I read that GM decided to offer both of their 1.4L engines, the LUV and the all new LE2 in their Buick Encore. The LUV 1.4L will be the base model engine, while the redesigned LE2 with more power/torque will be offered on the Encore Sport Touring model. My guess is they're going to give the Trax the new LE2 for the 2017 model year or as soon as they run out of the old 1.4L LUV engine.
