The winners of the 2020 reliability study were chosen based on Consumer Reports’ predictions of 2021 models’ dependability. To determine the winners of the study, the publication reviewed data from more than 300,000 vehicle owners who owned a vehicle from the most recent three model years. The models that aced the study were linked to fewer user-reported problems in the last 12 months.
It’s not surprising that the Buick Encore performed well in this year’s reliability ranking. This summer, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and Consumer Reports listed the Encore among its top models for teen drivers due to its safety tech and its performance during crash tests.
It’s also worth noting that the Buick brand ranked highly on the study’s results. The manufacturer secured fourth place on Consumer Report’s list of top 26 reliable automakers.
