Extraordinary Compact Options With The Buick Encore & Encore GX

If you’re looking for a compact SUV, you’ll have a lot of great options with both the Buick Encore and Encore GX. Both models offer luxury, comfort and convenience in a size perfect for city life. But while the Buick Encore is a familiar favourite among the model lineup, the Encore GX is all-new and provides different options to meet your needs.

To help you decide which model is best for you, we’ll highlight some key similarities and differences between the two. But no matter which model you choose, you can count on versatility, style and impressive technology.

2020 Buick Encore

Although the Encore is compact in size, it commands attention. Its exterior design features smooth contouring and subtle metallic accents to provide an overall luxurious appearance. It sits on 18” machine-face alloy wheels with metallic pockets. It also features front and rear fascias with grey accents to complement the chrome throughout the exterior. The deep-tinted windows and halogen headlamps make for a stealthy entrance. And the available power moonroof lets you make the most of those beautiful, sunny days. The Encore is available in 7 textured exterior paint options you’ll love.

Step inside with keyless entry and start. The interior is designed with exceptional comfort in mind. The Encore offers 2 leatherette seat trims and comes standard with a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Seating is versatile to help you make the most of your cargo space. The Encore is also packed with entertainment and convenience technology to help you enjoy your time on the road. You’ll have Android Auto and Apple CarPlay capability through the 8” infotainment touchscreen and a 6-speaker audio system with QuietTuning technology.

Under the hood, you’ll find a 1.4L DOHC turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The Encore is available in either front-wheel or all-wheel drive. The Encore is also equipped with StabiliTrak technology, designed to automatically intervene when it senses a loss of traction on icy, wet or uneven roads.

Although the 2020 Buick Encore is only offered in 1 trim, you can opt for one of the 4 available packages to add to your ride:

  • Road Trip Package: includes all-weather floor mats and roof rack cross rails.

The Encore GX is as fun to drive as it looks. Under the hood, you’ll find an ECOTEC 1.3L Turbo engine and 9-speed automatic transmission.
