![]() ![]() The key here is drivability, I’ve driven cars with more power and less torque and come away dissatisfied with the overall power delivery. Driven within the torque band though the GX is quite zippy and the CVT does a respectable job of helping the car off the line. To get the best out this engine you need to use the 177 ft-lbs of torque since there’s not much go in the upper rev range. All front-wheel-drive models use a CVT, never my favorite but this one is pretty good, and finally the 1.3 paired with AWD gets a nine-speed automatic.īetter than expected since based on raw numbers my expectations were quite low. The 1.2 liter 137 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque, the 1.3 liter gives you 155 hp and 174 lb-ft 1,600rpm. I haven’t driven the smaller of the two since my Essence tester had the larger 1.3 liter. Front-wheel drive is standard across the range, if you want all-wheel drive, you get the larger inline-three. The Encore GX is available with 2 engine options, a 1.2-liter or 1.3-liter, both inline 3 cylinders and both of which are turbocharged. It’s surprisingly zippy for a 1.3 liter 3 cylinder What’s under the hood? ![]() The Encore GX is built at two plants around the world, the GM Bupyeong plant in South Korea produces the crossover for North America and SAIC-GM Dongyue South plant in China produces the crossover for China. My 2020 Buick Encore GX Essence FWD loaner had Chili Red metallic paint and a Signet interior with Ebony accents. The rest of the car has some nice styling features including a clean looking front grille, swooping tail lamps, 18 inch swirl-spoke wheels and a curved roof line enhanced by chrome roof rails on my Encore Tester model. Firstly it looks a whole lot better than the smaller Encore with its Pixar looks thanks to it riding on a longer platform measuring 171.4 inches long by 71.4 inches wide by 64.1 inches tall, making it longer, lower, and wider than the Encore. GM really needed a bigger crossover to fill the gap between the Encore and the Envision, and thus the Encore GX, sharing a platform with the Chevrolet Trailblazer, was born. We tested the Buck Encore last year and found it to be a comfortable crossover that was short on space and was odd looking thanks to a really short wheelbase. The new Encore GX is much better effort than the tiny Encore ![]()
