The 2022 Buick Encore GX, stepping up from the standard Encore, presents itself as a compact yet luxurious SUV. Available in three trim levels - Preferred, Select, and Essence, it offers two turbocharged 3-cylinder engine options: a 137-hp 1.2L and a 155-hp 1.3L, both paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission. The 1.3L engine can come with AWD on certain trims. With a standard 8" infotainment display, it offers features like Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and available Amazon Alexa. The Encore GX's suite of safety features is expansive, encompassing standard automatic emergency braking, available lane-keeping assist and Blind-spot monitoring. A highlight for 2022 is the newly standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality.
