said to be lighter and quicker acting than traditional AWD setups. With 6.2 inches of ground clearance front and rear, the Encore wont be up for much more than the occasional muddy field or curb hopping, but thats probably all that will ever be asked of it.
We disembarked from the Encores seemingly native habitat, Atlantas posh Centennial Park outdoor mall, negotiated area traffic and headed out on the highway, intent on sampling Georgias network of beautiful rolling country roads. Once up to speed on the superslab, the Encore was again pleasingly hushed in the Grand Buick Tradition, but merging onto the freeway and passing with any measure of authority required dropping down a cog or two, bringing with it the unmistakable auditory intrusion of four-cylinder strain. We werent really put off by the Encores highway comportment (in all honesty, it rides very well considering its short wheelbase), but we were less thrilled when it came to those bucolic two lanes. There are lots of hills in north central Georgia, and burdened by the Encores luxury lashings, the Ecotec just aint country strong. Combine a lack of power with this CUVs stubby dimensions, high center of gravity and precise-but-unengaging electric power steering, and there wasnt much incentive to press on.The Encore is just plain happier in urban settings, where its tight turning circle (just 36.7 feet) and tidy footprint make it a standout in the parking wars and dicing it up in traffic. The front MacPherson strut / rear torsion beam suspension is adept at smothering manhole covers and potholes, and at 18.8 cubic feet, the cargo hold is surprisingly generous for holding the days shoppings (and thats before folding the rear seats for a total of 48.4 cubes). As a leather-lined metropolitan runabout, the South Korean-built Encore makes a lot of sense – its power deficit isnt as apparent in a stop-and-go world, and the upside of its smallish powertrain is thrift – EPA estimates for the front-drive model sit at 25 miles per gallon city and 33 highway, for a combined rating of 28 mpg.

2013 Suzuki Grand Vitara Escudo get minor facelift
Reported to have attempted the Suzuki Grand Vitara more to put down as a crossover and less like an SUV. This is because the negative charge around the last automotive marketing term is constantly increasing, they would be environmentally unfriendly.
Less tough
The Japan delivered 2.4 liter petrol is in any case remained free of serious changes. Also features the 4x4 model still has a low gearing to stand his ground while driving fewer roads. However, the Escudo / Grand Vitara spare wheel from the tailgate removed. Presumably that is now under the car, which obviously looks less sturdy.
Dark Tinted
other exterior innovations are mainly found on the front. It shines a new front bumper and a more modern grille. At the rear, the lights now darker tint and wheels, we knew not yet. On the face of the improvements to the interior also limited, but clarity about when we get rammed Suzuki releases more details of the Escudo / Grand Vitara of 2013.

2013 GMC Terrain Denali Reviews
What is striking is that despite the increase in power of the GMC Terrain Denali its fuel consumption levels were not altered, their averages were maintained at 24 miles per gallon. It is remarkable what good engineering can achieve in times like we live in, where the uncertainty of gas prices is a constant concern.
The Terrain Denali brings an advanced level of style and power well conjugates both its aesthetics and experience to handle him. Following the news of the 2013 model, now has attachments that add convenience and security especially as the alert system "Side Blind Zone Alert" and "Rear Cross Traffic Alert" which basically function as a virtual shield which warns about the proximity of other vehicles on the sides, when about one too on the back or if a risk of collision. The system also sends an alert when the car leaves its lane by an electronic signal (Lane Departure Warning) reflected in the instrument panel and a sound that at times can be a bit annoying but you get used to quickly. The good thing is that the system can be turned off if you prefer the user.

The passenger seat is also an improvement over the previous model. Now is adjustable eight different positions to increase the comfort level of the compartment. Speaking of convenience and comfort, the rear liftgate has the ability to be programmed electronically to not open "more than necessary", ie this advantage minimizes the risk that the garage door from hitting the vehicle on opening . The space charge versatile 2013 GMC Terrain Denali offers 63.9 cubic feet from the first row of seats.
Its road handling is well balanced with a nice shooting and a quiet cabin, very comfortable. The GMC Terrain Denali we tried riding a 3.6-liter engine that produces an output of 301 horsepower and 272 lb.-ft. of torque. The secret of this engine is that it uses lightweight components that contribute to fuel economy without sacrificing power level.
The base model features a standard 2.4-liter Ecotec engine that produces 182 horsepower and a combined fuel economy of 32 miles per gallon. Obviously our preference, regardless of price, we deal with is the V6 engine has more thrust and better acceleration for natural reasons.
The Terrain Denali is offered in front-wheel drive base model. The unit we tested came with four-wheel drive four-wheel in SLE and SLT models. All models include electronic stability control "StabiliTrak" and traction control. Similarly come equipped with six airbags: two fronts, two side curtain bags and pelvic and thorax protection mounted on the sides of the chairs.
His figure aesthetic offers special elements among which the special design chrome grille, front and rear fascias body color, chrome trim, new headlamps and twin exhaust (single in version 2.4-liter). Tires 3.6 liter model are 19 inches while the other configuration in an 18 equips inches.
The basic price of the GMC Terrain Denali is 36.275 (V6 model). The unit we tested costs $ 40.425.
