1 Answers
The buttons shown are for the vehicle's air conditioning system. The round knob on the left with red and blue markings adjusts the temperature, while the one on the right controls the fan speed. The four buttons in the middle primarily manage the air recirculation and front/rear window defrosting functions. The two front buttons with arrow symbols adjust the air vent direction, and the rear one activates the side window defrosting. Expanded information about the Encore is as follows: 1. Model: The Encore is developed on GM's small crossover platform, featuring a coupe-like SUV design rarely seen in this segment and excellent dynamic performance. It will be successively launched in China, North America, and Europe, making it a truly global model. 2. Configuration: Standard equipment includes a 1.4T engine, 18-inch alloy wheels with Bridgestone wide tires, and ESC dynamic stability control system. On October 10, the Buick ENCORE officially debuted in Shanghai, offering four variants: Urban Entry, Urban Elite, Urban Premium, and All-Wheel-Drive Flagship. The Chinese name for this model is "Angkela" (Encore). All four variants share the 1.4T displacement. Except for the Urban Entry with a 6-speed manual transmission, the other three models feature a 6-speed automatic transmission. All variants except the flagship are front-wheel drive. Five exterior colors are available: Ruby Red, Mica Gray, Summit White, Silver Ice, and Onyx Black. 3. Powertrain: The Buick Encore is equipped with a new 1.4T-Ecotec turbocharged four-cylinder engine delivering 103kW maximum power and 200N·m peak torque, rivaling 2.0L naturally aspirated engines. It pairs with either a Hydra-Matic 6T40 six-speed automatic or 6-speed manual transmission. The automatic shifter features a distinctive design with push-button manual shift controls similar to those in the GL8 and Chevrolet Malibu, with manual shift buttons located on the gear knob top. The manual transmission variant uses an imported 6-speed manual gearbox, offering tight gear ratios and excellent shift feel for driving enthusiasts seeking more engaging options.
