RIDE & HANDLING
SUSPENSION
• Capable stance – 100.6" wheelbase
and wide stance (60.6" front/rear
tracks) contribute to its handling.
• Independent front suspension –
MacPherson struts and coil springs,
hydraulic ride bushings and a large-
diameter stabilizer bar that helps
keep Encore flat in tight turns and
when cornering.
• Semi-independent rear suspension –
Features a compound crank (torsion
beam) design with gas-charged, twin-
tube shocks.
BRAKING
• 4-wheel disc Antilock Braking System
(ABS) – Standard.
• Brake Assist – Standard.
• Hill Start Assist – Keeps brakes
engaged to prevent rolling back or
forward when pulling away from a
stop on an incline of 5% or more.
HANDLING
• All-wheel drive – Encore’s automatic
system constantly monitors traction
at all four wheels. When slip is
detected, it automatically directs
torque to the front or rear wheels
with the most grip to help you stay in
control. Available.
• Park-abilities – With a 36.7' turning
diameter. See Top Selling Features.
• Electric variable-effort power
steering – Offers more steering assist
at lower speeds and less assist at
higher speeds. The efficient system
also draws energy only when the
wheels are turned to save fuel.
SAFETY
BEFORE
• 4-channel Antilock Braking System
with Brake Assist – ABS helps
maintain steering control and prevents
wheel lockup during hard braking on
most slippery surfaces. Brake Assist
boosts brake pressure in sudden,
hard-braking situations and can help
reduce stopping distances.
• Daytime Running Lamps – Increase
vehicle visibility to others.
• Forward Collision Alert – Available.
See Top Selling Features.
• Full-Range Traction Control – Helps
maintain traction if slip is detected
at a front wheel and applies braking
and/or reduces engine throttle.
