About the Encore 1.4 Turbo 138

The 2014 Buick Encore 1.4 Turbo 138 is an all-wheel-drive turbocharged SUV of 1,501 kg with 135 bhp, which works out at 90 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.49 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 9,164th quickest to 60 mph, and the 16th quickest of the 21 Buicks here. It leaves better than it pulls: 79.0 mph at the lights is only the 10,555th highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Buick Encore 1.4 Turbo 138 0-60 time?
The Buick Encore 1.4 Turbo 138 reaches 60 mph in 9.44 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 9,164th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Buick Encore 1.4 Turbo 138 quarter mile time?
17.05 s at 79.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.83 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.49 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Buick Encore 1.4 Turbo 138 have?
135 bhp and 1,501 kg, which is 90 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 185 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Buick Encore 1.4 Turbo 138?
Closest here on pace: Peugeot 2008 1.6 e-HDi 115 (9.47 s), Nissan Murano 2.5 190 (9.46 s), Mazda 5 / Premacy 2.0 CiTD 143 (9.48 s). Each one can be raced against the Buick Encore 1.4 Turbo 138 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Buick Encore 1.4 Turbo 138 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
