Buick Encore GX
Model Overview
Buick added the Encore GX in 2020 to expand its low-end crossover lineup. Building on the subcompact Encore, the GX is a little bigger and more handsome inside and out, while a pair of new three-cylinder engines promise strong motivation and efficiency. The Encore GX provides Buick loyalists with another way to get the brand's trademark quiet, smooth performance in a modern, flexible package.
