2020 Buick Encore GX Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
I absolutely love this SUV. The drive is great, and the vehicle has much more power than I anticipated. Its an SUV, but you get sports car vibes when driving. I was apprehensive about Buick, but have been nothing but blown away and impressed. I would buy this SUV again and recommend to anyone who doesnt require a Large SUV. 5*
May 9, 2022The 2020 Buick Encore GX Essence trim is a premium vehicle. The creature comforts include adjustable heated leather seating, a heated steering wheel, and dual zone climate control. The factory sound system is decent although not superior. The safety technology is more than adequate but is missing dynamic cruise control as a standard feature. It is available as part of the $ 2400 advanced technology option package. All this aside, I was duly impressed with the 1.3L turbo charged three cylinder engine which provides more than enough power in town and on the highway. Plus, the mileage was most impressive at 37mpg over a 50 mile trip. Visibility was excellent looking forward and on the sides however the back window is little small. The blind spot monitor did an excellent job of picking up and reporting cars in my blind zones. Additionally, the Buick Quiet Tuning noticeably reduced wind and road noise. The noise level hovered in the low to mid 60s db range while driving at highway speeds which makes for a more pleasing driving experience. Overall, I am very satisfied with my Buick Encore GX Essence trim. The premium feel in the cabin, ease of driving and quiet tuning all make for a most rewarding driving experience.
September 5, 2022I found this car for a good price and with all of the features that I was particularly looking for. This included automatic lift for rear door, the color black and a sunroof. The car has additional features such as automatic wipers and head beams with heated seats and steering wheel.
