The Encore GX may look similar to the regular Encore but it is an all-new model and has sportier, more luxurious styling to help attract a bigger portion of the car-buying market. Some styling cues from more expensive metal in the Buick range make their way to this model, but the really big reasons to consider the GX lie with its economical engines and capacious cargo volumes.CARBUZZ
They continuedAfter realizing that the vast majority of its sales were coming from SUVs and crossovers, Buick quickly pivoted to the point where those are now the only models it sells. The companys latest offering is called the Encore GX, a subcompact crossover positioned above the smaller Encore and below the Envision. It may share a name with the smaller Encore but the GX is completely new. Why would Buick go through the trouble of making the GX its own model when the regular Encore could have just had a new trim added to it? Well, the Encore is based on the Chevy Trax, a platform developed with the no-longer-GM-owned Opel, whereas the GX is based on an all-new platform that also underpins the latest Chevy Trailblazer.
Buick has packed the Encore GX with outstanding, class-leading technology at a price point that wont leave your checkbook suffering. CarBuzz was sent an Encore GX in the top Essence trim with FWD and we came away pleasantly surprised with Buicks latest offering.

Car and Driver wroteSlotting in above the small Encore in the Buick SUV lineup, the 2020 Encore GX offers the brand's semi-luxury attributes in a handsome, compact package. Encore GX offers a smooth ride and well-controlled body motions, good interior room, and pleasant cabin surroundings. It straddles the line between mainstream and luxury markets, so those comparing it against a Nissan, a Ford, or its corporate twin, the Chevrolet Trailblazer, will find it an attractive and well-equipped alternative
