The 2025 Buick Encore GX offers two turbocharged engine choices: a standard ECOTEC 1.2L turbo and an available ECOTEC 1.3L turbo. The 1.2L now supports E85 ethanol fuel for added flexibility at the pump.

Both engines pair with a Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT) and standard front-wheel drive. The Encore GX delivers up to 155 horsepower while achieving impressive fuel economy-29 city and 31 highway MPG.

Handling and control are enhanced by standard StabiliTrak electronic stability control with traction management, which automatically adjusts for wheel slippage in challenging conditions. An available intelligent all-wheel drive system further boosts grip and cornering performance for drivers who want extra confidence in varied weather or road conditions.

The Ride and Handling suspension is tuned for smooth, agile driving whether you're navigating city streets or enjoying highway drives.
