2025 Buick Encore GX Preferred

The 2025 Encore GX is Buick's subcompact crossover, slotting below the Envista and Envision in size and price. It competes with the Chevrolet Trailblazer, Kia Seltos, and Hyundai Kona in the small-SUV segment. The Encore GX rides smoothly and steers easily, making it a relaxed companion for city errands and highway trips. Inside, the cabin feels upscale for the class, with comfortable seats and a practical amount of cargo space. A standard touchscreen infotainment system includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto across trims. The Preferred is the base trim, sitting below the Sport Touring and Avenir, so you skip some luxuries but keep the essentials. With the AWD setup, expect 27 mpg combined and a composed ride, though the base trim's cloth seats and manual adjustments are part of the deal.
