The Buick Encore GX might just be one of the best kept secrets in the automotive or at the very least among entry-level sport utility vehicles. When you think of a small SUV, you think of a sport utility vehicle that delivers not just versatility, but also fuel economy. You also think of a relatively affordable vehicle that is perfect for young families or active buyers that want a spacious vehicle but do not necessarily want to pay more than they need to.
What you don't always think about, is luxury. As a matter of fact, there are very few sport utility vehicles in the small SUV segment that could be characterized as luxurious, especially when you are paying less than $40,000. That is what makes the Buick Encore GX so unique and so impressive. Here are three reasons why you might want to consider a new 2023 Buick Encore GX as your next small SUV.
Exceptional value
The Buick Encore GX simply gives you more than its competitors. It gives you more space, it gives you better efficiency, it gives you more technology, and it certainly gives you more luxury. The base Buick Encore GX features wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, 18-inch wheels, an 8-inch centre display, and the full suite of Buick Driver Confidence active safety technologies.
These include features such as automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist and lane departure warning, and a lot more. These driver assistance technologies provide better peace of mind on the road and keep you and your family safe. As you move up to the higher Essence trim, you enjoy leather seats, a heated steering wheel, and standard all-wheel drive. You also get dual-zone climate controls. Now, the features offered in the Buick Encore GX are one thing, but the fact that you can get all of the standard features and all-wheel drive for under $30,000 before taxes and fees. This is the most impressive part of the Buick entry-level SUV. Even the top-of-the-line model has a starting price of under $35,000.
Remarkable efficiency and performance
The 2023 Buick Encore GX is available with either a 1.2 L three-cylinder engine that delivers 137 hp and 162 pound-feet of torque, or a more powerful 1.3 L turbocharged three-cylinder engine with 155 hp and 174 pound-feet of torque.
There are two things that stand out about these engines. The first is the torque which is simply impressive and certainly above and beyond what you find in other small SUVs. Torque is the most important factor when you are driving in the city or passing on the highway, and the amount of torque you get in your vehicle is directly proportional to how quickly it accelerates and reacts. In simple terms, the Buick Encore GX definitely delivers on the performance front. That said, the fuel economy is even more impressive. You'll average under 8 L per 100 km with the 1.2 L engine, and under 9 L per 100 km with the 1.3 L engine and all-wheel drive.
A lot of interior space
Last but not least, the 2023 Buick Encore GX gives you a lot of interior space. The most notable element of this small SUV can be found in the trunk where you get nearly 1,500 L of total cargo space. There is enough space to fit an 8-foot board or object when you lower the rear seats. Despite its small size that's perfect for the city, the 2023 Buick Encore GX is very versatile.
