If you are looking for a new sub-compact SUV, you might have noticed the refreshed 2024 Buick Encore GX, an interesting model that offers premium looks and features for the same price as a few mainstream competitors. Here are some of the reasons why you should put it at the top of your list.
A modern style
The Buick Encore GX has been extensively refreshed for the 2024 model year and it now benefits from a new front end and a more technologically advanced interior. Starting with the exterior, the 2024 Buick Encore GX adopts the brand’s new design language that was first shown on concept cars about two years ago. This means the headlamps are separated in two units, with the running lights and turn signals forming an inverted checkmark at the edge of the hood and the actual low and high beam lights being positioned lower down the fascia. The new grille is also representative of the new Buick image, and all three trim levels feature a specific texture, with black mesh in the dynamic Sport Touring and chrome dots in the luxurious Avenir.
Inside, the 2024 Buick Encore GX follows the same trend as all new GM vehicles unveiled in the last year or two, which means that its dashboard adopts a much more technological look by integrating its digital instrument cluster and infotainment screen in a single curved panel on top of the instrument panel.
A host of desirable features
The 2024 Buick Encore GX has a lot to offer, both as standard and optionally, which means it is a great value on the sub-compact SUV market. For example, the entry-level Encore GX comes standard with heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, heated side mirrors, automatic headlamps and high beams, remote start, 18-inch silver alloy wheels, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane keeping assist, following distance indicator, an 11-inch touchscreen, an 8-way power driver’s seat, 3-years of OnStar connected services, an 8-inch digital driver information screen, an auxiliary electric heater, keyless entry and start, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Wi-Fi hotspot capability, and the Buick Quiettuning technology, which includes an acoustic laminated windshield and active noise cancellation, among others.
Choosing the Sport Touring or Avenir models can add features such as unique 18 or 19-inch wheels, roof rails, a hands-free power liftgate, clear LED taillamps, automatic wipers, a Bose premium sound system, a surround-view monitor, rear parking assist, adaptive cruise control, rain-sensing wipers, wireless device charging, a rear camera mirror, a panoramic sunroof, memory positions for the driver’s seat, leather upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, a universal home remote transmitter, and a power passenger seat.
A modern drivetrain
The 2024 Buick Encore GX retains only one engine this year instead of the two offered previously, but this results in a higher standard output. Indeed, all 2024 Encore GX models are powered by a 1.3L turbocharged three-cylinder engine that delivers 155 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque to either the front wheels or all of the wheels via the AWD system, which is available on Preferred grade models and standard on the others. When ordered with front-wheel drive, this engine is paired with a CVT transmission and when ordered with AWD, it teams up with a 9-speed automatic unit. These powertrains make for a low fuel consumption rating of only 7.6 L/100 km or 8.4 L/100 km on the highway respectively.
