WHAT IS THE 2020 BUICK ENCORE GX?

Among Buick’s lineup, drivers have the choice of a subcompact, midsize, and full-size SUV. The Buick Encore GX is designed to fill in a “subcompact-plus” SUV role among the lineup to give drivers a comfortable blend of maneuverability and utility.

This SUV is looking to be a bit more spacious than the regular Buick Encore. Drivers can expect an expanded cargo area with an extra five cubic feet of space in the back. Overall, drivers can expect a vehicle that’s going to give them a good amount of versatility with a dash of luxury thrown into the mix.

SubCompact SUV

Subcompact SUVs are a new vehicle category designed to give SUV lovers the roomy interior space you need along with a smaller, nimbler frame of a compact ride.

They feature a high-seating position that helps you have an enhanced view of the road. You’ll also be treated to a flexible and roomy cargo space so that you can fit bags, luggage, and larger purchases with ease. Plus, due to the smaller size of these SUVs, you can also expect better fuel efficiency for an uninterrupted drive that has you cruising past the gas station.

So, is a subcompact SUV right for you? That depends on your personal wants and needs when it comes to your next vehicle.

2020 Encore Gx Performance Specs

Drivers will have some choices when it comes to engine power aboard the Buick Encore GX. This SUV is designed with a standard 1.2-liter ECOTEC turbo engine giving out up to 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque for a sleeker drive.

Drivers eager to experience a bit more of a sporty experience have the option to equip the vehicle with a 1.3-liter ECOTEC turbo engine, which will bump the horsepower up to 155, as well as deliver 174 lb-ft of torque. Overall, if you’re looking for a ride that’ll be fun to take around the city, this vehicle has you covered.

In addition to having a couple powertrain options, you can further customize your performance with a number of drivetrain options. Drivers using the standard front-wheel drive system will make use of a continuously variable transmission. This system uses a belt and pully system to create a spectrum of gear ratios.

Drivers who want to upgrade to the available all-wheel drive (AWD) system will be provided with a 9-speed automatic transmission. This transmission offers plenty of gears, so you still enjoy a good distribution of engine power while having some solid traction. With AWD, you’ll also earn an EPA-estimated 26 MPG city and 29 MPG highway for an uninterrupted and smooth ride wherever you roam.

Despite the sleeker frame of this subcompact SUV, the 2020 Buick Encore GX offers ample interior space for five passengers with the following cabin measurements…

In addition to having plenty of space to stretch out, the Encore GX provides 23.5 cubic feet of cargo room to stash groceries and shopping bags. A flexible cabin makes way for extra cargo space when needed, as well. Simply configure the rear seat to meet your needs or fold it flat to gain over 50 cubic feet of cargo room.

Loading up and hitting the road will be easy in this SUV with an available hands-free power liftgate. It opens with a simple wave of your foot under the bumper, so there’s no need to put your luggage down—just toss them in the back and be on your way.

Encore Gx’s Stylish Interior

The interior of the 2020 Buick Encore GX is designed to delight the eyes at every turn. Cloth seating with a sleek leatherette trim comes standard, but you also have a few upholstery options to help flex your personal style. For the ultimate in luxury, upgrade to Ebony leather seats with matching Ebony interior accents.

An in-vehicle air ionizer keeps your premium cabin clean by ionizing particles in the air. They are then attracted to the surfaces nearby for easier removable and clean, fresh air throughout your commute.

In addition to being pleasing to the eye, the interior of the Encore GX is built for comfort. A 10-way power driver seat with power lumbar is available to keep you supported and cozy as you jet around town. Available heated front seats are another amenity working to combat winter weather conditions and keep you comfortable and enjoying being behind the wheel more.
