    2023 Buick Encore GX Preferred AWD 1.3L I3 Turbo

    COMES WITH THE COMPLETE EMERSON WARRANTY

    EMERSON CHEVROLET | HASSLE FREE SINCE 1963

    WWW.EMERSONCHEVY.COM

    Refined Capability for the Maine Road: The 2023 Buick Encore GX Preferred AWD at Emerson Chevrolet

    In Auburn, Maine, we know that a vehicle has to be more than just a way to get around. It needs to be a sanctuary from a sudden April snow squall, a nimble navigator for the streets of downtown Lewiston, and a fuel-efficient partner for weekend trips to the coast. At Emerson Chevrolet, located at 946 Center Street, we pride ourselves on offering a selection that meets the diverse needs of our neighbors. Today, we are proud to showcase a vehicle that perfectly blends premium luxury with rugged versatility: the 2023 Buick Encore GX Preferred AWD.

    Powered by a punchy 1.3L Turbocharged engine and featuring the confidence of Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, the Encore GX is a "right-sized" SUV that doesn't ask you to compromise. It offers the elevated seating position and utility of a larger SUV with the efficiency and parking-friendly dimensions of a compact.

    Turbocharged Spirit: Efficiency Meets Performance

    The heart of this Encore GX is the upgraded 1.3L ECOTEC Turbocharged engine. While some compact SUVs feel sluggish when merging onto the Maine Turnpike, the Encore GX was engineered for responsiveness.

    • Snappy Performance: Delivering 155 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque, this engine provides impressive low-end grunt. The turbocharger ensures that power is available exactly when you need it, whether you are passing on a two-lane road or navigating hilly terrain.
    • Refined 9-Speed Transmission: Opting for the AWD model brings a significant mechanical advantage: a traditional 9-speed automatic transmission. Unlike the CVTs found in many competitors, this 9-speed provides a tactile, gear-driven feel that Maine drivers appreciate, ensuring the vehicle stays in the optimal power band for any incline.
    • Impressive Economy: Even with the added traction of AWD, the 1.3L Turbo remains remarkably efficient. It is designed to keep you on the road longer and at the gas station less, making it a smart choice for the budget-conscious professional.

    Intelligent AWD: Built for the "Four Seasons" of Maine

    In Auburn, AWD isn't just a luxury; it’s a tool for confidence. The 2023 Encore GX features an Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system that takes the guesswork out of winter driving.

    • On-Demand Traction: The system constantly monitors wheel slip. If it detects a loss of grip on an icy patch or a muddy camp road, it proactively shifts power to the wheels with the best traction.
    • Drive Mode Selector: With a simple button press, you can engage or disengage the AWD system. This allows you to run in FWD for maximum fuel economy during a dry summer day and switch to AWD the moment the weather turns.

    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 engineering process designed to block, absorb, and reduce noise and vibration.

    • Acoustic Laminated Glass: The windshield and front side windows are specially treated to keep wind and road noise out.
    • Active Noise Cancellation: This system uses the vehicle’s speakers to emit sound-frequency waves that cancel out engine noise, turning your daily commute into a peaceful retreat.
    • Quiet Cabin: Whether you are enjoying a podcast or having a conversation with a passenger, the Encore GX ensures you don't have to raise your voice to be heard.

    Versatility for Real Life

    Don't let the compact footprint fool you; the Encore GX is a master of space management. It is designed to adapt to your ever-changing needs.

    • Surprising Cargo Space: With the rear seats folded, the Encore GX offers up to 50.2 cubic feet of cargo volume.
    • The 8-Foot Solution: A unique feature in this segment is the fold-flat front passenger seat. When combined with the 40/60 split-folding rear seats, you can carry items up to 8 feet long—like a new rug or lumber for a weekend project—with the liftgate securely closed.
    • Reconfigurable Cargo Floor: The cargo floor can be lowered to provide more vertical space or raised to create a flat load floor for easier sliding of heavy items.

    Tech-Forward and Safety-Minded

    The 2023 Encore GX acts as your mobile command center, keeping you connected and protected on every mile.

    • Buick Infotainment System: The dashboard features a crisp 8-inch diagonal color touchscreen. With Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ as standard, you can access your navigation and favorite playlists without the clutter of cables.
    • Buick Driver Confidence: Safety is a priority, not an option. This Encore GX comes standard with a suite of six advanced safety technologies:
      1. Automatic Emergency Braking
      2. Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
      3. Forward Collision Alert
      4. Front Pedestrian Braking
      5. Following Distance Indicator
      6. IntelliBeam Auto High Beam Assist

      Spent 45 years in the auto service and parts buisness at dealerships. Drove everything. Bought my 2023 St 2 plus years ago, have 41000kms, runs like a dream. Took a trip from Northern Alberta to Charlottetown pei in September, got as high as 5.9 l per 100 kms, in Ontario 90km zone for 3 hrs. Most amazing small vehicle I have ever driven…

    • A great, small SUV

      Overall a great, small SUV. 1.3L turbo engine is surprisingly responsive and gas mileage is great @ 26+ mpg just driving around town. Highway add 3 easily. Takes regular gas as well. Holds plenty of items for 2 people even if back seats are not folded down. Do that you are good to go! I am 6’2”, 190lbs and seating is comfortable. Still haven’t sat in passenger or rear but I am confident they are comfortable.…

    • Very happy with our 2024 Encore GX Cute Ute !!

      My wife and I are very pleased with our 2024 Encore GX purchased used w/ only 2500 mi on the clock. The Encore GX is one of the current Buick lineup of 3 small SUVs for about $25k; I suspect these hidden gems are unknown to many Americans. Unfortunately Buick's focus on China has resulted in the Buick brand being all but forgotten in the US. The NHTSA has given a ***** Overall Safety Rating to the 2024 GX. I have one negative with the Encore -- I'm 6'-1" and the Encore is small for me. Some call the cabin "surprisingly roomy" for a sub-compact suv. Truth be said IT'S JUST SMALL. Likes * 1.2L Turbo engine surprisingly strong in city driving * Entry-level luxury at a moderate price * Fun to drive (some call it boring) * Lots and lots and ... of safety features * Excellent mileage (30+ mpg) for an ICE SUV * Sits up high (as a SUV should!) due to 18" wheels * Quiet cabin due to Buick's QuietTuning technology * Heated seats, steering wheel, outside mirrors * Physical buttons/knobs for radio, climate controls -great * Power hatch/liftgate w/ kick plate - very handy * Traction & Stability control Dislikes * 1.2L Turbo engine is somewhat challenged on the highway * Design same-same as every other small SUV on the road * Seats are narrow, hard and uncomfortable * Road noise is worse than expected for a Buick * Small cargo area w/o rear seat backs down * Insufficient legroom in back seats * Insufficient rear headroom for tall persons * AM/FM/Satellite radio difficult to program * VERY sensitive brakes and accelerator…
