The 2025 Buick Encore GX delivers the ideal blend of power and fuel efficiency.

**Engine Choices:** Select the standard ECOTEC 1.2L Turbo engine or upgrade to the available ECOTEC 1.3L Turbo engine. The 1.2L now supports E85 ethanol fuel, giving you flexibility at the pump. Both pair with a Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT) for smooth acceleration.

**Power & Efficiency:** The turbocharged engines produce up to 155 horsepower while achieving 29 city and 31 highway MPG-outperforming many compact SUV competitors.

**Control & Stability:** Standard StabiliTrak automatically adjusts for wheel slippage in challenging conditions, giving you confidence in rain, snow, or slick roads. An available intelligent all-wheel drive system enhances grip and cornering performance.

**Driving Dynamics:** Front-wheel drive comes standard with Ride and Handling suspension tuned for agility and versatility-ready for city commutes or weekend getaways.

**2025 Updates:** The newly optimized 1.2L engine and E85 compatibility offer more driving flexibility than previous model years.
