The 2025 Buick Encore GX gives you a choice of turbocharged power. The standard ECOTEC 1.2L turbo engine now supports E85 ethanol fuel for added flexibility at the pump, or step up to the available ECOTEC 1.3L turbo for enhanced performance. Both deliver up to 155 horsepower paired with a smooth continuously variable transmission (CVT). Standard front-wheel drive handles most driving conditions; if you want extra confidence in variable weather, an available intelligent all-wheel drive system boosts grip, cornering, and overall stability. Every Encore GX comes with StabiliTrak electronic stability control that automatically adjusts for wheel slippage, keeping you secure in challenging conditions. The result is agile, versatile driving ready for city commutes or weekend adventures. Curious which engine is right for you? Call Markquart Motors at (715) 833-0444 to discuss options and schedule your test drive.
