    City-Sized Luxury Crossover 2020 Buick Encore Essence Drive your Dreams

    If you want premium comfort without a premium footprint, this 2020 Buick Encore Essence is ready for you at Tom Tepe Autocenter in Milan, Indiana, and Car Country in Aurora, IN, and Harrison, OH. Our dealerships proudly serve Milan, Aurora, Harrison, Greater Cincinnati, and Northern Kentucky, helping busy drivers and families find small SUVs that are big on comfort, style, and value.

    The Encore Essence is tailor-made for life in the Tri-State. Its efficient ECOTEC 1.4L turbocharged engine and 6-speed automatic transmission give you smooth, confident acceleration for merging onto I-74, while the Ride & Handling suspension keeps things calm and composed over rough Midwest pavement. It's easy to park in downtown Cincinnati, yet versatile enough for weekend runs to the lake or ballfields.

    Inside, this Encore feels far more upscale than its compact footprint suggests. Leather-appointed seats, power-adjustable driver and front passenger seats, and a memory seat for the driver mean every trip feels custom-fit. Heated front seats and a heated steering wheel are game-changing on frosty Indiana and Ohio mornings, while automatic temperature control keeps everyone comfortable year-round.

    Tech-wise, it's all about staying connected and in control. The Buick Infotainment System with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto lets you bring your apps, maps, and music right to the touchscreen, and the 6-speaker audio system keeps podcasts and playlists sounding crisp. The Exterior Parking Camera Rear helps you slip into tight spots with confidence, and OnStar and Buick Connected Services capability add extra peace of mind on long drives and family road trips.

    Thoughtful details like 18" aluminum wheels, heated power mirrors with turn signal indicators, split-folding rear seats, and a cleverly designed cargo area make daily life easierwhether you're hauling groceries in Milan, gear in Aurora, or luggage through Harrison on your way to the airport.

      absolutely love this car!

      by Barb on Tuesday, November 07, 2017

      I fell in love when I first saw this car. Traded in a 2005 Jeep Liberty with only 68000 miles on it. The quiet and feel while driving is amazing! Am getting 25/32 MPG obviously better than the Jeep. Would have liked an auto trunk lid, hard to maneuver with pkgs in your arms but plenty of room for groceries etc. I am not tech savvy so I am still learning all the things available on this car. Was leary at first about 4cl turbo but it has plenty of pep on straight away as well as mountain roads. Am a senior citizen and getting in and out is a breeze. Price and value I feel is very good

      Junkyard vehicle's

      by Lisa on Sunday, April 28, 2024

      They are a complete lemon. Way too expensive for repairs. Bad transmission, and engine. Interior is just cheap everything. These vehicles are a lemon waiting for something else to get fixed. Not reliable, and a terrible book value.

      I, wouldn't buy this vehicle

      by Cassie on Sunday, April 28, 2024

      Bad reputation, transmission, engine, and many other complaints. Terrible resale value, bad fuel mileage. It's a pile of junk!! These are one of the worst suvs ever. It was none stop problems over, and over doing repairs.
