There are a near-infinite number of options in the compact crossover SUV market, and while the Buick Encore GX may not be the most alluring, it’s still a car that hits its mark faultlessly as an affordable and economical 5-door runabout. It’s not the most enjoyable car to drive or the most luxurious, but it is decently pleasant and impressively economical. Its modern and cute aesthetic, along with its easy drivability and frugality, make it an ideal urban and suburban runabout. It’s also got a surprisingly spacious interior that is also fairly pleasant despite the use of many low-grade materials. The Encore GX’s infotainment system is one of the best in the industry for its comprehensive functionality and user-friendly interface. Every model in the line is also extensively outfitted with features at the standard level. A maximum towing capacity of 1,000-pounds isn’t very impressive, but still a nifty level of capability considering the segment. In review, the 2021 Buick Encore GX is a more than decent family runabout, especially at its price. Considering that the 2021 Buick Encore GX SUVs price of $24,200, is only around $1,000 more than the regular Encore, it’s certainly well worth considering.
