  • Reliability (4)
    4 out of 5 stars
    Buick generally has a good reputation for reliability, and the Encore GX is expected to follow suit. Major issues are uncommon, and the powertrain is well-proven.
  • Maintenance (3)
    3 out of 5 stars
    Maintenance costs are typical for the segment. While not overly expensive, some parts and services might be slightly higher than entry-level competitors due to the Buick branding.
  • Technology (4)
    4 out of 5 stars

  • Comfort (4)
    4 out of 5 stars
    The interior is surprisingly comfortable for a compact SUV, with supportive seats and a quiet cabin. Road noise is well-managed, making longer trips more pleasant.
  • Dynamics (3)
    3 out of 5 stars

2022 Buick Encore GX

The 2022 Buick Encore GX positions itself as a premium subcompact SUV, blending stylish design, comfortable amenities, and a focus on modern technology. It aims to offer a more sophisticated alternative within its segment, appealing to buyers seeking a refined yet practical urban crossover.

Highlights

  • Engine Options: The Encore GX offers two turbocharged three-cylinder engine options:
    • 1.2L Turbo: This base engine provides a modest yet capable performance for city driving and everyday commutes, producing 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque. It's paired with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT).
    • 1.3L Turbo: The more potent option delivers 155 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque, offering a noticeable increase in responsiveness. This engine is available with a nine-speed automatic transmission and offers the choice of front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD).
  • Advanced Safety Features: Buick equips the Encore GX with a comprehensive suite of standard and available driver-assist technologies designed to enhance safety and reduce driver stress. Key features include:
    • Automatic Emergency Braking: Detects potential frontal collisions and automatically applies the brakes to mitigate or avoid impact.
    • Forward Collision Alert: Warns the driver of an imminent frontal collision, allowing them time to react.
    • Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning: Helps the driver stay centered in their lane by providing steering assistance and alerting them if they unintentionally drift.
    • Following Distance Indicator: Monitors the distance to the vehicle ahead and alerts the driver if they are too close.
    • Available Surround Vision: Utilizes multiple cameras to create a bird's-eye view of the vehicle's surroundings, aiding in parking and low-speed maneuvering.
    • Available Rear Cross-Traffic Alert: Warns of approaching traffic when the vehicle is in reverse.
  • Trim Summary:
    • Preferred: The well-equipped base trim, offering a solid foundation of features, including a user-friendly infotainment system and essential safety technologies.
    • Select: Builds upon the Preferred trim with enhancements like leather-appointed seating, heated front seats, and a power-adjustable driver's seat.
    • Essence: The top-tier trim, further elevating the Encore GX with premium appointments such as perforated leather seating, a heated steering wheel, a head-up display, and a more powerful engine as standard.
  • Other Notable Aspects:
    • Stylish Exterior Design: The Encore GX boasts a contemporary and upscale appearance, with sharp lines and a signature Buick grille, contributing to its premium feel.
    • Quiet Cabin: Buick emphasizes a quiet and refined interior, utilizing sound-deadening materials and technology to minimize road and engine noise, creating a more serene driving experience.
    • Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto: Seamless integration of your smartphone for audio, navigation, and communication is available wirelessly on higher trims or through a USB connection, enhancing connectivity.
    • Panoramic Moonroof (Available): Adds an open and airy feel to the cabin, particularly enjoyable for passengers.

What to Expect

The typical ownership experience with the 2022 Buick Encore GX is characterized by its comfortable and quiet ride, making it well-suited for daily commuting and longer journeys. The interior is generally well-appointed, with soft-touch materials and an intuitive layout for controls and the infotainment system. Buyers can expect a relatively straightforward maintenance schedule, with regular oil changes, tire rotations, and fluid checks being the primary requirements. Buick's warranty coverage, which typically includes a comprehensive limited warranty and powertrain warranty, provides peace of mind. Insurance costs will likely be in line with other vehicles in the subcompact SUV segment, influenced by factors such as your driving record, location, and chosen coverage levels.

Potential Considerations

While the Encore GX offers many appealing attributes, there are a few points buyers should be aware of:

  • Engine Power: While the 1.3L turbo provides adequate power, some drivers may find the three-cylinder engines to be less engaging or powerful compared to some competitors' four-cylinder offerings, particularly when accelerating at higher speeds or carrying a full load.
  • Rear Seat Space: As a subcompact SUV, the rear seating area, while comfortable for two adults, can feel a bit snug for three passengers, especially on longer trips. Legroom and shoulder room can be limited for taller individuals.
  • Cargo Volume: The cargo space, while sufficient for everyday errands and grocery runs, is on the smaller side for its class. If you frequently haul larger items or have a growing family with significant gear, you might find yourself wishing for more utility.
  • Infotainment System Responsiveness: While feature-rich, some users have noted occasional minor lags or less-than-instantaneous responses from the infotainment touchscreen, particularly on older software versions.

Overall Summary

The 2022 Buick Encore GX successfully carves out a niche for itself in the crowded subcompact SUV market by prioritizing a premium feel, a comfortable and quiet ride, and a generous array of standard safety features. Its stylish exterior and refined interior make it an attractive option for buyers seeking a more sophisticated urban crossover. While its three-cylinder engines might not appeal to everyone seeking spirited performance, and its rear seat and cargo space are not class-leading, the Encore GX remains a compelling choice for those who value comfort, technology, and a sense of quiet refinement in their daily drive.
