The Encore (2013 to 2022) is Buick's subcompact crossover. It uses a 1.4-liter turbo four-cylinder with a 6-speed automatic and front- or all-wheel drive.


Model year 2013 is part of the first-generation Encore (2013–2022). It is the first model year of this generation: the platform, wiring and many procedures changed compared with the previous model, so a manual for an earlier year will not match it.
Check the model year on your VIN: on a 2013 vehicle the 10th character of the 17-digit VIN is “D”. Vehicles built for North America always carry the model year in that position; on some European or Australian vehicles it may be left unused, so in that case go by the registration papers or the build plate.
At about 13 years old, a 2013 vehicle often needs work on the cooling system, timing components, suspension bushings, motor mounts and corroded electrical connectors, all jobs where the exact factory procedure and torque values save time.
