The 2024 Buick Encore GX: A Premium Small SUV

The 2024 Buick Encore GX has undergone a redesign, bringing a fresh blend of style, technology, and comfort to Central Illinois drivers. As Buick’s top-selling North American vehicle, the Encore GX now offers enhanced features that make it a standout choice in the small SUV segment (alongside the Chevrolet Trax).

Sleek New Design with Buick’s Signature Style

The 2024 Encore GX introduces Buick’s new tri-shield logo and a forward-leaning front fascia. This design includes a modern grille and signature winged LED headlamps, giving the vehicle a distinctive visual presence. The rear styling features the new Buick logo and typography, along with new LED taillamps standard on ST and Avenir trims. The ST trim also comes with high gloss black front and rear bumpers – ensuring you will be noticed on the way to Decatur!

Interior Innovation: Virtual Cockpit System

Inside, the Encore GX features 19 diagonal inches of high-definition screens under one sheet of glass. This includes an 11-inch diagonal infotainment system—the largest in its segment—and a configurable 8-inch diagonal driver cluster screen, both angled toward the driver for intuitive control. The system supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and wireless phone charging is also available.

The cabin is designed with soft-touch materials and unique stitching patterns. The Avenir trim offers an exclusive Whisper Beige and Jet Black color theme, leather seats, 10-way power driver seat, 8-way power passenger seat, heated steering wheel, air ionizer, rearview auto dim mirror, embroidered Avenir head restraints, and Avenir door sills.

Performance and Efficiency

The 2024 Encore GX offers two turbocharged engine options: a 1.2L engine producing 137 horsepower and a 1.3L engine delivering 155 horsepower. Both engines provide responsive performance, with the 1.3L engine offering greater torque for a more engaging drive. Front-wheel drive models achieve an estimated 30 mpg combined, while all-wheel drive models offer an estimated 27 mpg combined.

Advanced Safety Features

Standard on all trims is the Buick Driver Confidence package, which includes six active safety and driver assistance technologies such as Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, and IntelliBeam auto high-beams. Additional available safety and tech packages include features like Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Rear Camera Mirror.
