The 2025 Buick Encore GX strikes an appealing balance between mainstream practicality and near-luxury refinement. This subcompact SUV welcomes drivers with a tranquil cabin featuring interior materials that outshine most mainstream competitors, especially in the top Avenir trim. It delivers excellent value, responsive infotainment technology, and surprisingly spacious cargo capacity for its compact footprint. The driving experience prioritizes comfort and serenity over sporty handling, delivering the quiet, composed ride Buick is known for. For shoppers seeking an affordable daily driver with upscale touches and a refined driving experience, leasing the Encore GX offers a compelling step up from standard offerings.
Engine and Transmission
The 2025 Encore GX has two turbocharged three-cylinder engine options: a 1.2-liter that delivers 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque and a 1.3-liter offering a stronger 155 horsepower and 174 lb-ft. Front-wheel drive versions have a CVT, while all-wheel drive models feature a responsive nine-speed automatic transmission. The AWD Encore GX Avenir, powered by the 1.3-liter engine, hits 0-60 mph in 8.8 seconds. It feels lively in city driving, thanks to its easily accessible low-end torque. The ride is smooth and composed, leaning more toward comfort than sporty handling.
Fuel Economy
Interestingly, the EPA awards the larger of the two three-cylinder engines the best fuel efficiency. The 1.3-liter turbocharged engine delivers up to 31 mpg on the highway when equipped with front-wheel drive and a CVT. Choosing the smaller 1.2-liter engine reduces the highway figure slightly to 30 mpg. Meanwhile, the 1.3-liter engine paired with all-wheel drive and a nine-speed automatic earns a 29 mpg highway rating.
Interior and Tech
The 2025 Encore GX effortlessly blends everyday practicality with upscale touches. Its main highlights are the sleek curved display that integrates an 11-inch touchscreen for infotainment and an 8.0-inch digital gauge cluster. The user-friendly setup includes wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot for added convenience. On the practical side, the front passenger seat has an innovative folding design to handle longer items, while the cargo space comfortably holds five carry-on bags behind the rear seats.
