So Many Choices

Buyers of the Encore will appreciate that they have three trim choices to ensure their new SUV meets their needs and budget while delivering on comfort and driving enjoyment. The Preferred provides a distinctive and eye-catching appearance in each of the six vibrant exterior colors. The Sport Touring has a bit more of an athletic stance and track-ready appearance. The Avenir is the full premium package with all the luxuries.

The Creature Comforts Abound

Typically, small SUVs are a bit more sparse than the average luxury model. However, the Encore has shattered that expectation with features like a hands-free liftgate, power panoramic moonroof, and supple leather seating options, allowing you to select what means the most to you.

Complete Functionality

With ample seating for five, the Encore provides the feeling of a larger vehicle while still being nimble and easy to navigate in small spaces. In addition, it overshadows the larger Cadillac XT4 when accommodating luggage. It can handle five carry-on bags when the seats are filled and up to 16 when there are passengers only in the front seats.

What We Like About The New 2026 Buick Encore GX


Cost-Effective Luxury

All the functionality and capability of the Encore GX comes from the standard 1.2L ECOTEC Turbo 3-cylinder engine that produces 137 horsepower and can reach 30 miles per gallon or more based on the driving location. The 1.3L version of the engine increases the power to 155 horsepower and reduces the fuel efficiency by only around a mile per gallon. For a small SUV with a base price of less than $30K, buyers get a great many choices and features for a very reasonable price.

Safety Is The Priority In Your 2026 Buick Encore GX

Drivers love that their new Encore is loaded with safety features that are often costly extras in vehicles with a much larger price tag. The driver assist features increase safety with less stress and distraction while allowing the driver to relax and enjoy a more relaxing adventure. The automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, front pedestrian braking, forward collision alert, lane keeping assistance, and rearview camera mirror are all standard features on each model of the Encore. Buyers also have the option to increase the number of safety features by including selections like adaptive cruise control, a 360-degree camera, and other driver assist features that could apply to their driving style and needs.
