Learn more about the 2022 Buick Encore configurations and features with Honolulu GMC, and then stop by our dealership in Honolulu to explore our Encore and Encore GX inventories!
2022 Buick Encore Configurations
The Encore is available in a single configuration, which means that you can access top-of-the-line features right off the bat, without needing to upgrade with a higher trim level. That said, there are technically two Buick Encore configurations to choose from: standard front-wheel drive or available all-wheel drive.
What’s the difference? While a FWD model is a good choice for Ewa Beach commuters looking to optimize fuel economy, those looking for enhanced control on more difficult driving surfaces should consider upgrading with the AWD version. Here’s a closer look at the Encore MPG for FWD vs. AWD models:
2022 Buick Encore FWD
- Engine: Turbocharged Ecotec 1.4L
- Output: 155 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque
- EPA-Estimated Fuel Economy: 24 city/32 highway MPG
2022 Buick Encore AWD
- Engine: Turbocharged Ecotec 1.4L
- Output: 155 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque
- EPA-Estimated Fuel Economy: 23 city/30 highway MPG
So while the two Buick Encore configurations use the same engine to generate equal levels of horsepower and torque, the FWD model saves fuel by restricting power to the front axle.
2022 Buick Encore Features
The biggest benefit of a single Buick Encore trim level? More features without a costly trim upgrade. Rather than agonizing over multiple trim levels to find the one that has most of the features you want, you can add features individually to the Encore base trim for exactly the upgrade you’re looking for in Waipahu. Here are a few of our favorite Encore add-on features to get you started:
- LED daytime running lamps/taillamps
