The 2025 Buick Encore GX stands out with features competitors don't offer. It delivers 29 city / 31 highway MPG-beating the Hyundai Tucson's 26 city MPG. Standard StabiliTrak stability control, Buick's exclusive QuietTuning noise-reduction technology, and the Buick Infotainment System (connecting up to ten devices) come built in. The Volkswagen Taos and Hyundai Tucson lack these standard features. The Encore GX also offers up to 155 horsepower with ECOTEC turbo technology, refined QuietTuning with triple door seals and acoustic glass for a serene cabin, and an available intelligent all-wheel-drive system for enhanced grip and control.
