The 2025 Buick Encore GX stands out in the compact SUV class with features competitors don't offer. Stability control (StabiliTrak) comes standard-the Volkswagen Taos doesn't have it. Buick's exclusive QuietTuning(TM) technology, with triple door seals and acoustic glass, creates a serene cabin the Taos and Tucson can't match. On efficiency, the Encore GX delivers 29 city/31 highway MPG, beating the Hyundai Tucson's 26 city MPG. The Buick Infotainment System connects up to ten devices for seamless connectivity. Plus, Buick's ECOTEC engines offer up to 155 horsepower with impressive efficiency. Experience the difference yourself-visit Markquart Motors in Chippewa Falls or call (715) 833-0444 for a test drive.
