2026 Buick Encore GX Consumer Reviews

Buick Encore GX disappointment. Leased since July 2026 I realized this. The interior design has reflective surfaces that make daytime driving difficult with sun glare. The tire PSI display is situated correct (upper front tires / lower rear tires) HOWEVER, the tires register opposite. (SEE PIX BELOW WHERE FRONT RIGHT TIRE IS 1 PSI OFF). The collision alert has a braking feature which would not be bad except that it alerted to a plastic bag floating 20 feet in front of a normal traveling vehicle with NO OTHER TRAFFIC NEARBY. Good thing we disabled the braking part of this feature. I would hate to be in a rear end collision due to a plastic bag! On top of all this, that I was willing to overlook, Bi-Cal has a new practice of opening a second credit union account when you have a lease agreement. They claim it is to establish/qualify you as a credit union customer but doesn't having a car loan account do that? Consumers do not need a dormant account hanging around to be compromised.

It's a 2020 less than 100,000 miles been in the shop 6 times this year for the turbo boost... they don't offer a loaner car and during my cars stay at least 3 times they had my car 11 days..I grew up on Buick but this is my last one

would not recommend the Buick Encore GX based on my experience. My vehicle has had repeated problems with rough starting, no-start conditions, and stalling. It has been in the dealership for multiple service visits, and I have spent far too much time dealing with a vehicle that I should be able to depend on. What concerns me most is that I was told the stalling issue is a known Buick problem involving the Automatic Engine Stop Feature, yet I was also told there was no fix and no timeline for a fix. Being told that a safety-related problem is known but there is no solution is extremely frustrating. The vehicle has even been sitting at the dealership while these issues were being addressed. Despite the time, inconvenience, and repeated service visits, I still do not have confidence that this vehicle is reliable or safe to drive. A new vehicle should not leave its owner wondering whether it will start, whether it will stall, or whether the manufacturer has a solution to a known problem.

Perfect all around vehicle for a single or married couple with no children. Excellent gas mileage, handles well in the snow. Turns on a dime and you can park it anywhere.

Buick encore gx avenir 2026 I like the car nice looking car drives good a little crowded in the seats hard to get to the seat belts happy with the fuel milage I don't like the extra thumping road noise that is my thing I don't like maybe it can be dealt with

There is a thumping under the car when driving over a small raised place on the road had this since I bought the car home had it at the dealership for this problem several times they say no problem when they drive the car they don't hear anything out of the order very anointing to me and I am ashamed for someone to ride in a new car with that noise got to be fixed

I’ve had this vehicle for a year now. Second week I had it all my dash went black took it to the dealership they fixed it. I am now currently stationed in Germany. Nowhere to take the vehicle to get it fixed out here. They do not work on Buicks I’ve tried everywhere has less than 26,000 miles on it. Check engine light is on not even the base can fix it. They don’t know how to work on it called Warranty Dept since bought extra warranty unbeknownst to me does not work out here in Germany! They did return partial #Warranty money back to me, which was a big scam. Also, then you didn’t work out here, but yet they still gave it to me! I’m stuck with a vehicle that has a check engine light for the past eight months windshield wipers work, but not the fluid in it for the front windshield apparently it’s on recall all safety. OK when I looked it up but electrical Engineer looked it up and said no it is under recall can catch fire or go black which my panel has gone black already now it’s back up after they fixed it but now I wonder is it safe to even drive can’t trade it in because Germany does not accept vehicles with the check engine light at least not here where I have to go to to look for another vehicle so I’m very disappointed. Had a Buick when I was a teenager, excellent. I recommended this vehicle to my daughter with big regrets now I don’t know what to do with it. When we go back to America, it will not pass inspection because of the check engine light still making payments on it not the Bank‘s fault.! Will not ever buy a Buick again!!

Spent 45 years in the auto service and parts buisness at dealerships. Drove everything. Bought my 2023 St 2 plus years ago, have 41000kms, runs like a dream. Took a trip from Northern Alberta to Charlottetown pei in September, got as high as 5.9 l per 100 kms, in Ontario 90km zone for 3 hrs. Most amazing small vehicle I have ever driven
