别克正在开发第二代昂科拉，最近谍照记者在开放路面拍到了这款车，从照片判断，这是典型的量产车型测试。虽然车身进行了重度伪装，但仍可看出不少细节。新车外观采用了渐进式改款，很多车身元素仍基于现行版。包括进一步提升的车窗线条，多点格栅设计和细窄的前大灯。新车看起来宽度和长度都有所增加。预计新车仍将搭载那台153马力1.4升涡轮增压引擎。不过，如果别克为新车提供取自凯迪拉克XT4的237马力2.0升直列四缸涡轮增压引擎也丝毫不奇怪。不过，这台引擎在昂科拉上预计功率将进一步调低。目前新车究竟采用何种内部结构还没有定论。虽然XT4的底盘是一个选项，但该车的内部结构是这个豪华品牌专属的。不过，无论采用何种平台，新车仍将坚持前轮驱动，而全驱仍是选装件。预计新车将作为2020款车型于明年发布。

 

2020 Buick Encore Spied: Do You Want More?

The Buick Encore is getting, well, an encore. The American brand is currently working on the second-generation of its smallest crossover SUV; a handful of which were caught driving on public streets as part of typical pre-production testing.

 

Wrapped in heavy camouflage, the Buick Encores caught in this video show only a handful of extraneous details about the sheet-metal below. Still, it appears as though the new Encore will wear evolutionary bodywork that builds upon the handsome design of today’s model. This includes a rising window line, a multi-point grille design, and slim headlights. Looking slightly wider and negligibly longer, the new Encore is expected to carry over the 153-horsepower turbocharged 1.4-liter engine that’s available in the current car. It wouldn’t surprise us if Buick offers the Cadillac XT4’s 237-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four as an option (though we’d expect Buick to turn down the engine's power relative to Cadillac).

 

What underpins the new Encore is up for debate. While the XT4's chassis would be the obvious choice, the pint-sized Cadillac crossover's architecture is considered “exclusive” to the luxury brand. Regardless, expect the Encore to once again come standard with front-wheel-drive. All-wheel-drive will continue to be optionally available.

 

Look for the all-new Encore to be revealed in 2019 as a 2020 model year vehicle, and watch the video below to see the upcoming Buick crossover in all of its camouflaged glory.
