Quiet cabins built Buick's reputation for decades before "quiet" became anyone else's marketing buzzword. That legacy shows up in the Buick Encore GX as QuietTuning, built from acoustic glass and extra sound-deadening material. It's a small detail that changes how the whole cabin feels at highway speed. This compact crossover sits at the smaller end of Buick's SUV lineup, yet it does not feel small once you're inside. A front passenger seat that folds flat is a neat trick most rivals in this class skip entirely. Used examples carry all of that character into a segment that rarely bothers with it.

Buick gave the Buick Encore GX softer, more sculpted body lines than boxier crossovers in its class. Roof rails come standard, hinting at a bit more outdoor capability than the styling alone suggests. The cabin makes the most of every inch, with rear-seat and cargo room that punch above the vehicle's exterior footprint. Drivers who want SUV height and visibility, without SUV-sized parking headaches, tend to end up here. It rides comfortably around town, then settles into a relaxed, quiet cruise once the highway opens up. A used Buick Encore GX makes that easy-to-live-with formula available today.

Buick Encore GX Trim Levels

Buick ties engine size to trim level on the Buick Encore GX more directly than most compact crossovers do. The base engine comes standard on the entry trim, with the larger option built into the top trim. Comfort and convenience features climb somewhat independently of that engine split. Buyers focused purely on power effectively choose a trim by choosing an engine. The gap in feel between the smallest and largest engine is bigger than the badge on the tailgate suggests.

• Preferred: This base model combines a 1.2-litre engine, front-wheel drive, and a continuously variable transmission. Heated front seats and an 8-inch touchscreen come standard even here, which says something about where Buick sets its baseline. Choosing this trim would leave most shoppers perfectly satisfied.
• Select: Select adds automatic dual-zone climate control and a 10-way power driver's seat with lumbar support. Remote start joins the options list, too, handy for scraping less ice off the windshield. It sits in that comfortable middle ground between necessity and indulgence.
• Essence: The Buick Encore GX Essence gets the larger 1.3-litre engine as standard equipment, along with leather-appointed seats that are both heated and ventilated. A hands-free power liftgate opens with a foot wave, handy with an armful of groceries. Few compact crossovers manage to feel this finished.
• Other Trim Levels: Buick renamed the top two trims as part of a mid-cycle facelift, so later used examples carry different badges. Sport Touring replaced Select as the mid-level trim, adding sportier styling cues alongside similar comfort features. Avenir took over from Essence at the top of the range, carrying the same near-luxury trimmings under a new name. Preferred kept its name across both generations, so it's the one badge that stays consistent throughout the used inventory.

Buick Encore GX Key Features

Cargo tricks set this SUV apart from most rivals, starting with a front passenger seat that folds completely flat. Combined with the split-folding rear bench, that opens up enough room for an 8-foot ladder loaded on a diagonal. Buick's Driver Confidence safety suite comes standard on every trim here, not held back for the top-of-the-range. Engine choice still matters, since the two available three-cylinders differ in both output and fuel use. A lot of what makes this crossover pleasant to own never shows up in a spec comparison.

• Engine and Fuel Economy: The standard 1.2-litre turbo produces 137 horsepower and 162 lb.-ft. of torque. The fuel economy is 8.0 L/100km in the city and 7.0 L/100km on the highway. Stepping up to the 1.3-litre turbo provides 155 horsepower and 174 lb.-ft. of torque, with available all-wheel drive. That engine returns 8.0 L/100km in the city and 7.6 L/100 km on the highway.
• Seating and Cargo Capacity: This compact crossover SUV seats five and holds 665 litres of cargo behind the rear seats. Folding the 60/40 rear bench expands that to 1,421 litres. Front-seat legroom measures 1,039 mm, with 914 mm in the rear.
• Technology and Connectivity: An 8-inch touchscreen runs Buick's infotainment system, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto included from the base trim up. Bluetooth streaming and steering-wheel-mounted audio controls cover the basics without any menu hunting. Essence trims add a colour driver information display between the gauges.
• Safety and Driver Assist: Automatic emergency braking and forward collision alert come standard on every trim, not reserved for the Essence. Lane keep assist and following distance indicators help on longer highway stretches. Rear park assist and cross-traffic alert make reversing out of tight spaces less stressful.
