2024 Buick Encore GX Specs, Price, Features, Mileage and Review
The 2024 Encore GX has a lot of responsibility as the smallest model in Buick’s all-SUV portfolio on its small shoulders. Its job is to entice younger customers to the brand, but when parked next to Audis, BMWs, and Volvos, it’s difficult to sell them on its premium-but-not-quite-luxury appearance and feel. Although it is less expensive than SUVs from major brands, its appeal is far less. The Encore GX is a more legitimate competitor to entries from Honda, Kia, and Toyota in that regard. However, those who take a chance on it will discover a similar level of amenities as well as mainstream interior material quality and underwhelming, turbocharged three-cylinder powertrains. Although the handling is dreadfully dull, the brand ethos of Buick excludes backroad thrills. The Encore GX rides smoothly and has a quiet cabin that is effectively shielded from outside noise, which is what we consider to be this SUV’s most opulent feature.
What has changed for 2024?
For 2024, the Encore GX receives a style upgrade that includes new front and rear bumpers, a revised grille, and sharper exterior lighting components. New wheel designs and the addition of the redesigned Tri-Shield logo on the nose and tail are also part of the revamp. The interior of the Encore GX has been upgraded, and one of the modifications is a new 19-inch digital dashboard with an 11.0-inch infotainment touchscreen and an 8.0-inch gauge display. A wireless smartphone charging pad is an additional option in addition to wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Sport Touring variant, which sports black aluminum wheels, a gloss-black mesh grille, and a flat-bottomed steering wheel, has taken the place of the mid-range Select trim. The Avenir trim, which further gussies up the Encore GX with particular exterior finishings, has taken the place of the top-tier Essence trim on the Encore GX. With leather upholstery, a 10-way power driver’s seat, an air ionizer, and embroidered headrests with the Avenir emblem, the Avenir also has a more opulent interior.

Conclusion
In conclusion, the 2024 Buick Encore GX will have to compete fiercely with luxury brands like Audi, BMW, and Volvo in order to win over a younger demographic of consumers to the Buick brand. Even while it is less expensive than many luxury SUVs, it might not have the same level of upscale appeal. Instead, it is in direct opposition to cars made by Kia, Honda, and Toyota. The Encore GX offers a respectable selection of features, commonplace interior materials, and unimpressive turbocharged three-cylinder engines. Although its handling lacks thrill, it is consistent with Buick’s preference for comfort over sportiness. One of its most opulent qualities is its silent cabin, which effectively shields passengers from outside noise. This vehicle also stands out for its smooth ride.
