2026 Buick Encore GX in Midland, ON

Sophisticated Interior

Buick designers built one of the most sophisticated interiors in the compact crossover SUV segment. The three available 2026 Buick Encore GX trims offer a variety of interior options, including several leather upholstery choices. From a practical standpoint, the Encore GX also offers generous legroom dimensions. Drivers and front passengers have nearly 1,040 mm of legroom, leaving rear passengers with just over 900 mm.

Adaptable Cargo Space

Every SUV is evaluated on cargo space. This year’s model offers 665 litres of cargo volume behind the second row when it’s deployed for passengers. Folding that seat away more than doubles the available volume for 1,422 litres of storage. A power liftgate is available on Sport Touring and Avenir models.

Efficient Performance

The standard powertrain employed by the 2026 Encore GX smoothly balances performance and efficiency. A turbocharged 1.3-litre engine is attached to a nine-speed automatic transmission, producing 155 horsepower and 174 pound-feet of torque. Each trim grade can record 9.2 L/100 km in the city and 8.4 L/100 km on the highway.

Bad Weather Handling

When the weather turns rough with rain, snow and ice, the 2026 Encore GX is ready to respond. Buick’s intuitive all-wheel drive system is standard equipment across the board. Additionally, several wheel sizes are available for buyers to get the handling profile they want.

Digital Cockpit

All of the information available to drivers and passengers comes in through a pair of digital screens. Analog gauges have been replaced by a screen that can display whatever the driver needs to see. An available 11-inch touchscreen also serves to house the infotainment services and smartphone apps for compatible devices, including wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The Buick Driver Confidence package is equipped across the SUV’s lineup. Sensors and monitors keep drivers abreast of what is happening around the vehicle, helping them avoid potentially dangerous situations. The suite is comprised of:

• Front Pedestrian Braking
• Forward Collision Alert
• Automatic Emergency Braking
• Lane Keep Assist & Lane Departure Warning
• Following Distance Indicator
• IntelliBeam headlights
