It’s not a pricey increase, but it aids with both power and fuel economy, though it can be noisy. The base engine is fine, but most critics recommend upgrading to the stronger option. Transmission: continuously variable automatic (CVT) with FWD nine-speed automatic with AWD.Drivetrain: standard front-wheel drive available all-wheel drive.Available engine: turbocharged 1.3-liter three-cylinder with 155 horsepower and 174 pound-feet of torque.Base engine: turbocharged 1.2-liter three-cylinder with 137 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque.Though ultimate acceleration won't blow your hair back, there's enough grunt under the hood to keep you moving with traffic without much issue." - Edmunds (2020)Įngine Options, Horsepower, and Acceleration "The Encore GX's available 1.3-liter three-cylinder engine is surprisingly peppy.The suspension is fine on smooth roads, but lets bumpy pavement punch through to the cabin." - Consumer Reports (2020) "Handling is responsive on curvy roads, and remains secure even when pushed on the track in simulated emergency maneuvers.

The Buick's ride is also agreeably smooth and controlled, but it doesn't offer any handling thrills." - Car and Driver "On the road, the Encore GX feels peppier than its acceleration results suggest, particularly around town where the small turbo engine delivers good low-end grunt.Thought about upgrading to a 2023, however the Buick does not hold its value like my Subarus do so cancelled that idea. Would still buy again, would recommend to a friend. I know it would not do that down at near sea level but is a nice thing anyway.

By the way, up here at 8,000 plus feet it gets over 40 mpg. I would still recommend to anyone wanting a small SUV. I miss that it does not have the adaptive cruise control that keeps you spaced from the car ahead. Would be much easier to keep clean if they were leather.

Now I see a reason for the upgrade and wish I had, as by now the extra money spent would seem inconsequential. Would recommend and would buy again in the same situation. The paint seems to chip easier than I think it should so I now have a bottle of touch up to use so that it does not become a problem. The hot spot was ok but did not work as well as I initially thought so did not pay for the subscription and let it lapse. I did replace the all seasons with snow tires. Update: I have now had this vehicle for 10 months. Ours is in "preferred" trim 4wd, and truly cannot see why I would spend the extra to go up a model. The EncoreGX gets the job done! If you are in the market for a new small SUV, look at the EncoreGX. Was not looking to buy a new SUV when we found this but could not refuse the deal Buick offered. We live very rural and so do little to no "city" driving. Though we repeatedly saw that mileage on the highway would be at best 30mpg out real life experience, so far, is 36mpg. The car comes with it's own hotspot which is really nice in Colorado where we often had no cell reception while driving. Setting up my wife's apple and my android … phone was a snap. My wife and I have no children at home so we are not concerned about back seat layout so I will not comment on that. Very easy for this large Colorado, hat wearing cowboy, to get in and out of. Know that this vehicle is better than the "professional" reviewers give it credit for.
