Great Little SUV

2024 Buick Encore GX Avenir 4dr SUV AWD (1.3L 3cyl Turbo 9A)
10 of 11 people found this review helpful

This is an aggressive but very attractive looking little SUV. Handles quite well but, to me, it has a rather stiff ride (read bumpy). This normally wouldn't bother me but for some reason, seemed a little more than I am used to--could be because I'm coming from a slightly larger wheelbase? That being said, front seats are super comfortable. Has quite a bit of pep w/the 1.3 turbo--kind of fun car to drive. Decent leg room front & back. It has a little more room in hatchback area than I expected & back seats fold down for more room. This SUV has all the gewgaws + some I wasn't expecting--they thought of practically everything. It has a decent size info screen. Attractive two tone interior. Price is a little above comparable vehicle but, to me, I think it was worth the extra as I plan on keeping this vehicle a while.

Love my Buick Encore GX

Based on the size of the Encore GX and the smooth riding, I couldn't ask for a better SUV. Once I pulled out of the dealership and drove for a few miles, I felt like I made the right choice. I also have to add that it is a sharp looking SUV.

Great car at a fair price.

2024 Buick Encore GX Preferred 4dr SUV (1.2L 3cyl Turbo CVT)
4 of 4 people found this review helpful

I have had my new car for seven months. And I love it. The CVT transmission shifts smooth and quietly. The turbo 1.2 turbo engine has plenty of power. The interior is very upgraded. The dash displays are easy to use. The heated steering wheel and seats are a nice feature. The extra sound insulation used in the body and glass keeps road noise to a minimum. Fuel mileage runs around 33 to 36 mph. I would buy it again. No problems. The start/stop lockout is nice but the few times I forgot to use it you don't feel it start. Also the standard safety features are nice. Extra warning cameras work great. The front wheel drive handles great in the snow.

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.
