General Motor has been quite successful with the Opel/Vauxhall Mokka and the Buick Encore in more than two years on the market. However, the market for small crossovers is now in quite expansion, so the little crossovers need to get some small changes. There is no doubt that update work is more than a good idea, but it seems that the company is also doing some additional changes, like a new engine option and some updated cabin technology. So far, it is not clear when the new lineup of crossovers will be ready, but since this prototype doesn’t seem to be close to a production-spec car, the company might be keeping these changes for next year. The new 2016 Buick Encore has already been announced, so these updates and changes won’t probably be available until the 2017 model year. Regardless, the changes will surely help to make this 2017 Buick Encore crossover a much better choice in the mid-level luxury market.
