Buick Encore GX Performance

The 2020 Buick Encore GX offers two impressive engines: an ECOTEC 1.2L Turbo engine and an ECOTEC 1.3L Turbo engine. With the 1.2L, you can expect an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 26 city / 30 highway MPG.

These kinds of ratings are due in part to the standard Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT), which works without traditional gear ratios. Without these traditional gear ratios, this transmission can make them up on the fly and conserve as much fuel as possible in the process.

If you want a bit more pep in your step, opt for the ECOTEC 1.3L engine, which makes an exciting 155 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque. Pair this power with the available all-wheel drive system and you’ll easily be able to take the fun off the pavement.

Cabin Comfort & Convenience

Inside the cabin of the 2020 Buick Encore GX, you’ll have five spacious seats. Passengers will have plenty of room to spread out in every seat with nearly 41 inches of front-seat legroom and 36 inches of rear-seat legroom.

The Buick Encore GX doesn’t stop there, though. You’ll also get premium available comfort options, like heated front seats, a leather-wrapped heated steering wheel, and dual-zone climate control. Plus, you’ll get to enjoy the views of the world around you with the available panoramic power moonroof.

The cargo capabilities of the Encore GX are innovative, so you can make the most of every inch of your 50.2 total cubic feet of cargo space. All three of the rear seats fold down in 40/60 split fashion, and the front passenger’s seat can be folded as well to accommodate long cargo items.

Additionally, the sturdiness of the vehicle allows large cargo items to be carted on the roof. Strap two kayaks or a cargo holder full of suitcases so you don’t need to worry about giving up passenger space.

Tech That’s Ready for Anything

The 2020 Buick GX is as tech-savvy as it is comfort-savvy. For starters, you’ll get an intuitive touchscreen infotainment system with Bluetooth®, smartphone integration, available navigation, and more. This system also offers available Amazon Alexa™ integration—interact with her via voice commands to order groceries, find gas stations along your route, and even interact with the smart devices in your home.

This is just the tip of the tech iceberg in this model, though. For added convenience, you’ll also have access to available wireless smartphone charging, a built-in 4G LTE Wi-Fi® Hotspot, and a Rear Camera Mirror. The latter feature turns the surface of the rearview mirror into a screen that displays a live video feed of what’s going on behind you.

In addition to this handy mirror, you’ll get an array of other helpful active safety features that will maximize your awareness of the road around you. Just a few that you can opt for include Forward Collision Alert with Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, and High Definition Surround Vision.
