Overview
Though the name might feel eerily similar to an existing sub-compact SUV, Buick promises that the Buick encore GX is a completely new model from its lineup for 2020. Slotted between the regular Encore and the Envision, the 2020 Buick encore GX comes in as a perfect option for those looking for a compact, comfortable, reasonably spacious, and premium daily commuter. Boasting an upscale design and high-quality cabin, this Buick will definitely set you apart from the regular crop of city-goers.
The 2020 Buick encore GX is offered in three standard trim levels each offered with two powertrain options. You could either go for a base 1.2L 3-cylinder pumping out 137hp that has been coupled to a CVT or the higher 155hp 1.3L 3-cylinder mill that does the job with a 9-speed automatic. The former only comes in a front-wheel-driven configuration while the latter comes in as AWD from the factory. The base price for the 1.2 turbo starts from around 24,100 while the same trim with the 1.3 turbos will come 2 grand dearer. The main competitors for the 2020 Buick encore GX will be the Hyundai Kona, the Honda HR-V, and the Mazda CX-3.
