What You Will Like

The Buick Encore GX competes with other small SUV/crossovers in the market. It offers buyers an appealing blend of small size, luxury and SUV-like practicality. All-wheel drive is available, but the Buick is less about off-roading and more about all-weather driving in comfort. Luxury-oriented touches abound that usually are reserved for cars costing much more. The Encore GX is a great value, with touches of luxury and an array of technology and safety features. This small SUV comes with generous cargo space and a folding flat passenger seat to carry larger items. In the premium luxury market of small SUVs, Encore GX is priced lower that some competitor such as the BMW X2 and Lexus UX. Other rivals in the market are Kia Seltos, Mazda CX-30 and Hyundai Kona.
