Premium Sophistication Meets Compact Agility: The 2022 Buick Encore GX Preferred AWD at Emerson Chevrolet
Finding an affordable, daily-driving vehicle that can effortlessly conquer a snowy Maine winter without feeling like a massive, hard-to-park tank has become a major challenge for local drivers. Many compact SUVs on the market trade away interior quietness, premium styling, and low-end power just to hit a reasonable price point.
At Emerson Chevrolet, we love showcasing vehicles that break that mold completely. Right now, our premium pre-owned inventory features an exceptional 2022 Buick Encore GX Utility 4D Preferred AWD. Armed with an upgraded 1.3L ECOTEC Turbo engine and an intelligent 9-speed automatic transmission, this upscale crossover brings a genuine touch of luxury class, whisper-quiet cabin technology, and robust all-weather capability to the driveway.
The Encore GX isn't just a standard "Encore"—the GX is built on a slightly longer, wider, and completely modernized global platform. The Preferred AWD package gives you an aggressive, athletic stance with 18-inch bright silver painted aluminum wheels, crisp body lines, and deep-tinted glass. It is engineered from the ground up for active drivers who want standard luxury look and feel paired with smart, space-efficient design.
Upgraded 1.3L Turbo Power and Real 9-Speed Automatic Performance
When looking at compact crossovers, it is vital to pay attention to the specific powertrain under the hood. While the standard baseline Encore GX comes with a smaller 1.2-liter engine, this premium pre-owned model features the highly desirable, upgraded 1.3L ECOTEC I3 Turbocharged engine.
- Peppy and Responsive Output: This advanced turbocharged engine pumps out a healthy 155 horsepower and a robust 174 lb-ft of torque. Because it is turbocharged, that maximum torque kicks in at a low 1,600 RPM, giving you instant acceleration when pulling out onto Center Street or merging into fast-moving traffic.
- A True 9-Speed Automatic: Unlike front-wheel-drive crossovers that rely on a sliding Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), this All-Wheel-Drive Encore GX features a robust 9-speed automatic transmission. This means you get crisp, traditional mechanical gear shifts and an optimal gear ratio for everything from steep hill climbs to smooth, efficient highway cruising.
- Intelligent All-Wheel Drive: Buick's active AWD system continuously tracks individual wheel speeds. If the front tires hit a patch of black ice, slush, or loose gravel, the system instantly routes power to the rear wheels to keep your vehicle tracked perfectly straight and confident.
- Impressive Fuel Economy: Despite having a robust all-wheel-drive layout, the highly efficient 1.3L Turbo engine lets you keep fuel costs remarkably low, delivering an excellent EPA-estimated 26 MPG city and 29 MPG highway.
Experience True Sanctuary: Buick QuietTuning™ Technology
If there is one defining characteristic that sets a Buick completely apart from everyday commuter vehicles, it is the uncompromising peacefulness of the passenger cabin. Buick combats unwanted ambient road sounds using a comprehensive engineering philosophy known as QuietTuning™.
How it works: Buick engineers position acoustic materials strategically throughout the vehicle body. This includes a specialized acoustic-laminated windshield, triple door seals, and extensive insulation layers embedded inside the floorboards and engine firewall.
The result is a driving experience that feels isolated from the outside world. When you are traveling down a noisy highway or driving past a loud construction site, the interior stays whisper-quiet, allowing you to enjoy crystal-clear conversations or listen to your favorite podcasts without straining.
A Cleverly Engineered Layout: Compact Outside, Spacious Inside
Don't let the sleek, park-anywhere exterior dimensions fool you. The interior of the 2022 Encore GX is a masterclass in smart packaging, offering plenty of breathing room for up to five adult passengers and an highly versatile cargo bay.
- Premium Synthetic Cloth & Leatherette Trim: The seats are upholstered in a stylish, durable blend of cloth and premium leatherette material, offering a premium aesthetic that is incredibly easy to clean and maintain through mud season.
- Generous Passenger Room: Front row occupants can relax with 40.9 inches of legroom and 39.7 inches of headroom. Second-row passengers aren't cramped either, enjoying 36 inches of dedicated legroom.
- Generous Cargo Capacity: Behind the 40/60 split-folding rear bench seat, you will find a deep trunk layout providing 23.5 cubic feet of everyday storage space.
- Fold-Flat Front Passenger Seat: Need to haul a long rug, a set of skis, or building supplies from the hardware store? In addition to folding down the rear seats, the front passenger seat folds completely flat forward, allowing you to haul objects up to eight feet long completely enclosed within the vehicle. With all rear seats folded down, cargo capacity opens up to a massive 50.2 cubic feet.
Cutting-Edge Connected Technology and Intuitive Infotainment
The dashboard of the Preferred trim is clean, modern, and built around keeping you seamlessly connected to your digital life without pulling your eyes off the road.
- 8-Inch Buick Infotainment System: This bright, responsive high-definition touchscreen features fast processing speeds, crystal-clear graphics, and intuitive menu icons that behave exactly like your favorite smartphone.
- Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto: No cables required. The second you step into the driver's seat with your phone in your pocket, your maps, contacts, playlists, and text messages automatically sync directly onto the 8-inch central display screen.
- Built-in Wi-Fi Hotspot Capability: Keep your passengers entertained on long trips out of town. The onboard 4G LTE Wi-Fi system allows multiple devices to stream video, play games, or complete remote work seamlessly.
Total Safety Confidence: Buick Driver Confidence Standard
Your safety on the road is never treated as an optional luxury. The 2022 Encore GX arrives equipped with an advanced array of radar and camera-based protective safety systems designed to watch your back.
- Automatic Emergency Braking
- Forward Collision Alert with Following Distance Indicator
- Front Pedestrian Braking
- Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
- IntelliBeam Auto High Beam Assist
- HD Rear Vision Camera
