Does the Encore have cruise control?
2 Answers
The Encore is equipped with cruise control, and its button is located on the left side of the center console. The Encore is a compact 5-door, 5-seat SUV with body dimensions of 4295mm in length, 1798mm in width, and 1616mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2570mm and a fuel tank capacity of 40 liters. The Encore is powered by a 1.3T turbocharged engine paired with a CVT transmission, delivering a maximum power of 121 kW at 5600 rpm and a maximum torque of 240 Nm between 1500 and 4000 rpm. It features front-wheel drive, with a MacPherson strut front suspension and a compound torsion beam rear suspension.
I just studied the Enclave's configuration sheet and found significant differences between different model years and versions. For example, the first generation launched in 2013 only had cruise control in the top trim, with the switch located in the multifunction area on the left side of the steering wheel. By the 2017 facelift, it became standard on mid-range trims and above, with the operation logic changed to a more convenient stalk design. The 2020 next-generation model equipped it across the entire lineup, even the base version, with buttons integrated on the right side of the steering wheel. Special praise for the new model: the adaptive cruise control with automatic braking and follow function is truly excellent - driving for three hours on the highway without any foot fatigue. But a reminder for owners of older models: it's best to turn off this function during rainy days or on winding mountain roads, as the system has some delay in recognizing sharp turns.
