Buick's revised 2017 Encore small SUV has been spotted completely undisguised at a photo shoot in Southern California. The updated Encore will made its official introduction at the New York auto show.

As expected, the new Encore closely mirrors Opel's latest Mokka Xutility vehicle. For the Encore that means an updated grille, revised headlights with LED accents and a faux skid plate. The back of the Encore largely carries over, but new taillights and a tweaked lower bumper are included in the revision.

The interior of the 2017 Encore will also be new with a more modern-looking center stack. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto will also be included for the new model year.

Powertrain offerings should continue on unchanged. Base versions of the Encore will ship standard with a 1.4L turbocharged four-cylinder tuned to deliver 138 horsepower. An up-rated version of the turbo four with 153 horsepower will also be available.

Look for the 2017 Buick Encoreto go on-sale following its March unveiling in the Big Apple.
