The Buick Encore GX is a 5-door SUV from Buick, built from 2019 to 2025, as electrification stopped being an experiment and the crossover took every market. Under the bonnet: Petrol engine. Design Leadership (2020): Ryan Vaughan & Roberto Rempel / Design Leadership: (2024): Bob Boniface, Hun-gil Lee drew it.

The background

The Buick Encore GX is a subcompact crossover SUV built by General Motors starting in 2019. Like the smaller Encore and the related Chevrolet Trailblazer, the Encore GX is manufactured by GM Korea. In China, it is manufactured by the SAIC-GM joint venture.

The engineering

Power comes from Petrol engine; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. It shifts through a 9-speed Automatic transmission / automatic (AWD) / Continuously variable transmission / CVT (FWD). The wheelbase is 2595 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.

Where it sits

Its family tree is legible: assembly was at Bupyeong District. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Porsche Taycan, the Tesla Model Y, the Tesla Model 3 — show what else the money bought that year. Its Buick stablemates include the Buick First Call and the Buick Funeral Car.

What it costs now

The money question first: $16,300–$35,800 is the typical asking range today, and running it — fuel and maintenance at its age — costs about $2,835–$4,120 a year. Insurance sits around $1,410–$2,340 a year. The figures are class-level estimates from the federal record, with the formula on the methodology page; the model-year pages carry complaints, recalls and repair costs year by year.
