2025 Buick Encore GX Sport Touring: The Forgotten Crossover?

Is this the CUV to buy? Has it gotten lost in the sea of competition?

Very curious about this car! Way better than I thought! Agree that the blue contrasting stitching could get more widespread use. Hunch that car is way better than I thought, includes Trax and the other Korean "cousins" from GM. Very attractive in and out. Think this is a good example of "cheap and cheerful" ..competes best with the smallest H-K made subcompacts. Value proposition is OK..a bit more and a prospective buyer could move to a Hyundai Tucson or Kia Sportage base. There you get much more interior room, 2.5 L 4 cylinder, 8 speed torque converter automatic. etc. I would tend to put my "hard earned $" on the larger H-K twins. You enjoy the reviews and they are well done! Keep it up!

Mike, excellent job as usual. Summit White always look good. I like the ST,& the Preferred trim levels.
Customers who want the lower trim in FWD,can buy the 1.3 engine w a CVT for $395?👍👍

[@chabbysrides]

Thanks David. Yes. Only a $395 increase in base price for the 1.3 engine. 👍

GM does make the drivetrains & engine choice a litte confusing.
On the Envista/ Trax you have 1 choice period & it's strictly FWD.

Actually Buick is one of if not the most reliable American brand now. I drove a Buick Regal when I was young, it was a boat! But that’s how cars were back then. 😂

I had an 83 Regal. Drove it across the country. Those were the days. 😀
