Standard automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection. The Encore GX offers numerous standard driver-assistance technologies a rearview camera mirror and 360-degree camera system will be optional. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ( NHTSA) has given the Encore GX a four-star safety rating, but the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has not released crash-test results. We fit five carry-on suitcases behind the GX's rear seats and 16 with the rear seats folded, which is only a few less than the slightly larger Cadillac XT4. The Encore GX's front-passenger seat folds flat to aid in loading longer items and we expect the rear cargo area to be more generous than the smaller Encore. Buick's positioning in the market straddles the line between luxury and mainstream, so it's better equipped than base-level versions of rivals such as the Nissan Kicks and Subaru Crosstrek, but it doesn't provide the same level of fit-and-finish as the Audi, BMW, and Volvo. The Encore GX's quiet cabin features leather upholstery, heated seats, and more passenger space than the smaller Encore. However, on our 200-mile highway fuel economy test route, the Encore GX with the larger engine, all-wheel drive, and nine-speed automatic managed 30 mpg, beating the EPA's estimate by 1 mpg. Going with the smaller 1.2-liter mill drops that figure to 30 mpg and going with the 1.3-liter with all-wheel drive and the nine-speed automatic drops it further to 29 mpg. With front-wheel drive and the CVT, the turbocharged 1.3-liter is said to achieve up to 32 mpg highway. Ironically, the larger of the two three-cylinder engines receives the highest fuel economy ratings from the EPA.

On the road, the Encore GX feels peppier than its acceleration results suggest, particularly around town where the small turbo engine delivers good low-end grunt. The Encore GX's luxury-branded rivals–the Audi Q3, the BMW X1, and the Volvo XC40–all offer more powerful engines and far quicker acceleration times. An all-wheel-drive Encore GX with the larger 1.3-liter four-cylinder required a slothful 9.3 seconds to reach 60 mph.

A continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) is standard on front-wheel drive models, while all-wheel drive variants upgrade to a nine-speed automatic. The base version is a 1.2-liter that develops 137 horsepower, and an optional 1.3-liter unit bumps that up to 155. The Encore GX lineup relies on a pair of turbocharged three-cylinder engines. All-wheel drive is optional and adds $2000 to the price of any Encore GX. The Experience Buick package adds navigation and a power sunroof. It comes with handsome 18-inch wheels, roof-rack side rails, SiriusXM satellite radio, an eight-way power adjustable driver's seat, heated front seats, a rear-seat center armrest, remote start, and dual-zone automatic climate control. The best value in the lineup appears to be the mid-range Select model.
