PERFORMANCE

Buick Encore GX Performance

Above all else, your SUV needs to be ready for the many miles ahead. Thanks to the masterful engineers at Buick, the Encore GX receives the strength it needs in a smooth fashion that will make for peaceful drives.

Smooth Handling

Your journey starts with the turn of the ignition and the rev of the motor. The Encore GX has two different motors from which to choose. They include the available ECOTEC 1.3L Turbo engine, which generates 155 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque. This power makes the Encore GX capable of towing up to 1,000 pounds when properly equipped, so you can easily bring along your small camper of supplies.

The standard Continuous Variable Transmission system makes merging onto the highway easier than ever. Its constant micro-adjustments ensure that the engine’s power is optimized for a smooth and seamless drive. When combined with the available all-wheel drivetrain, you’ll have a smooth-riding vehicle with excellent command of the road.

Excellent Efficiency

Once you’re out on the highway, you’ll want to get to your destination as soon as possible. That means making fewer pit stops along the way, which calls for efficient engineering. Every driver can get behind maximizing their fuel tank, and the Encore GX gets the job done.

When properly equipped, the Encore GX achieves an EPA-estimated 29 city/31 highway MPG. This excellent efficiency lets you pass by the gas station confidently, saving time in the long run. You’ll be ready to go farther and enjoy more time behind the wheel.

DESIGN

Buick Encore GX Design

Buick's design is all about looking and feeling good. The Encore GX continues this tradition with its collection of stylish elements inside and out—there’s plenty for you to appreciate here.

Impressive Interior

Inside the cabin, you’ll be greeted by an array of forward-thinking design elements. The available leather-appointed seat trim, for example, gives off a premium vibe with a softness that caters to your comfort. The available 8-way power driver’s seat with heating functionality only adds to that driver-centric theme.

There’s plenty of space for your cargo as well. The standard area behind the rear seats measures 23.5 cubic feet for your everyday needs. When you fold down the second row, you’ll have 50.2 cubic feet of space to use as needed.

Superior Exterior

People’s lasting impressions often come from a first look. The outside of your vehicle should, therefore, be vibrant and eye-catching while maintaining your style. The Encore GX has eight different paint finishes to choose from, and each adds a striking aura to your drive. Choose from bold colors such as:

  • Brilliant Red
  • Ocean Blue
  • Copper Ice
  • Aquamarine Blue

Even the more classic shades of Summit White, White Frost, Moonstone Gray, and Ebony Twilight will cause passersby to do a double-take, ensuring that your first impression is lasting.
