7 Premium Features That Make the 2025 Buick Encore GX Worth Every Dollar

The 2025 Buick Encore GX delivers a premium experience without the premium price tag. With its impressive array of standard and available features, this versatile SUV provides exceptional value for discerning drivers who demand both luxury and practicality. Starting at $34,175, the Encore GX brings upscale amenities to the compact SUV segment, making luxury accessible without compromise.

From advanced technology to thoughtful design elements, the 2025 Buick Encore GX stands out as a smart choice for Canadian drivers seeking refinement, versatility, and value. Let's explore seven premium features that make this compact SUV worth your consideration.

Immersive Technology at Your Fingertips

At the heart of the 2025 Buick Encore GX's cabin sits an ultrawide 11" diagonal infotainment display that transforms how you interact with your vehicle. This expansive touchscreen provides intuitive access to entertainment, navigation, and vehicle settings while supporting wireless smartphone integration for seamless connectivity.

The system responds quickly to inputs and displays information clearly, reducing distraction and enhancing your driving experience. For added convenience, the available wireless smartphone charging pad keeps your devices powered without cluttering the cabin with cables. These technology features rival what you'd expect in luxury vehicles costing thousands more, delivering exceptional value in the compact SUV segment.

Comprehensive Safety That Doesn't Compromise

Every 2025 Buick Encore GX comes standard with Buick Driver Confidence, a suite of six advanced safety and driver-assistance features that provide protection and peace of mind. This package includes Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Following Distance Indicator, and IntelliBeam Auto High Beams.

These technologies work together to monitor your surroundings, alert you to potential hazards, and even take action to help prevent or mitigate collisions. In a vehicle category where safety features are often optional upgrades, the Encore GX stands out by making these protective technologies standard across all trim levels.

Versatility That Adapts to Your Lifestyle

The 2025 Buick Encore GX offers impressive versatility that enhances everyday practicality. With 40/60 split-folding rear seats and a flat-folding front passenger seat, you can configure the interior to accommodate various combinations of passengers and cargo. This flexibility allows you to transport items up to 2.4m (8 feet) long when needed.

When all seats are folded, you'll enjoy a generous 1,421 litres (50.2 cubic feet) of cargo space—ample room for weekend getaway luggage, sports equipment, or home improvement supplies. The available power rear liftgate (standard on Sport Touring) or hands-free power liftgate (standard on Avenir) adds convenience when your hands are full, demonstrating how the Encore GX combines luxury with practical functionality.

All-Weather Confidence and Comfort

Canadian drivers face diverse weather conditions throughout the year, and the 2025 Buick Encore GX is equipped to handle them all. The available All-Wheel Drive system with Drive Mode Selector (standard on Sport Touring and Avenir trims) provides enhanced traction and stability on slippery roads, while the standard heated front seats and heated steering wheel ensure comfort during cold weather driving.

The system intelligently directs power to the wheels with the most grip, enhancing stability and control in challenging conditions. For everyday driving, remote start functionality allows you to warm up or cool down your vehicle before you enter, ensuring comfort from the moment you step inside—a premium feature that adds real value to your daily routine.

Refined Interior Amenities

The 2025 Buick Encore GX elevates the compact SUV experience with thoughtfully designed interior amenities. The base Preferred trim features cloth with leatherette seating surfaces, while the Sport Touring adds unique accents and the Avenir offers leather-trimmed seats with distinctive embroidery.

The available panoramic moonroof bathes the cabin in natural light, creating an open, airy feeling that makes the interior feel more spacious. Dual-zone automatic climate control (standard on Avenir) allows you and your front passenger to set individual temperature preferences, while piano black accents add sophistication to the cabin's appearance. These refinements create an upscale atmosphere that exceeds expectations for vehicles in this price range.

Efficient Performance That Doesn't Sacrifice Power

Under the hood of the 2025 Buick Encore GX, you'll find a 1.3L Turbo engine that balances responsive performance with impressive efficiency. This powertrain delivers spirited acceleration for confident highway merging and passing while achieving impressive fuel economy ratings of 8.0/7.6 L/100 KM (city/highway) with FWD and 9.1/8.4 L/100 KM with AWD.

The Encore GX also offers surprising capability, with up to 453 kg (1,000 lb) of available towing capacity—enough for a small trailer or recreational equipment. This combination of efficiency and capability adds tremendous value, helping you save money at the pump while enjoying versatile performance.

Distinctive Exterior Styling

The 2025 Buick Encore GX makes a striking visual impression with its sculpted body lines, streamlined stance, and distinctive grille design. Standard LED headlamps with signature checkmark-shaped daytime running lights provide excellent visibility while creating a recognizable face that stands out in traffic.

Each trim level offers its own visual character, from the Preferred's 18" Bright Silver painted aluminum wheels to the Sport Touring's high-gloss black accents and exclusive wheels to the Avenir's 19" aluminum wheels with Pearl Nickel finish and exclusive grille treatment. These premium styling elements give the Encore GX a presence that exceeds its price point.
