Buick Encore GX
Times change, and so does the Buick lineup. The brand’s best-selling model is now a small, Korean-built crossover with a 1.3-litre three-cylinder engine producing 155 horsepower and standing just 4.35 metres long. The days of the Electra 225 are long gone. For 2024, the Encore GX gets a few styling tweaks, a fully digital instrument panel and standard AWD on the ST model. Also, the 1.2-litre engine has been dropped while the luxurious Avenir model is new to the series.
