2026 Buick Encore GX: Turbocharged Comfort in a Small SUV Package

buick gx

The 2026 Buick Encore GX rewards a closer look, because the trim you choose changes much more than the price. You can match the engine, the drivetrain, and the cabin technology to the way you actually drive. Let the team at Joyce Buick GMC in Avon, OH, help you narrow the field. 

Power and Performance 

Both engines here are turbocharged three-cylinders, but they are not interchangeable. The Preferred trim comes standard with the ECOTEC 1.2-liter Turbo paired to a continuously variable transmission, while the 1.3-liter Turbo is available on Preferred and standard on Sport Touring and Avenir. That 1.3-liter Turbo produces 155 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque through a nine-speed automatic transmission when you choose AWD, or a CVT when you opt for FWD. 

Technology Features 

The 2026 Buick Encore GX puts an ultrawide 11-inch diagonal display ahead of you, alongside an eight-inch Driver Information Center. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility connects your phone without a cable, and available wireless charging keeps it powered.  

QuietTuning® with Active Noise Cancellation holds road noise out of the five-passenger cabin. Depending on trim, you sit on cloth and leatherette, leatherette, or leather-appointed surfaces, with available heated front seats, an available heated steering wheel, and an available panoramic power moonroof. 

Safety Features 

Core safety technology in this new Buick model does not depend on which trim you pick. Buick safety features include: 

  • Front Pedestrian Braking 

  • Forward Collision Alert 

  • Automatic Emergency Braking 
  • Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning 
  • Following Distance Indicator 
  • IntelliBeam® automatic high beams 

Blind-zone alerts, rear cross-traffic systems, adaptive cruise control, and parking assistance vary by trim and package, and Joyce Buick GMC can confirm which build includes what you want. 

Towing and Cargo 

Load the area behind the rear seats and you have 23.5 cubic feet to work with. Fold the 40/60 split rear seats and that grows to 50.2 cubic feet, while an available flat-folding front-passenger seatback opens room for longer items. Properly equipped, the 2026 Buick Encore GX tows up to 1,000 lbs, which suits a small utility trailer rather than heavy hauling.
