If you’re searching for a comfortable, quiet, and sophisticated car that provides a calming and relaxed driving experience, the 2023 Buick Encore GX is the perfect choice for you. There’s so much to love about this classy, compact SUV that we’d stake our lives on you never wanting to be without one again. Let’s take a look at why.

1. Engine and Performance

You can’t help but love the effortless, smooth drive provided by the Encore’s two turbocharged three-cylinder engines that are used to power the 2023 lineup. A 1.2-liter engine with an impressive 137 horsepower is fitted on all base models, with the additional option of upgrading to a 1.3-liter that boosts the horsepower to an even more impressive 155.

We’re most impressed by the Encore’s controlled power that comes from combining a four-wheel drive with a nine-speed automatic, and we’ve also come to appreciate the added security provided by its firm steering, even when navigating dramatic corners, twists, and turns.  

2. Cabin, Comfort, and Cargo

Buick is obviously very passionate about comfort, with the Encore’s cabin combining a charming mix of digital and analog, while its cabin edges away from the mainstream, more toward the luxury end. Yet it still remains practical, made up of robust materials that can be cleaned easily. All seats are well-padded and sculpted for extra support, while the rear and front passenger seats collapse to provide space for extra cargo in the already spacious cabin.

The size of the cabin beats its rival counterparts, measuring 23.5 cubic feet with the rear seats up and 50.2 cubic feet with them laid flat. There’s ample leg and headroom, plus numerous cupholders and storage cubbies scattered throughout the cabin, with a handy bin tucked under the armrest. You’ll love the additional light and fresh air gifted by the optional sunroof and will find the responsive climate control an absolute lifesaver all year round.

3. Safety and Driver Assist

As an owner of an Encore GX, you’ll come to appreciate its many safety and driver-assist features. Automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection come as standard, as do a lane departure warning, lane-keep assist, and adaptive cruise control. We also love that you can add a rearview camera mirror and a 360-degree camera system for added security and safety while maneuvering.

4. Technology

What’s not to love about the Encore GX’s bang-up-to-date technology? Its base audio system has crystal clear sound quality, and the navigation system is both accurate and user-friendly. It responds to voice commands and even uses predictive text, which is super convenient. Electronic devices will never run out, no matter how long the journey is, thanks to its 120-volt outlet, four handy USB ports, and wireless charging pad.

It also has an easy-to-use, new-edition infotainment system that’s accessed through a touchscreen and comes with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Wi-Fi as standard.

There’s so much to love about the 2023 Encore GX. It provides an effortlessly steady drive, a spacious comfortable interior, a comprehensive range of safety features, and top-notch technology. Make it a priority to visit Blue Ribbon Chevrolet to take a closer look at one in person. We just know you’ll love it too.
