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.


Your 2017 Buick Encore is from the first-generation Encore, which covers model years 2013–2022. Most procedures are shared with the other years of this generation, but engines, options and wiring changed from year to year, so the manual is made for the 2017 model year.
Check the model year on your VIN: on a 2017 vehicle the 10th character of the 17-digit VIN is “H”. 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 9 years old, a 2017 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.
Same generation: 2013 Buick Encore, 2014 Buick Encore, 2015 Buick Encore, 2016 Buick Encore, 2018 Buick Encore, 2019 Buick Encore, 2020 Buick Encore, 2021 Buick Encore, 2022 Buick Encore.
