What's New for the 2022 Buick Encore GX?

Four eye-catching new colors have arrived: Sunset Glow Metallic, Rosewood Metallic, Sapphire Metallic, and Cinnabar Metallic.

2022 Encore GX Trims & Features

When shopping for a new 2022 Buick Encore GX, you will have three feature-packed trim levels to choose from. The entry-level Preferred trim is a great value. It comes loaded with several upscale features, including Buick Quiet Tuning technology. Meanwhile, Buick's infotainment system features an 8.0-inch diagonal touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone integration. Other highlights include Bluetooth, a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, and satellite radio.

Expect the mid-level Encore GX Select to offer an even more comfortable driving experience. It adds dual-zone automatic temperature control and heard front seats. Remote vehicle start enables you to warm up or cool down the interior before heading out. A surround-view parking camera and a head-up display come with the optional Advanced Technology package.

Atop the range sits the luxurious Encore GX Essence. Its leather-appointed cabin features a heated steering wheel and an air ionizer. Music fans will love the sound of the Bose premium audio system. LED exterior lights and a 120-volt outlet further set apart the Essence trim. You can also outfit this trim with an optional Convenience package. It adds Automatic Parking Assist, wireless charging, and a few more niceties.

Buick Encore GX Horsepower

Designed with a turbocharger, the crossover's standard 1.2L EcoTec engine manages to develop a pleasing 137 horsepower. It's definitely peppy enough for your daily travels. However, drivers seeking enhanced responsiveness can step up to a larger 1.3L Ecotec engine. Output increases to 155 horsepower, which promotes a livelier performance. While a continuously variable automatic transmission comes standard, opting for Buick's intelligent AWD system brings a nine-speed automatic transmission.

Buick Encore GX Safety

The new Buick Encore GX scored well in every crash-test category, thus enabling it to receive an NHTSA five-star overall safety rating. A rearview camera helps drivers to stay secure when backing up. Standard Buick Driver Confidence also equips the SUV with several active safety technologies. Just a few of the highlights include Forward Collision Alert with Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist, Following Distance Indicator, and Front Pedestrian Braking. Several other advanced driving aids are available as well.
