2025 Buick Encore GX Avenir 4dr SUV (1.3L 3cyl Turbo CVT)
3 of 3 people found this review helpful
Picked up an Avenir version just last week to use as a run about. Had test driven about five other manufacturers prior-to and was left kinda so-so. I won't mention the names except for one in particular that shocked me, the Mercedes GLA! I think we've had 3 Mercedes through the years. (back in the day) That was when you were first seated, you did indeed get the "feeling," "Yes!" "I'm in a Mercedes." Whew, have things changed. Past luxury appointments and "feel" have taken a back seat!!! The thing we drove was noisy, clunky and the seats weren't even comfortable. Sorry, no cigar! Having test driven a few as mentioned, we were driving down the road, saw a Buick dealership and I pulled-in having no idea what they had. I saw one little white-on-beige Avenir Encore and they let us test drive it ALONE without the salesperson chattering the whole time. We actually took two different drives to be sure we weren't just IMAGINING it was quite nice and especially for the price! There were a few incentives that made it so. Now, having driving this little thing for a 100 miles or so, I must say, I'm quite impressed for what it is and I don't get that lumbering, monster SUV feeling. It's a great run about and easy to drive. Plus, compared to other brands we drove, this baby is quite quiet! I think it's worth going the Avenir route to get 2 zone climate, rear mirror video cam, sun roof, 19 inch wheels, etc. etc. BTW, at up to about 50 miles an hour, you don't even feel the wind with sunroof open! I wish my father were alive so I could call and say, "Dad, you're not going to believe this." "I just bought a BUICK!!!" And surprisingly, it feels quite nice!
Encore GX Preferred, Solid choice

2024 Buick Encore GX Preferred 4dr SUV AWD (1.3L 3cyl Turbo 9A)

I have had this vehicle for 14 months now, put 18 K miles on it and really enjoy driving it. Ride is smooth, handles crisp and averaging about 32-33 mpg. Looks are deceiving, despite small size, interior has ample room for 4. With respect to gas mileage, I mostly drive car in FWD mode and haven’t needed to use AWD too often. Don’t know if that is reason I have been getting such good gas mileage. Mechanically reliable and continue to enjoy this vehicle. Also headlights are very good.

Bought a 2024 Preferred 8 months ago. Very comfortable….love how it drives…great gas mileage BUT have had several annoying issues. First was my seat material being warped after sitting on it. They replaced the seat material 3 times finally it’s somewhat better. Also, I have 3 windows that squeak 80% of the time and multiple other rattles and squeaks going down the road. Very annoying. I thought Buick was to be a quiet ride. Also when backing out of the driveway I often get the warning of no tire pressure in any tires. After complaining to Buick and the dealership multiple times I’m getting the run around. The dealership has even offered to get me in another 2024 since they can’t figure out the issues after having the car in 6 times and 21 days total but being late in the year they can’t find me a 2024 where I won’t lose major money. Very disappointing,
Very quick real nice car!!!

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.
