In the compact premium crossover segment, Buick’s 2013 Encore has been recognized by Vincentric as a “Consumer Best Value in Canada” in the premium compact crossover segment. This award is a result of Buick’s dedication to providing customers a versatile and efficient small CUV.
“The 2013 Buick Encore delivers the luxury and functionality that today’s consumers are looking for, in a right sized, efficient and manoeuvrable vehicle,” said Vincent Boillot, marketing manager, crossovers, General Motors of Canada Limited. “The value reinforced by the Vincentric award demonstrates the effort and attention to detail given by our engineers and designers.”
To determine the 2013 Vincentric Best Value in Canada awards, Vincentric analyzed over 1,800 vehicle configurations measuring cost-of-ownership using eight different cost factors: depreciation, fees & taxes, financing, fuel, insurance, maintenance, opportunity cost, and repairs. Using a statistical model, the company identified the “Vincentric Best Value in Canada” winners by measuring which vehicles had lower than expected ownership costs given their market segment and price.
