A subcompact crossover is a great way to get extra practicality from your daily driver while retaining city-friendly maneuverability. The 2024 Buick Encore GX is an appealing option in the segment, offering a refined driving experience without the premium price tag. It boasts classy accommodations, sophisticated styling, and impressive passenger and cargo space. A recent midcycle refresh makes Buick's smallest SUV even better, with an overhauled trim roster, more standard features, and a sharp new look. The 2024 Encore GX is available for sale or lease through Ciocca Chevrolet Buick GMC of Flemington. Here's a quick look at some of the highlights.
Performance
The Encore GX's base trim (Preferred) is propelled by an efficient 1.2-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine, sending 137 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque to the front wheels via a smartly-tuned CVT. Sport Touring and Avenir models get a performance boost from a 1.3-liter turbo-three, increasing output to 155 horsepower and 174 pound-feet of torque.
Are you seeking more surefooted handling for wintry Bridgewater travels? A selectable all-wheel-drive system is available for all Encore GX models and comes bundled with a nine-speed automatic transmission. Adding all-wheel drive to the base trim also equips the upgraded 1.3-liter engine.
Refinement and Practicality
The Buick Encore GX is impressively accommodating despite its small size. The classy cabin features refined design details, quality materials, and ample room for passengers in either row. Somerville shoppers can further enhance their experience with amenities like heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, dual-zone automatic climate control, a panoramic sunroof, and leatherette or leather upholstery.
The Encore GX reserves 23.5 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second, with an available hands-free liftgate providing convenient storage access, even with your arms full. When you need more capacity for an outing or errand, the rear seats fold easily to reveal 50.2 cubic feet. A fold-flat front-passenger seat is available for base models and standard in higher trims, giving you space for items up to eight feet long.
Infotainment and Driver-Assist Technology
The 2024 Encore GX trades its old 8-inch touchscreen for an attractive 11-inch high-res display. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto now work wirelessly, providing clutter-free smartphone integration. The refreshed Encore GX also adds a new digital instrument panel, allowing you to configure the gauge cluster to fit your viewing preferences. And if you select the all-new Avenir trim, you'll get three years of in-vehicle Wi-Fi hotspot data.
While there's no replacement for attentive driving, it's nice to know you have support to help mitigate the unexpected. The 2024 Encore GX includes an expanded Buick Driver Confidence package with more standard safety technologies. So, no matter what trim you select for your Hillsborough commute, you'll get advanced driver aids like:
- Forward Collision Alert
- Automatic Emergency Braking
- Front Pedestrian Braking
- Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
- Following Distance Indicator
- IntelliBeam auto high beam assist
