The 2025 Buick Encore GX delivers responsive power with two turbocharged engine options. The standard ECOTEC 1.2-liter turbo now supports E85 ethanol fuel for added flexibility at the pump. An available ECOTEC 1.3-liter turbo provides up to 155 horsepower, paired with a smooth Continuously Variable Transmission and standard front-wheel drive. For enhanced grip and control, an intelligent all-wheel drive system is available and excels in challenging road conditions. Buick's standard StabiliTrak system automatically adjusts for wheel slippage to maintain traction and stability. This combination of refined turbocharged power, efficient transmission, and advanced stability control makes the Encore GX agile and confident on city streets or weekend getaways.
