I went from a 2021 Buick Encore GX to the 2024 model and I love it. The dashboard is all redesigned and bigger. It is a great vehicle.

My wife and I are very pleased with our 2024 Encore GX purchased used w/ only 2500 mi on the clock. The Encore GX is one of the current Buick lineup of 3 small SUVs for about $25k; I suspect these hidden gems are unknown to many Americans. Unfortunately Buick's focus on China has resulted in the Buick brand being all but forgotten in the US. The NHTSA has given a ***** Overall Safety Rating to the 2024 GX. I have one negative with the Encore -- I'm 6'-1" and the Encore is small for me. Some call the cabin "surprisingly roomy" for a sub-compact suv. Truth be said IT'S JUST SMALL. Likes * 1.2L Turbo engine surprisingly strong in city driving * Entry-level luxury at a moderate price * Fun to drive (some call it boring) * Lots and lots and ... of safety features * Excellent mileage (30+ mpg) for an ICE SUV * Sits up high (as a SUV should!) due to 18" wheels * Quiet cabin due to Buick's QuietTuning technology * Heated seats, steering wheel, outside mirrors * Physical buttons/knobs for radio, climate controls -great * Power hatch/liftgate w/ kick plate - very handy * Traction & Stability control Dislikes * 1.2L Turbo engine is somewhat challenged on the highway * Design same-same as every other small SUV on the road * Seats are narrow, hard and uncomfortable * Road noise is worse than expected for a Buick * Small cargo area w/o rear seat backs down * Insufficient legroom in back seats * Insufficient rear headroom for tall persons * AM/FM/Satellite radio difficult to program * VERY sensitive brakes and accelerator

got the 2024 Buick encore and had a HORRIBLE experience. After a minor accident, my car has been in the shop for 7 months with no word on when I am getting it back. GM refuses to provide the parts for my car. I am so sad. Wish I could have better news.

As a retired GM employee I can’t believe the low quality of my 2024 Buick Encore! The tiny control panel is extremely hard to see in the day light. The design that ended in 2023 had a much better layout and was more user friendly. Buicks are well known as the car of a retiree and should be laid out to be user friendly to an older person not a younger one who likes all the touch screen confusion.
