New 2025 Buick Encore GX Models in Houma, LA

Buick’s back, and shaking up the subcompact SUV scene with the 2025 Encore GX, a larger, glitzier sibling to the now-retired Encore. For those who want luxury without the price of a down payment on a small yacht, this first-generation model has become a go-to with its blend of upmarket features and wallet-friendly pricing.

Now, let’s talk about 2025 – the Encore GX has gone through a little glow-up to stay fresh. Buick gave it the green light for flex fuel, a new color option, and even fancy chrome lug nuts. Yes, chrome lug nuts – because nothing says “I’ve made it” quite like a little sparkle on the wheels.

To make shopping simple (because car buying has enough choices to make you dizzy), Buick breaks down the Encore GX into three trims: Preferred, Sport Touring, and Avenir. Under the hood, you can pick from two compact engines and decide if you want front-wheel or all-wheel drive, depending on how adventurous you’re feeling.

Interior Review of the 2025 Buick Encore GX

Step inside the 2025 Encore GX, and it’s like Buick cranked up the luxury dial just for you. The smart keyless system is the first hint that Buick wants your life to be just a tad easier; you don’t even have to touch the key fob to lock or unlock the doors. Inside, this little SUV is loaded with creature comforts, like a spa day on wheels (minus the mud masks).

Taking center stage is an 11-inch high-definition touchscreen that comes with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, along with Bluetooth® audio streaming. It’s like the concert hall you didn’t know you needed. Just tell it what you want, and you’re golden. Voice commands make the magic happen.

Right in front of you is an 8-inch driver information center, giving you all the car stats you could want. Vehicle speed, fuel range, tire pressure, and more are right there because Buick believes in keeping you informed without any guesswork.

And for your cargo needs, every model has a 60/40 split-folding rear seat with an armrest and cup holders, because your cargo deserves a little luxury too. You’ll get 23.5 cubic feet of space, which jumps to 50.2 cubic feet when you fold down the rear seats. Got an eight-foot surfboard? Fold down the front passenger seat, and you’re good to go.

Exterior Review of the 2025 Buick Encore GX

When it comes to looks, the 2025 Buick Encore GX is all about style and substance. It’s sleek, it’s chic, and yes, it’s a subcompact crossover that won’t be lost in the crowd. Buick really dialed up the details, making sure this SUV turns heads without trying too hard.

Up front, it’s all about that intricate grille – it’s like Buick is putting on a designer gown, only this one’s crafted from shiny metal and flanked by slim LED daytime running lights. Oh, and all Encore GX models have LED headlights that turn on automatically and even stay on for a bit after you’ve left the vehicle – fancy, right?

Wheels, you ask? They’ve got options. The Preferred rolls on 18-inch silver-painted aluminum wheels, while the Sport Touring shows off with 18-inch gloss black wheels. Go for the Avenir, and you’ll be riding on premium 19-inch pearl nickel beauties. It’s basically an SUV catwalk.

Power and Performance of the 2025 Buick Encore GX

Buick’s 2025 Encore GX is proof that small engines can pack a punch and sip fuel like they're on a tasting menu, not a buffet. If you’re zipping around town, heading cross-country, or just trying to keep up with the endless list of family visits, Buick has given you two fuel-friendly options that promise to make every drive smooth and surprisingly fun.

Let’s talk about the power behind the drive. First up, there’s the standard Ecotec 1.2-liter turbocharged engine, exclusive to the Preferred trim. Now, this engine isn’t going to win any drag races, but with 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque, it’s got more than enough pep for zipping through city streets, passing Sunday drivers, and getting you where you need to go with ease. Plus, Buick threw in a selectable Stop/Start system to keep things economical in stop-and-go traffic. So, yes, you can sit in traffic and at least feel smug about your gas savings. And for 2025, Buick added E85 FlexFuel capability, because who doesn’t love options?

For those eyeing the Sport Touring or Avenir trims, Buick bumps you up to the Ecotec 1.3-liter turbocharged engine. You’ll get 155 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque – just a bit more oomph for your daily adventures. It, too, has that handy Stop/Start system, meaning you’ll get to enjoy the same fuel-saving benefits with just a touch more power.

Both engines feed their power through a continuously variable transmission (CVT), which is ideal for smooth, consistent acceleration. You also get the choice of front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, so you can pick your drive style, whether you’re a fair-weather friend or ready for anything Mother Nature has in store.

As for the features Buick tossed in? There’s keyless start with a push button, so fumbling for your keys in the depths of your bag or pocket is officially a thing of the past. The Encore GX also includes StabiliTrak, Buick’s electronic stability control with traction control, giving you better handling on slick or winding roads. And, as a bonus, there’s an engine filtration monitor, so you can keep track of the health of your engine without lifting the hood (because, honestly, who wants to?).

Buick has carefully crafted these engine options to provide the kind of practical, efficient, and surprisingly lively performance that makes daily driving a pleasure rather than a chore. Whether you’re picking up groceries or hitting the highway, the Encore GX’s engine lineup has your back.
