What's New for the 2026 Buick Encore GX?
Buick's small crossover SUV returns for 2026 with a new Brilliant Red exterior color option. You also have access to a newly available 16-inch spare wheel.
What Are the 2026 Encore GX Trims & Features?
The Encore GX is offered in three trim levels: Preferred, Sport Touring, and Avenir. An impressive list of standard equipment makes the entry-level Preferred trim a compelling value. Highlights include an 11.0-inch HD color touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay®/Android Auto® smartphone connectivity, satellite radio, and remote start.
If you desire a more athletic look, check out the Sport Touring trim. Its sleek exterior details and 18-inch black aluminum wheels make a bold statement. On the inside, you'll find leatherette upholstery and a flat-bottom steering wheel.
At the top of the lineup sits the upscale Avenir trim. Exclusive exterior treatments, including LED clear lens taillamps and unique 19-inch wheels, help it stand out. Upgraded amenities include dual-zone automatic climate control, perforated leather upholstery, and heated front seats.
How Much Horsepower Does the 2026 Encore GX Have?
The new Encore GX gives you two modern powertrains to choose from. A 1.2-liter ECOTEC turbo engine comes standard, which develops a competitive 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque. You can step to an even stronger 1.3-liter ECOTEC turbo engine. It elevates performance by producing 155 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque. While front-wheel drive models feature a continuously variable transmission, all-wheel drive variants come equipped with a nine-speed automatic transmission.
What Safety Features Does the 2026 Encore GX Have?
Just a few of the SUV's standard safety features include an HD Rear Vision camera, Front Pedestrian Braking, Following Distance Indicator, and Lane Change Alert. If you have a new driver at home, you'll certainly appreciate the Encore GX's standard Teen Driver system. Not only does this feature allow parents to set certain restrictions, but it also enables them to monitor their teenager's driving habits.
