Your journey starts with the turn of the ignition and the rev of the motor. The Encore GX has two different motors to choose from. This includes the available ECOTEC 1.3L Turbo engine, which generates 155 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque. This power makes the Encore GX capable of towing up to 1,000 pounds when properly equipped, so you can bring along your small camper of supplies with ease.

The standard Continuous Variable Transmission system makes merging onto the highway easier than ever. Its constant micro-adjustments ensure that the engine’s power is optimized for a smooth and seamless drive. When combined with the available all-wheel drivetrain, you’ll have a smooth-riding vehicle with excellent command of the road.

Once you’re out on the highway starting your vacation, you’ll want to get there as soon as possible. That means making fewer pit stops along the way, which calls for efficient engineering. Every driver can get behind maximizing their fuel tank, and the Encore GX gets the job done.

When properly equipped, the Encore GX achieves 30 city/31 highway MPG. This excellent efficiency lets you pass by the gas station confidently, saving time and money in the long run. You’ll be ready to go farther and enjoy more time behind the wheel.

Inside the cabin, you’ll be greeted by an array of forward-thinking design elements. The available leather-appointed seat trim, for example, gives off a premium vibe with a softness that caters to your comfort. The available 8-way power driver’s seat with heat and ventilation only adds to that driver-centric theme.

There’s plenty of space for your cargo as well. The standard area behind the rear seats measures 23.5 cubic feet for your everyday needs. When you fold down the second row, you’ll have 50.2 cubic feet of space to use as needed.

When people get a first impression, it often comes with a first look. The outside of your vehicle should, therefore, be vibrant and eye-catching while maintaining your style. The Encore GX has eight different paint finishes to choose from, and each adds a striking aura to your drive. Choose from bold colors such as:

• Sunrise Red
• Ocean Blue
• Ebony Twilight
• Cinnabar
• Copper Ice
• White Frost

Once you take your seat, you’ll be within arm’s reach of all sorts of entertaining features. The 11-inch touchscreen offers a wide view of your apps, music, messages, and more, and standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ support makes staying connected easier. You can even link up to the cloud to check your inbox or have passengers stream their favorite media with the standard Wi-Fi hotspot.

The high-tech features extend beyond the screen. You can conveniently keep your phone battery at 100% with the available wireless device charger. If you’re into top-quality audio, the available Bose® premium audio system uses seven speakers throughout the cabin to deliver concert-quality sound.

Modern advancements have made driving safer than ever thanks to driver-assistive technologies. The Buick Encore GX includes a wide variety of standard systems to keep an eye out for you while you’re on the road. They’ll give you an advantage in case the unexpected happens. Among them are:

• Automatic Emergency Braking
• Forward Collision Alert
• Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert
• Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning

The available HD Surround Vision system gives you even more situational awareness. It provides different selectable angles to see what’s outside your vehicle, which can help avoid potential obstacles when it’s time to park.
