2021 Buick Encore GX
Designed to provide room for the whole gang and sleek styling for young and growing families, the 2021 Buick Encore GX is the perfect subcompact SUV. It can be kind of confusing since there is already a Buick Encore, but the Encore GX is a vehicle all its own, not a trim of the original Encore. Buick has given customers who like the original Encore style a little more size and cargo space to fit more while still maintaining great gas mileage. In 2021, this sporty looking five-seater SUV now comes with updated and attractive pricing that makes it more appealing against the competition.
Overview
With comprehensive, modern safety features, tons of room for passengers and cargo, and tons of great tech features, the updated cousin to the standard Buick Encore rolls into the 2021 model year with a more premium look and feel. This sleeker design is more appealing to the younger generation while still maintaining that classic Buick luxury.
The Encore GX brings comfort, reliability, and plenty of options to let you make your own affordable and highly customized SUV. The Encore GX also has trim levels that go from the attractively affordable standard packages to luxurious high-level trims. Buick provides you with three great starting points to get in gear and get behind the wheel of the 2021 Encore GX.
Engines
This subcompact is going to be your best friend when navigating tight roads and parking spaces. While you may not want to ford rivers or climb rocks in it, you still get a lot from this SUV. The jungle you’ll want to be trekking in this SUV is the concrete jungle. Luckily there are still great options available that make driving the Encore GX fun with responsive handling and peppy acceleration. Although the engines are small, neither coming even close to breaking 2.0L, they punch above their weight class.
The Engines
The 2021 Buick Encore GX is available with two 3-cylinder Ecotec engines: the turbocharged 1.2L or the turbocharged 1.3L engine. The 1.2L engine offers up to 137 horsepower, while the slightly larger 1.3L option gives you a moderately boosted edge with 155 horsepower. While there aren’t a large number of engine options to choose from with the Encore GX, both are equipped with turbocharging, meaning that they are stronger than they look and perform well.
The Transmissions
Encore GX models with front-wheel drive are equipped with a continuously variable automatic transmission when loaded with the 1.2L engine option. This transmission is useful in smaller engines for quick and responsive acceleration, though many drivers still prefer a standard automatic transmission. Luckily, the 1.3L engine comes with a 9-speed automatic transmission with front and all-wheel drive options. These work well together with the drivetrain to give you constant and responsive acceleration.
A Lot of Power in a Small Package
Despite the small engine sizes, the 2021 Buick Encore GX has some pep in its step. The turbocharged engine options are great and make the driving experience fun. The Encore GX can certainly take you around town and on the highway with acceleration that makes your driving experience fun and responsive. It will keep you moving forward on long road trips and save you money with unbeatable fuel efficiency.
The fuel economy of the 1.2L engine is around 28 miles per gallon city and 31 miles per gallon highway with the front-wheel drive. Meanwhile, the 1.3L engine with front-wheel drive will get you 30 miles per gallon city and 32 miles per gallon highway, with all-wheel drive getting you 26 miles per gallon city and 29 miles per gallon highway. In a world where saving every dollar counts, this kind of positive fuel economy really helps pay for itself. The 2021 Buick Encore GX will get you further and stretch your gas budget.
