If you are in the market for a new sub-compact SUV, you have probably noticed that Buick has two models to offer in this popular category. Since it can be difficult to choose between the Encore GX and the Envista, here is a summary of both model’s strong points:
2024 Buick Encore GX
The 2024 Encore GX is the smallest model in Buick’s all-SUV lineup, making it a great choice for those who prefer sub-compact vehicles. Despite its size, it offers a cargo-friendly interior, providing ample space for your belongings and your passengers. When it comes to comfort, the Encore GX doesn’t disappoint since it offers a comfortable ride and the Buick QuietTuning noise-cancelling technology, ensuring that both the driver and passengers enjoy the journey. Under the hood, the 2024 Buick Encore GX comes standard with a 1.3L turbocharged three-cylinder engine that generates 155 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque, paired with a CVT transmission and front-wheel drive as standard, or a 9-speed automatic and all-wheel drive in most models.
2024 Buick Envista
The 2024 Buick Envista is an all-new nameplate for Buick, offering a fresh and modern design. It stands out from the Encore GX with its lower roofline and sleeker design that gives is a more dynamic appearance. Another difference from the Encore GX is found under the hood, as the Envista comes with a different 1.2L turbocharged three-cylinder engine that delivers 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque to the front wheels exclusively, via a six-speed automatic transmission. One of the biggest advantages of the Envista is its affordability. Despite its high-end appearance and smooth, quiet ride, it comes with a surprisingly low price tag, making it a great value for money, even when compared with sub-compact SUVs sold by non-premium brands.
A great choice, no matter which one you buy
Despite these differences, the 2024 Buick Envista and Encore GX have a lot in common, including their upscale appearance and a very modern interior that features a new-for-2024 twin-screen digital dashboard which includes an 11-inch touchscreen for the infotainment system and an 8-inch instrument cluster. In addition, both models feature the Buick QuietTuning system that reduces levels of engine and road noise, a heated steering wheel, remote start, a long list of driver assistance features, and an advanced infotainment system that includes wireless capabilities for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as native support for Google Maps.
Conclusion
As you can see, there is no bad choice between the 2024 Buick Encore GX and the Envista. If you need more interior space, all-wheel drive, and more engine power, the Encore GX will be the better choice for you. If, instead, you prefer a more stylish vehicle that is also more affordable and just as well-equipped, the 2024 Buick Envista is likely to be your best choice.
