The 2015 Buick Encore scores big on safety, a recent New Car Assessment Program published in Media Buick shows. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has awarded a 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score to both Encore all-wheel and front-wheel-drive models.
The 2015 Buick Encore compact SUV has been available in the United States for three years. This compact SUV is about 170 inches long, making it smaller than the subcompact Chevy Sonic sedan. The size of this SUV is aimed at attracting growing numbers of buyers looking for a compact SUV that combines premium appointments with excellent fuel economy. The reasonably priced, four-cylinder engine Buick Encore also offers a comfortable ride and features a set of upscale interiors. The 2015 Buick vehicles that achieved 5-star status include the Enclave, Verano, LaCrosse and Regal.
According to the report, the Vice President of Buick, Duncan Aldred, intimates that the NHTSA’s evaluation confirms Encore’s high safety ratings in the Buick family. Aldred adds that consumers shouldn't be surprised by the Encore’s ability to deliver high connectivity, sophistication, comfort and style, similar to its much larger counterparts. The 5-star ratings were attained as a result of tests done to gauge NCAP front, rollover and side performances. These tests are in addition to the side pole impact test, which simulates the impact of hitting a tree behind the driver side, while driving at 20 mph. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration safety scores are serially undertaken to reflect crash test standards and ratings for new cars. This highly distinguished government safety test is closely followed by industry watchers and car buyers.
Some of the other safety features that sets the 2015 Buick Encore above the rest include 10 standard air bags (with front and knee air bags for both driver and front passenger). Standard features include a rearview camera, GM’s StabiliTrak Stability control mechanism and 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes. The car also features a strong body structure that is made of 66 percent ultra-high-strength steel. The other safety equipment on the 2015 Buick encore includes fog lamps, automatic climate control, side blind-zone alert and rear cross-traffic-alert systems. These accessories are bundled as part of the Convenience package. The Premium Encore models, on the other hand, feature a forward collision alert, front-and-rear park assist and a lane-departure warning.
Aside from safety, the much touted interior of the new 2015 Buick Encore features a handsome cabin and high quality materials. The other impressive feature is the commanding driving position that is supported by a soft cushy suspension. New Buick models are designed to incorporate the Avenir concept that incorporates a new device integration, new design proportion and rejuvenated interior. The concept was unveiled recently at the NAIAS event in Detroit. Buick is a globally renowned luxury vehicle manufacturer that offers modern vehicles with captivating designs, highly ergonomic personal technologies, and elegant interiors coupled with high performance. The new models of Buick vehicles churning out of the company’s assembly plants are increasingly capturing the hearts and soul of many car buyers from North America and China.
