Model overview

The Buick Encore GX is a subcompact SUV made by GM in 2019. Like the similar but smaller Encore, the Encore GX is made outside the U.S.

In North America, the Encore GX was launched in 2019 and made its debut in early 2020 for the 2020 model year. Is positioned between the smaller Buick Encore and the midsize Buick Envision, but it does not substitute the Buick Encore.

The second powertrain is a 1.3-liter, turbocharged 3-cylinder engine producing 155 hp, which is by default with all-wheel-drive, and paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission.
