The Buick Encore GX is a subcompact crossover SUV built by General Motors starting in 2019. Like the smaller Buick Encore, the Encore GX will be assembled by GM Korea.^[1]

Overview

The Buick Encore GX was revealed alongside the second generation Buick Encore at the 2019 Shanghai Auto Show.^[2] It shares the VSS-F platform with the new Chevrolet Trailblazer crossover SUV.

North America

In North America, the Encore GX was introduced at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November 2019, and will make its debut in early 2020 for the 2020 model year. It will slot in between the smaller Buick Encore and the midsize Buick Envision, but will not replace the Buick Encore in that market.^[3] The Encore GX will include several standard safety assistance features, such as automatic emergency braking, forward collision alert, and lane departure warning.

The Encore GX will launch in three trims: Preferred, Select, and Essence^[4]. It also gets a Sport Touring package that adds visual enhancements such as a custom grille with Red accents, sporty front & rear bumpers with Red accents, body-colored moldings, and exclusive 18-inch wheels, but no mechanical upgrades.^[5]

Two engines will be available. The first, a 1.2-liter, turbocharged 3-cylinder engine producing 137 hp (102 kW) and 166 lb⋅ft (225 N⋅m) torque, is standard on front-wheel-drive models with a CVT. The second, a 1.3-liter, turbocharged 3-cylinder engine producing 155 hp (116 kW) and 174 lb⋅ft (236 N⋅m) torque, is standard on all-wheel-drive models with a 9-speed automatic transmission. It is also available on Select and Essence trims with FWD. While the new I3 engine is offered with several GM models in China, it will be the first I3 in a GM car in North America since the Geo/Chevrolet Metro.
