Affordable Luxury Redefined: The Certified Pre-Owned 2023 Buick Encore GX Preferred AWD at Emerson Chevrolet
In the heart of Maine, where the winding roads of Auburn meet the bustling energy of Lewiston, drivers look for a vehicle that can do it all: navigate a sudden April snow squall, park easily downtown, and provide a quiet sanctuary after a long day at work. At Emerson Chevrolet, located at 946 Center Street, we are proud to offer a vehicle that checks every one of those boxes: the Certified Pre-Owned 2023 Buick Encore GX Preferred AWD.
Powered by the punchy 1.3L Turbocharged engine and loaded with winter-ready features like Heated Front Seats and Remote Engine Starter, this Encore GX isn't just a small SUV—it’s a premium experience tailored for the Maine lifestyle.
The Power of the 1.3L Turbo: Efficiency Meets Capability
While the front-wheel-drive models typically carry a smaller engine, opting for the All-Wheel Drive (AWD) version of the Preferred trim brings a significant performance upgrade.
- Upgraded Performance: This 2023 Encore GX features the 1.3L ECOTEC Turbocharged engine, delivering a spirited 155 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque. This extra muscle is noticeable when you're merging onto the turnpike or climbing the rolling hills of Androscoggin County.
- AWD Confidence: Buick’s Intelligent AWD system is designed for our "fifth season" (mud season). It constantly monitors wheel slip and can proactively send power to the wheels with the best grip, ensuring you stay in control whether the road is covered in slush, rain, or gravel.
- 9-Speed Automatic Transmission: Unlike the CVT found in many competitors, the AWD Encore GX utilizes a traditional 9-speed automatic transmission. This provides a more responsive, tactile driving experience and ensures the engine is always in its most efficient power band.
- Impressive Economy: Even with the added confidence of AWD, the Encore GX remains remarkably fuel-efficient, achieving an EPA-estimated 26 MPG city and 29 MPG highway.
Tailored for Maine Winters
We know that a Maine winter doesn't end just because the calendar says it's April. This Encore GX Preferred is specifically equipped with the "Cold Weather" features our customers ask for most.
- Remote Engine Starter: No more shivering in the driveway while you scrape ice. Start your Buick from the warmth of your kitchen and let the cabin reach the perfect temperature before you even step outside.
- Heated Front Seats: Standard on this model, the heated seats provide near-instant warmth, cutting through the chill of a damp spring morning or a sub-zero January night.
- Power Driver's Seat: Find your perfect driving position at the touch of a button. The 10-way power adjustment (including power lumbar support) ensures that whether you’re driving to Portland or just across town to the grocery store, you remain comfortable and supported.
Buick QuietTuning™: Your Mobile Sanctuary
One of the most distinct features of any Buick is the silence. The Encore GX utilizes Buick QuietTuning™ technology, a comprehensive system of active noise cancellation, triple door seals, and acoustic laminated glass.
The result? A cabin that feels isolated from the wind and road noise outside. It transforms your daily commute into a peaceful retreat where you can enjoy your favorite podcast or have a clear conversation without raising your voice.
Tech-Forward and Safety-Minded
The 2023 Encore GX may be small in stature, but it is massive when it comes to technology and safety.
- Buick Infotainment System: The 8-inch diagonal color touchscreen is the nerve center of the vehicle. It features Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ capability, allowing you to access your navigation and music without ever plugging in a cord.
- Buick Driver Confidence: Safety isn't an option; it’s standard. This Encore GX comes equipped with a suite of six advanced safety technologies:
- Automatic Emergency Braking
- Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
- Forward Collision Alert
- Front Pedestrian Braking
- Following Distance Indicator
- IntelliBeam Auto High Beam Assist
The Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Peace of Mind
Choosing a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle at Emerson Chevrolet means you are getting a vehicle that has been held to the highest possible standard. To become "Buick Certified," this Encore GX had to pass a rigorous 172-point inspection by our factory-trained technicians.
Factory-Backed Warranties
Your investment is protected by two industry-leading warranties:
- 6-Year/100,000-Mile Powertrain Limited Warranty: (From original in-service date). This covers the most critical components of your vehicle—the engine and transmission.
- 12-Month/12,000-Mile Bumper-to-Bumper Limited Warranty: A $0 deductible extension of the original warranty that covers nearly every part of the vehicle.
- CPO Scheduled Maintenance: You receive two included maintenance visits (oil changes and tire rotations) within the first 2 years or 24,000 miles.
Versatility for Real Life
The Encore GX is designed with a "right-sized" approach. It’s compact enough to squeeze into tight parking spots at the Auburn Mall, yet surprisingly spacious inside.
- Flexible Cargo: With the 40/60 split-folding rear seats, you have up to 50.2 cubic feet of cargo space.
- Fold-Flat Front Passenger Seat: A unique Buick feature—the front passenger seat can fold completely flat, allowing you to carry items up to 8 feet long (like a new rug or lumber for a weekend project) with the liftgate securely closed.
