Are you looking for a stylish subcompact crossover with premium style? Look no further than Buick’s 2025 Encore GX. Starting at $26k, this five-passenger ute delivers incredible fuel economy, tons of cargo capacity, and a simplified three-trim lineup that makes it easy to find the perfect Buick Encore GX for sale in your price range with the features you want. 

Buick stands out for offering high-end premium crossovers at affordable prices, bridging the gap between value-priced brands like Chevy and Toyota and upscale nameplates such as Volvo and Audi. This unique positioning offers a compelling value proposition for buyers looking to drive an upscale SUV without a massive payment. Offered in front- and all-wheel drive, the 2025 Buick Encore GX can be equipped to tackle inclement winter weather or optimize fuel economy. This crossover is Buick’s smallest, with a 102.2-inch wheelbase that works well in congested urban areas.

Buick gets the value proposition right with the 2025 Encore GX, offering a dynamic subcompact crossover that’s affordable and ideal for daily commuters. First-time buyers will love the Encore GX’s low starting price, while buyers looking to add some extra bells and whistles will appreciate the lineup’s upper-level trims, which offer upscale amenities like a power liftgate and a panoramic moonroof that spans nearly the entire roof. Buick emphasizes technology for safety and convenience enhancements, making it easy to connect smartphones and protect occupants with cutting-edge driver assistance features. What’s not to love about the 2025 Buick Encore GX?

The Encore GX Preferred

Starting at $26k, the base 2025 Buick Encore GX Preferred delivers an impressive list of standard features while maintaining an affordable starting price. The Preferred trim is powered by a standard 1.2-liter turbocharged I-3 engine that delivers 137 hp and 162 lb-ft of torque. The standard auto start-stop feature contributes to fuel savings but can be switched off manually. The engine is paired with a continuously variable transmission, which also optimizes fuel economy.

Every Preferred trim comes with Buick Driver Confidence, Buick’s suite of driver assistance features, which includes six systems designed to work together to keep drivers alert and aware of their surroundings. Automatic Emergency Braking kicks in when a collision is possible or imminent, intervening to avoid or minimize the severity of a crash. Front Pedestrian Braking works similarly but at slow speeds. Lane Keep Assist and Lane Departure Warning help you stay in your intended lane of travel with gentle steering nudges and alert you when you drift. Other systems include a Following Distance Indicator and automatic high beams.

The Encore GX Preferred trim comes with 18-inch silver painted aluminum wheels and all-season tires, along with automatic LED headlights. A standard 11-inch infotainment touchscreen anchors the ergonomic dash, giving the cabin a futuristic feel. Seating surfaces are cloth and leatherette, with a 6-way manual driver’s seat and an innovative passenger seat that folds completely flat to accommodate long cargo such as skis. Buick includes a 6-speaker audio system, keyless and remote start, and USB-C charging ports.

The Encore GX Sport Touring

Moving up to the mid-range Encore Sport Touring unlocks a handful of extras geared toward performance-oriented buyers and those looking for cabin enhancements. First, the Sport Touring receives a more powerful 1.3-liter turbocharged I-3 engine that makes 155 hp and 174 lb-ft of torque and mates to a 9-speed automatic transmission. A set of 18-inch gloss black aluminum wheels with optional 19-inch wheels are also part of the package. Buyers can opt for the available Black Roof Package to add a two-tone exterior color scheme that adds a black roof with roof rails and black mirrors. A gloss black grille is also included.

Buyers who love to crank the tunes can choose the optional 7-speaker Bose Premium Audio System, which delivers concert-grade sound by acoustically placing the speakers throughout the cabin. Additional optional features include a panoramic moonroof and ebony leatherette seats with special blue stitching. The Encore GX Sport Touring adds LED taillights to the exterior lighting array, along with roof-mounted side rails. Overall, this trim leans into a black exterior and interior color scheme that adds more drama and gives the Sport Touring a more aggressive curb profile to match its additional performance capability.

The 2025 Buick Encore GX Sport Touring starts at around $27,200. There are several packages available, such as the Active Lifestyle Package (which adds a trailer hitch, hitch bezel, trailering harness, and cargo liner), as well as an Advanced Technology Package, which enhances the Sport Touring with additional next-gen technology like Adaptive Cruise Control (which automatically adjusts your speed to flow with current traffic conditions), Rear Park Assist (which helps you avoid banging into obstructions when you back into parking spaces), a 360-degree Surround Vision camera, and a wireless charging pad.

The Encore GX Avenir

If your tastes lean toward fancy features, the 2025 Buick Encore GX Avenir is the ultimate expression of high-end luxury. The Avenir, starting at $31,500, includes the more powerful 1.3-liter turbocharged engine and a set of gorgeous 19-inch Avenir Premium Pearl Nickel aluminum wheels. Only the Avenir can be had with perforated leather-appointed seating, either in beige or ebony hues.

Inside the cabin, the Encore GX Avenir dials up premium features, adding a 120-volt power outlet, power lumbar controls for the driver and front passenger, and an 8-way power driver’s seat. The Avenir trim is the only Encore GX that offers dual-zone automatic climate control, which comes standard. Heated front seats with memory settings for the driver and a heated steering wheel are also included. Buick adds an auto-dimming rearview mirror that eliminates the need for nighttime adjustments, along with a programmable universal home remote.

Two optional packages are available exclusively on the Avenir trim. The first is the Avenir Convenience Package, which bundles a hands-free power liftgate, Rainsense wipers that start automatically when rain is detected on the windshield (and speed up to match rain intensity), Rear Park Assist, and the 7-speaker Bose Premium Audio System. Choosing the Avenir Technology Package adds Adaptive Cruise Control, a Rear Camera Mirror with a washing feature, a 360-degree Surround Vision camera view, and a wireless charging pad for easy cord-free smartphone charging.
