The 2021 Buick Encore earned a spot on the list for its 1.4-liter Turbo engine, which reaches an EPA-estimated 25 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway. According to U.S. News, this SUV is a suitable option for everyday driving. Its small stature makes it easy to drive through narrow city streets and around sharp turns. Plus, it offers available all-wheel drive and safety systems for additional assistance on the road.
