Sub-compact SUVs like the 2020 Buick Encore GX are not ideally track slayers and are more of a comfortable daily-driver. The Mada is also the lone contender here which offers a 6-speed automatic transmission. However, the GX’s arch-rivals, the Mazda CX-30 does take a massive segment lead with its 186 hp, 2.5-liter inline-4 motor. While the 9-speed auto with the 1.3-liter turbo does holds up gears well, the CVT with the 1.2-liter box seems a tad rushed in exhausting itself during the early revv-count.Īmong the segment rivals here, no huge numbers and the Nissan Rogue Sport along with the Honda HR-V happen to be equally powerful as the Encore GX. However, neither of the engines feel remarkably energetic. While the 1.2-liter pot seems just capable enough to carry out everyday tasks, the 1.3-liter unit brings in some noticeable flair in the GX’s performance. Irrespective of what engine you are driving the Encore GX with, you will be greeted with refinement and enthusiasm coming from underneath the hood. While the Encore GX is already comfortable on the move, the optional AWD would certainly help it with better grip, traction and handling on the go.

The Select trim surely has a nicely balanced feature list like powered drivers seat, dual-zone air conditioning, blind-spot monitoring as well as heated front seats. We recommend picking up the mid-level “Select’ trim and pairing it up with the optional AWD. As you move up the trim order, the Encore GX only adds up to its niceties.īlind-Spot Monitoring and Rear-Cross Traffic Alert
Even the base model gets an 8.8-inch touchscreen alongside keyless entry and ignition, lane-departure warning and forward collision mitigation. Perhaps, one impressive feature of the Encore GX is its healthy suite of technology. Although the 2020 Encore GX comes as FWD as standard, you can pair the optional AWD to either of the trims at a premium of $2000. The GX family starts at $24,100 for the base “Preferred” and rockets all the way up to $28, 500 for the top-tier “Essence”. Interested buyers would get to pick the 2020 Buick Encore GX from its three available trim options. However, with its sharp skills and premium aspirations, the 2020 Buick Encore GX is nothing less than a spine-chiller for the likes of Mazda CX-30, Honda HR-V and Nissan Rogue Sport. Overall, for what it is,it seems nothing less than a new generation Encore. Also the Encore GX is not only more tech-laden but also gains upon its ride and handling skills.
While its two turbocharged 3-cylinder pots promise a good blend of punch and efficiency, its pristine interior layout vouches for its upscale ambitions. The GX is larger, spacious and importantly more eye-catchy than the product it shares its name with. Talk about skills and attributes though and the Encore GX is a very handsome proposition which is far better than the dated Encore. Sharing its platform and componentry with the Chevrolet Trailblazer, the GX tries to slightly sneak in between the Encore and the Envision. Although it is an all-new model but it’s pricing and placement does make it a more polished choice over the regular Encore. With Buick planning to shut down its sedans, the 2020 Encore GX is a vital move for Buick signifying its commitment to strengthen its SUV family.
