2020 Buick Encore GX Select

The Encore GX is Buick's subcompact SUV, a bit larger than the regular Encore and aimed at buyers who want a small crossover with a bit more room. It's easy to drive around town, with light steering and a suspension that soaks up bumps well, though it's not what you'd call sporty. The cabin feels upscale for the class, with soft-touch materials and a clean layout, and the rear seats offer decent space for adults. Cargo space is generous for a subcompact, and the low load floor makes it easy to haul groceries or luggage. The Select trim is the one to pick if you want the standard 1.2L engine and front-wheel drive but still want heated seats and a leather-wrapped wheel, which the Preferred trim skips. The Select comes standard with the two-level cargo load floor, which lets you hide valuables or create a flat load surface when the rear seats are folded.
