Since they
first broke into the luxury automotive industry, Buick has made a name for
themselves in terms of quality and user experience. Because of this, so many
individuals want to add a Buick to their garage! Since it is a luxury vehicle,
many feel that this dream is unattainable, or that Buick just does not offer
the right vehicle for them, but with more and more Buick models being released,
that dream of luxury could become a reality. With the recent introduction of
the Buick Encore GX, many are starting to wonder if this could be the
smooth-riding, power-inducing, and sweet ride they have been dreaming of.
Why Buick is adding to their lineup
By
releasing the Encore GX, Buick has successfully captured drivers in small,
compact and midsize sport utility vehicles (SUVs). This revolutionary vehicle
bridges the gap between the Encore and Envision in Buick’s SUV lineup. Considered
one of the best small (or compact) options for SUV lovers, the new Encore has
features that change the way drivers view safety and specifications, for a price
incomparable to other SUVs on the market.
With
consumer demands becoming more intense in today’s marketplace, automakers are
forced to diversify their vehicle lineups. They do this since there is so much
existing competition in the market; rather than letting a consumer buy another
vehicle, they step in to fill the consumers’ needs. By releasing the Encore GX
and “filling” their lineup, Buick is taking another step in the same regard.
The new
2020 Buick Encore GX is meant to give consumers another choice when choosing a
Buick vehicle. Once it is officially released into the lineup, it means Buick
will be offering four premium SUVs across their consumer segments, making them
a leader in the automotive industry.
About the Encore GX
First
unveiled at the Shanghai Auto Show, the Encore GX holds true to Buick’s
language style, including a chrome body that follows the curvature of the side
glass windows, blending into the rear hatch and oversized tail lights; not to
mention what brings it all together at the face: the large chrome grill that
proudly sports the Buick logo. With all of these stylistic features, the Encore
GX undoubtedly lives up to Buick’s reputation for quality craftsmanship and
luxury transportation.
Even
though the vehicle has already been unveiled, Buick has been refraining from
releasing pertinent information about the crossover SUV. Information that has
yet to be released includes the model’s exterior and interior dimensions, as
well as, price and powertrain information. Despite withholding so many details,
the superstar car brand has shared that the Encore GX will come standard with
the same safety features as other Buick models; these include automatic
emergency braking, pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assist, and
lane-departure warning. The vehicle will also come equipped with a rear-camera
mirror and surround-view monitor.
How it compares
The
unveiling of this new Encore model has many Buick enthusiasts wondering what
makes it so different than other Encore models already on the market.
In terms
of how it looks on the outside, the new Encore GX carries some resemblance to
the original, smaller Encore; however, it has been given a newer dose of
Buick’s latest design language and has been said to look more like the Buick
Regal or Enclave models.
On the
inside, the design from the original Encore has been particularly influential
in the Encore GX. Despite this heavy influence, some surfaces have been
freshened up a bit to give a heightened feel of luxury.
High gear
While we
already know of the standard safety amenities that will be included in the new
Encore GX, Buick has not been quick to release other technical information
about the vehicle. Buick has stated that real specifications about the vehicle
and pricing information will not be made available until the Encore GX is
released to automotive dealers in the United States, which is not supposed to
happen until early 2020.
To all of
our Buick fanatics out there: remember, patience is a virtue.
The perfect fit
Being
first in class for both sophistication and comfort, this Buick model is perfect
for drivers looking to accommodate their families, friends, or a full carpool. While
the spirited, yet efficient, performance of the Encore GX will surely get your
crew where they need to go, it does not stop there. This new vehicle is said to
feature five more cubic feet of storage space than the original Encore models,
making it a strong option for those in need of a larger cargo area for all of
the essentials (and then some), and still want a compact SUV.
