Buick has style names he no longer uses, adding Electra, Invicta, Centurion and Apollo. Today, all of the brand’s cross-game app cars start with the letter “E”, whose top popular style is the small Encore, a subcompact SUVover with a luxurious spoonful of Buick that accounted for nearly a portion of Buick’s sales in the United States. Year.
So what does Buick do for an Encore encore? Launch of a compact crossover SUV called Buick Encore GX 2020.
Hmmm This causes confusion.
The same trick did not paint for Oldsmobile, when a GM genius that if an Oldsmobile Cutlass sold well, 3 models called Cutlass would sell even better. (For the record, they were Cutlass Supreme, Cutlass Ciera and Cutlass Calais.) He painted so well that Oldsmobile is no longer with us.
Given that, you have to wonder why Buick’s new Encore GX (base price: $25,095-$31,495), an all-new vehicle built on different architecture from the Encore, shares its name but little else. Instead, the Encore GX’s genetics are shared with the equally new 2020 Chevrolet Trailblazer.
Name aside, the Encore GX’s wardrobe avoids any outdated Buick look, opting for a collection of elegantly modern sculpted flanks, corneas and sporty, even if they’re a little generic. Its length is best for urban uses and more accommodating to corn-fed Americans than Lilliputian Encore.
Inside, locate a similar, strangely spacious and cozy fashionable cabin, thanks to some features that have slightly inflated things, such as the $1500 Buick Experience Group, which adds an electric sunroof with 18-inch wheels, and the most sensitive $770 Shiny Convenience Group, which adds automatic parking assistance, wireless charging Fix the rear camera mirror and rain-sensing wipers. Finally, there’s the Advanced Technology group, which adds a high-definition panoramic camera, front demo and adaptive cruise control.
Everything is in a much higher interior than his brother Chevrolet, however, it would be difficult to call it luxurious. It is true that it is functional and easy to live, and can be supplied with optional leather seats, a heated guide wheel and an ionizing air filter.
Not that the Encore GX does not have a heavy heavy equipment dose, such as collision alert ahead, emergency automatic braking, pedestrian braking ahead, lane-keeping assistance, lane departure caution, and a tracking distance indicator. Rear cross-traffic alert and lane replacement alert with side blind zone alert are optional. And it helps you stay connected with the popular Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, as well as Bluetooth that can pair two phones at the same time. Wireless charging is optional. And siriusXM audio formula can stream live events and programs on demand.
Improving the fashionable appearance of the Encore GX, its high-end internal ratio, better length and high technology are good internal details that make it the ideal companion for automotive life. Despite its length of 171.4 inches, there are 25.4 cubic feet of garage space.
If you want more, the moment the folding row is divided into 40/60, with the narrower segment of the driver’s seat to better accommodate an 8-foot-long item tilted from the folding front passenger seat to the side of the rear driver. And the shipping ground is height adjustable, able to supply more garage under the floor or to get to the point of the folded seats. It’s more flexible than your enjoyed.
And when it comes to moving, discover that the Buick has an exclusive captivating behavior.
The Encore GX comes with front-wheel drive along with a 1.2-liter, 137-horsepower turbocharged three-cylinder engine or a 1.3-liter, 155-horsepower turbocharged three-cylinder engine. Front-wheel drive models come with a popular, variable-frequency transmission, while all-wheel drive models are combined with a nine-speed automatic transmission.
Many automakers describe their small crossovers as urban warriors, basically due to their small length. This is true for the Encore GX; Its length and reduced turning radius facilitate maneuvering in the context of urban warfare. If you can, opt for the largest power plant and all-wheel drive. This gives you maximum force and nine-speed automatic transmission, which is preferable to CVT. There’s a lot of power offline, even more at speed, thanks to the minimal turbo delay.
That said, there are a lot of engine vibrations, especially in the city, so a massage seat is not optional; you don’t want it. You’ll get one. Vibrations aren’t bothersome, but just a reminder that you’re driving a car, which is shining in some of the world’s wonderful vintage sports cars. It’s uncommon to feel vibrations in those days, but welcome to a vehicle that feels so lively and full of life while offering safe driving.
That said, there’s a thin frame in the corners, but it’s far from excessive. However, this is what makes your driving behavior so surprising; is the gifted long-distance cruiser, which is sometimes not the case with small vehicles. He takes a strangely silent, expected walk from a Buick, but unexpected given his lively behavior.
It is a small captivating cruise cross, perfectly capable of fighting it on the streets of the city or oozing on the road. His personality is exclusive and deserves to be tasted. Once you do, get hooked no matter what Buick calls it.
