The 2024 Buick Encore GX: New Model, New Engine!
October 20 2023,
Having graced our roads for 11 years, the Buick Encore GX has been a standout in the compact SUV category. Following a significant refresh in 2019, the American manufacturer is making a bold statement for the 2024 model year with a completely redesigned model that features a unique and innovative engine. This latest edition represents a pivotal shift in the vehicle’s evolution, combining modern elegance with cutting-edge technology.
The year 2024 promises spectacular improvements in both design and performance, offering drivers an enhanced and dynamic driving experience. Let's explore the remarkable innovations and the dominant features that set the 2024 Buick Encore GX apart in the competitive SUV market.
An efficient single powertrain
Prior to 2024, the Buick Encore for sale offered the choice of a 1.2L or 1.3L engine. This year, it replaces the 1.2 L engine with its turbo engine.
From now on, in all trim levels, you can rely on a 3-cylinder 1.3 L turbo engine good for 155 hp and 174 lb-ft of torque. Experts agree that this sub-compact SUV has plenty of torque.
What really catches the eye with this engine is its frugal fuel consumption. You can be sure you won’t be emptying your pockets, since the front-wheel drive model consumes 7.8 L/100 km, while the all-wheel drive model consumes 8.8 L/100 km.
As Charles Jolicoeur points out in L'Annuel de l'automobile 2024 :
"The fuel consumption of the Encore GX is a strong suit, averaging under 9 L/100 km, even with all-wheel drive."
Buick Encore prices and trim levels
American manufacturer Buick likes to keep things simple and refined. For the Buick Encore GX, it offers three trim levels, each more relevant than the last:
Trim Levels |
Buick Encore Starting Prices |
$31 749 |

$35 399 |
|
$38 679 |
Needless to say, the Avenir is the most luxurious of all the Buick Encore models. Speaking of all the Encore GX variants, Antoine Joubert, in Le Guide de l'auto 2024 states:
"The latter (Avenir) plays a more classic card with its monochromatic chrome trim, while the ST version is distinguished by its black wheels and inserts. Unlike the base model (Preferred), the ST and Avenir come with all-wheel drive as standard.”
A sumptuous interior
When you take seat in a Buick vehicle, you immediately know that comfort and refinement are at hand. The Buick Encore interior is no exception.
Not only is the interior tastefully designed, but also the materials used are of the highest quality. Luxury is present, and all occupants will enjoy the adventure.
Commenting on the soundproof interior, Charles Jolicoeur says:
"The silence is appreciable, thanks to Buick's highly efficient QuietTuning system. The peace and quiet on board is on a par with, or even better than, what you'll find in some luxury subcompact SUVs, and for the price, you'll be hard pressed to find a more refined SUV in this segment.”
Even more striking will be the combined 19-inch HD color screens (8-inch for the instrument cluster and 11-inch for the infotainment system).
In short, the Buick Encore GX is elegant, luxurious and extremely comfortable.
Towing capacity and cargo volume
You'd think that since this is a small SUV, towing capacity wouldn't be praised and cargo volume rather limited.
Yet with your 2024 Buick Encore GX, you'll be able to tow 1,000 lbs, something that many SUVs in its segment can't do. As for cargo volume, it ranges from 665 L to 1,422 L. This means you can fit in all your weekend groceries.
Onboard technologies
As we all know, Buick Canada never fails to impress when it comes to technology. Let's not forget:
- 7-speaker Bose audio system (optional)
- Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- USB ports front and rear
- 19-inch touchscreens
- Wireless charger
- And much, much more
Last but not least, Buick Encore reviews are glowing and numerous. It's a multi-talented luxury SUV. In the city, it's agile, and on the road, it offers a driving experience that's all about comfort. Its fuel consumption is frugal, and it can count on innovative technologies.
