It is true that with the arrival of Theoncove PLUS and the Anko Banner, It does make Buick's seven-seat SUV market layout in the mainland appear richer and more competitive. But the older generation of riders should remember that before these new cars were born, Buick's main means of competition in the domestic market in this field was Uncoré, who was jokingly called the "boss car" by many people. Unfortunately, due to the high price brought about by the pure import status, it has become more and more unpopular. Even though the new generation of Uncoré was released at the New York Auto Show as early as 2017, it was not introduced domestically. Of course, not entering the country does not mean that Oncoré will no longer upgrade. No, recently overseas netizens have given a group of new Encore real shots that have been upgraded in the medium term. Without further ado, let's take the opportunity to catch a glimpse of the new Encore.
In terms of appearance, after using the latest design language, the new Encore really has the taste of "large Encore Flag". Its front face is matched with a shield-shaped grille with a blackened bottom, and with split headlights and a hook style formed by the extension of the front bracket, it can show a strong sharpness like the Onco flag. Moreover, the flying wing chrome plating lined with the grille and the trim on the periphery also make it appear more delicate.
On the side of the car, the new Oncoré is no longer as full and rounded as we thought. Its powerful waistline, combined with the D-pillar of the small slip style, exudes a slender and dynamic aesthetic similar to the Encore flag.
Even the tail of the new Oncoré has a penetrating chrome plating similar to the domestic on-site Encore flag and a relatively small taillight style. In addition, the large-area blackened rear envelopment and the contained bilateral rectangular exhaust will further sublimate its overall sporty texture.
The line of sight turns to the interior of the car, the interior layout of the new Encore will also continue the existing family-style blade-like central control, although the size of the semi-LCD instrument and the embedded central control screen is not very large, but after combining the button shift, there is no lack of modern design elements. Moreover, the laying form of a large number of soft materials also allows it to maintain a distinct aesthetic luxury characteristic.
In terms of space, the new Encore has a length, width and height of 5189/2002/1775mm and a wheelbase of 3071mm. The size arrangement that is one circle larger than the domestic on-the-go Encore flag will not only further interpret its identity as a "large Anko flag", but also show its more abundant internal space than the Encore banner.
As for power, the new Encore will continue to be powered by a 3.6-litre V6 naturally aspirated engine with a maximum output of 310 horsepower and mated to a 9-speed manual transmission.
Although this generation of Encore has not introduced domestic sales, it is not ruled out that it has entered the country in the form of pure imports after the change. So, if the new Oncolet can really enter the domestic sales, will it be the object of your consideration?
