In the growing market of small premium SUVs, the 2023 Buick Encore GX stands out as an appealing blend of style, luxury, and utility. As an entry from GM’s near-luxury Buick brand, the Encore GX punches above its weight class while carrying a relatively affordable price tag. Let’s explore the key features that make the Encore GX a compelling choice at your Buick dealership.
1. Powerful Engine Options
Under the hood, the 2023 Encore GX offers two punchy turbocharged 3-cylinder engines to choose from. The base 1.2-liter turbo generates 137 horsepower, providing adequate motivation for commuting and around-town driving.
Drivers who want more responsive performance can opt for the upgraded 1.3-liter turbocharged unit, which bumps output to 155 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque. When paired with the smooth-shifting 9-speed automatic transmission on AWD models, the 1.3-liter turbo helps the Encore GX feel sporty and quick on its feet.
2. Spacious and Luxurious Interior
Don’t let its small interior fool you. The 2023 Encore GX’s interior offers excellent passenger and cargo space for the compact SUV class. Clever packaging makes the most of the interior dimensions to provide comfortable seating for five adults, along with 50 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats.
The cabin boasts upscale amenities like leather seat surfaces, a heated steering wheel, and dual-zone automatic climate control. Extras like the fold-flat front passenger seat also increase versatility for hauling longer items when needed.
3. Advanced Infotainment System
Connecting to your smartphone on the go is a breeze thanks to its 8-inch touchscreen interface with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot. Upgrading to the available onboard navigation system and heads-up display further enhances the user experience, allowing the driver to keep their eyes on the road. The Encore GX also supports wireless charging for added convenience.
4. High Fuel Efficiency
The 2023 Encore GX proves you don’t have to sacrifice fuel economy for power and luxury. The 1.3-liter turbocharged engine with front-wheel drive achieves up to 32 mpg on the highway. Adding the all-wheel drive train only slightly reduces the efficiency to a respectable 29 mpg on the highway. Given the Encore GX’s combination of performance and AWD capabilities, the fuel economy is quite compelling compared to its rivals.
5. Advanced Safety Technologies
Along with interior comforts, the 2023 Encore GX comes equipped with cutting-edge driver assistance and accident-avoidance technologies. Standard features include automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, and automatic high-beam headlights. Available extras like adaptive cruise control, surround-view cameras, and a self-parking system provide added peace of mind.
The Encore GX delivers style, comfort, and driving enjoyment at an affordable price tag. Stop by Sisbarro Buick GMC to take the 2023 Encore GX on a test drive and experience these features firsthand.
