The 2025 Buick Encore GX offers three distinct trims—Preferred, Sport Touring, and Avenir—each tailored to meet varying preferences and lifestyles. This base trim features 18-inch Bright Silver painted aluminum wheels and LED headlamps, presenting a clean and modern aesthetic. Standard exterior colors include Summit White, with additional premium options like Cinnabar Metallic and Moonstone Gray Metallic available for an extra charge. Building upon the Preferred, the Sport Touring trim introduces a more dynamic appearance with 18-inch gloss black aluminum wheels, a gloss-black grille, and black exterior accents. Unique to this trim is the availability of the Aquamarine Blue Metallic paint, adding a vibrant touch to its sporty demeanor. As the pinnacle of the Encore GX lineup, the Avenir trim exudes sophistication with 19-inch Pearl Nickel aluminum wheels, a distinctive Black Ice Avenir grille, and clear lens LED taillamps. Exclusive color options like White Frost Tricoat further accentuate its premium status.

Under the hood, the 2025 Encore GX offers two turbocharged three-cylinder engines. The Preferred trim comes standard with a 1.2-liter engine producing 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque. An optional 1.3-liter engine, standard on the Sport Touring and Avenir trims, delivers 155 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque.

The Encore GX's performance is tailored for both urban and suburban driving.
