The 2025 Buick Encore GX balances refined power with impressive efficiency. Choose the standard ECOTEC 1.2L turbocharged engine, which now supports E85 ethanol fuel for added pump flexibility, or upgrade to the available ECOTEC 1.3L turbocharged engine. Both deliver up to 155 horsepower paired with a smooth Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT). Standard front-wheel drive combines with StabiliTrak electronic stability control and traction management to keep you confident in any condition. An available intelligent all-wheel drive system enhances grip and cornering for added control. The Encore GX achieves excellent efficiency with 29 MPG city and 31 MPG highway. Ready to test drive?
