Compact Size, Premium Experience: A Closer Look at the 2025 Buick Encore GX

The 2025 Buick Encore GX proves that small SUVs can deliver premium experiences without compromise. This compact SUV provides sophisticated technology, refined interior appointments, and the signature Buick attention to detail that drivers throughout Newfoundland and Labrador have come to expect.

Available in three distinct trim levels—Preferred, Sport Touring, and Avenir—the Encore GX allows you to choose the exact level of luxury and performance that fits your lifestyle. Each trim builds thoughtfully on the previous one, adding features and refinements that enhance both daily driving and longer journeys.

Power and Efficiency: ECOTEC 1.3L Turbo Engine

All 2025 Buick Encore GX models feature the same ECOTEC 1.3L Turbo engine as standard equipment. This three-cylinder turbocharged engine delivers the power you need for both city driving and highway merging, while maintaining fuel efficiency that keeps operating costs manageable.

The engine pairs with a 9-speed automatic transmission across all trim levels, providing smooth gear changes and optimized performance. All-wheel drive comes standard on every Encore GX model, ensuring confident handling in various weather conditions common throughout the Atlantic provinces.

Fuel Economy Performance:

• Front-wheel drive models: 8.0 L/100 km city, 7.6 L/100 km highway
• All-wheel drive models: 9.1 L/100 km city, 8.4 L/100 km highway

Trim Comparison: Finding Your Perfect Match

Sport Touring: Athletic Styling Meets Function

The Sport Touring trim transforms the Encore GX's appearance with gloss-black exterior accents that create a more athletic, performance-oriented look. The exclusive 18" high-gloss black painted wheels provide visual impact while maintaining the same performance characteristics as other trims.

Interior details include a flat-bottom steering wheel and ST logo embroidered on the front-seat head restraints. The Sport Touring model includes a power liftgate for convenient cargo access, along with all-wheel drive and Drive Mode Selector functionality that allows you to adapt driving characteristics to road conditions.

The gloss-black treatment extends to the grille, front fascia accents, and rear bumper details, creating a cohesive design theme that stands out from the more traditional Preferred model.

Avenir: Premium Luxury in Compact Form

The Avenir trim represents the highest expression of Buick luxury in the Encore GX lineup. This top-tier model includes leather-trimmed front seats with Avenir logo embroidery on the head restraints, along with power-adjustable seating that includes 2-way power lumbar support.

Exterior refinements include the exclusive Avenir grille design and 19" aluminum wheels with Pearl Nickel finish. Bright chrome accents on the front fascia provide a more upscale appearance that distinguishes Avenir models from other trim levels.

The hands-free power liftgate allows you to open the cargo area with a foot motion under the rear bumper—particularly useful when carrying packages or groceries. Dual-zone automatic climate control with Piano Black control keys provides individual temperature settings for driver and passenger.

Interior Space and Versatility

Despite its compact exterior dimensions, the Encore GX maximizes interior space through thoughtful design. Seating accommodates up to five passengers, with flexible cargo arrangements that adapt to your hauling needs.

Cargo Capacity:

• Maximum cargo space: 1,421 litres with rear seats folded
• 40/60 split-folding rear seats for long item accommodation
• Flat-folding front passenger seat extends cargo length
• Reconfigurable cargo floor provides additional organization options

The available panoramic moonroof (available on higher trims) opens up the interior space visually and provides natural light that makes the cabin feel larger than its actual dimensions.

Technology and Connectivity Features

The Encore GX includes an 11-inch diagonal ultrawide infotainment display that serves as the central hub for navigation, audio, and vehicle settings. Wireless smartphone integration allows you to connect compatible devices without cables, while the available wireless charging pad keeps devices powered during your journey.

Buick Driver Confidence comes standard across all trim levels, providing six advanced safety and driver assistance features including Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, and Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning.

Remote Start comes standard on all models, allowing you to pre-condition the cabin temperature before entering the vehicle—a valuable feature during Newfoundland's variable weather conditions.

Quiet Comfort: QuietTuning Technology

Buick's signature QuietTuning technology includes Active Noise Cancellation that helps prevent unwanted road noise from entering the cabin. This system works continuously to monitor and counteract external sounds, creating a more peaceful interior environment for conversation and audio enjoyment.

The available Bose Premium Audio system (available on higher trims) includes seven speakers positioned throughout the cabin for crisp, clear sound reproduction at any volume level.
