I've only had the GX for a few weeks, but I'm loving it so far. I have the AWD essence trim and love the interior that comes with this package (leather seats vs the cloth in the opening trims). It has the performance I need for standard city and highway driving and offers a very nice interior and exterior. The only knock I have so far is that the wireless charging isn't compatible with all phones, but everything else is great. I would definitely recommend this for someone who wants an entry luxury car for a great value.…
Buick Encore GX Is the best vehicle I’ve owned

This is my first Buick and my first SUV and I feel like I really found a gem. I have the Select model and I think if I far provides the best value. It has a smooth ride, is very good on gas mileage, and has one of the most upscale looks that outmatch other SUVs that cost thousands more. I love this encore GX!…
This car way exceeded my expectations

I have a 2016 Escalade that’s in perfect shape but was losing value from my 700 miles per week. I needed something that I could drive daily and save my Escalade from being traded. The Encore GX ST stood out among the regular Encores. I drove it home right after the test drive. It’s fun to drive! Gets 33 mpg on hwy and 29 overall combination. The technology is as good or better than my Escalade and it handles quick and nimble. I would buy another one for sure!…
