Introduction
The Buick Encore GX is a subcompact SUV with an elevated edge. The 2022 Encore GX brings a premium feel and enhanced safety to the mainstream subcompact SUV segment.
First previewed for North American audiences in 2019 at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the Buick Encore GX arrived in early 2020 to join its siblings, the subcompact Encore and the compact Envision. Positioned as an option for buyers who wanted more space and luxe-leaning amenities at a great price point, the Encore GX was a welcome addition to the lineup. Available in three models and a choice of two 3-cylinder engines, the 2021 Encore GX competes well in a strong class with the Mazda CX-30, Kia Seltos, and Honda HR-V.
The 2022 Buick Encore GX is a nicely equipped package with abundant driver assistance and convenience features. Rather than leaning into the off-road side of the sport utility space, the Encore GX is at home on the paved paths and city living.

KBB Review Highlights
Like its smaller sibling of a similar name, the 2022 Encore GX is a roomy, petite SUV built in South Korea. With a modern safety suite that includes automatic emergency braking and lane-keeping assist, the Encore GX offers a confidence-inducing option for drivers who want all the luxury amenities at a value-conscious price. Key rivals include the Honda HR-V, Kia Seltos, and Mazda CX-30.
All Buick Encore GX models get one of two turbo engines with either front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD). The turbocharged 1.3-liter model powers the AWD version, has a standard 9-speed automatic transmission, and delivers 155 horsepower, while the 132-hp 1.2-liter models are front-wheel drive and have a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). Both options provide a comfortable ride if moderately powered, but we prefer the extra pep of the 1.3-liter.
With a roomier interior than the original Encore, the Encore GX provides comfortable space for four or five in a pinch and enough leg room for adults to relax in the back row. Soft-touch materials add comfort to the front of the cabin. In the rear, the Encore GX’s interior is less high-touch and is driven by plastic and firm surfaces. The rear seat folds flat and splits 60/40 for improved cargo flexibility, creating nearly as much space behind the rear seat as the larger Envision.
A handsome vehicle and brand win for Buick, the Encore GX looks more expensive than it is. It’s available in three levels: the entry-level Preferred, midlevel Select, and top-tier Essence. Starting with a strong base, the Preferred trim is well-equipped with the 1.2-liter engine, 18-inch wheels, an 8-inch touchscreen, push-button start, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto compatibility, and a 4G Wi-Fi hot spot. As you rise through the trims, heated front seats, dual climate control, leather upholstery, an in-vehicle air ionizer, and enhancements to the safety package appear. The Essence trim tops the lineup with a leather interior, a 20-volt power outlet, and LED lighting.
Various factory options customize the 2022 Encore GX. These include the Sport Touring Package, which offers cosmetic enhancements like a black mesh grille, red exterior accents, and etched alloy wheels, and the Advanced Technology package, which enhances the Encore GX Select with navigation, adaptive cruise control, a head-up display, and a parking assist package.
The 2022 Encore GX offers buyers an excellent no-compromise option. It features a comprehensive safety and convenience suite and plenty of drive assistance features. A comfortable cabin and easy drive make it a winning choice in the subcompact SUV segment. The 2022 Buick Encore GX received the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s (IIHS) coveted rating of Top Safety Pick.
