Buick Encore Safety Technology
Before we get to this compact SUV’s impeccable safety ratings, we’d like to cover part of what makes it so safe—the state-of-the-art Buick Encore safety features. Take a look at a few of its most notable here.
• Available Side Blind Zone Alert: Let’s say you’re cruising along the highway and want to change lanes. With this feature, your side mirrors will alert you if there’s another vehicle in one or both of your blind spots. While you should still check the old-fashioned way, this feature is incredibly helpful.
• Available Rear Cross Traffic Alert: Not only can changing lanes or merging be easier, so can backing out of your driveway. That’s because this compact SUV offers something that can let you know if a vehicle is approaching from either the left or right side while you’re in reverse.
• Standard Rear Vision Camera: Of course, alerts and chimes aren’t all there is to automotive safety, especially when it comes to backing up. This standard Buick Encore feature will give you a direct line of sight to what’s behind you. It makes it easier to deal with things like soccer balls or discarded bikes!
• Available OnStar® safety and security suite: OnStar® comes with a ton of helpful systems, including an Automatic Crash Response, Emergency Services, and Roadside Assistance. Don’t venture out without it.
Yet, these standard and available driver-assisting technologies are just the beginning of how the Buick Encore protects you.
It also includes many of the more traditional safety considerations that you’d expect:
• 10 airbags
• 4-wheel antilock disc brakes
• Tire Pressure Monitoring System
• Signature LED Daytime Running Lamps
• StabiliTrak (electronic stability control system with traction control)
All this emphasis on safety has certainly grabbed the attention of experts. Read on to discover more.
