2023 Buick Encore GX

Car buyers can find the 2023 Encore GX in three trim levels: Preferred, Select, and Essence. If you opt for the entry-level Preferred trim you get aluminum wheels and LED fog lights. Up next is the Select trim level, which features roof-mounted side rails. The top-of-the-line Essence trim level finishes things off with LED headlights and taillights. Consider enhancing the Encore GX with the Sport Touring Package if you're interested in a black roof and an eye-catching front grille.

This 2023 Buick SUV is available with two engine options. The first is a 1.2-liter turbocharged inline-three engine that produces 137 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque. If this isn't enough power for you, upgrade to the 1.3-liter turbocharged inline-three engine, which produces 155 horsepower and 174 pound-feet of torque.

Front-wheel drive is the standard setup for the 2023 Encore GX. When equipped with front-wheel drive, the Buick SUV comes with a continuously variable automatic transmission. All-wheel drive may be more attractive to you if you live in a cold climate or you drive on dirty roads often. All-wheel drive offers a stronger grip to the surface below, no matter the terrain. The 2023 Encore GX is available with an all-wheel drive as an upgrade. If you choose this upgrade, the vehicle also comes with a nine-speed automatic transmission.

Are you seeking an SUV with modern and innovative infotainment? If you are, you can enjoy the standard 8-inch touchscreen that comes with the 2023 Encore GX. This display is compatible with a six-speaker audio system, Bluetooth connectivity, satellite radio, and two USB ports.

Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay also come standard and allow users to connect their smartphone to the Encore GX to stream their saved music and podcasts and use voice commands to make hands-free phone calls and send text messages. If this isn't enough infotainment for you, think about upgrading the SUV with a seven-speaker Bose audio system, HD Radio, wireless device charging, and built-in navigation.

Up to five can get around in this two-row SUV. Passengers in the front seat get 40.9 inches of legroom, while those in the backseat receive 36 inches of legroom. To add, the Encore GX features 23.5 cubic feet of cargo capacity behind the second row of seats, or 50.2 cubic feet of cargo space if you fold down the second row of seats.

Buick designed the 2023 Encore GX with reassuring safety in mind. That is why the SUV comes standard with a following-distance indicator, lane-keep assist, lane-departure warning, automatic high-beam headlights, and forward automatic emergency braking. Forward collision warning with pedestrian detection is also standard and sets off an alert if the vehicle's sensors identify a vehicle, obstacle, or pedestrian in its path. Teen Driver also comes standard and allows parents to set volume and speed limits for secondary drivers. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gave the 2023 Buick Encore GX a five-star overall safety rating.
