The refreshed Encore GX's pricey Avenir trim level pushes it toward the premium competition.
Small SUVs like the Encore GX aren't typically lauded for their sportiness, and that's true here as well. In lesser trim levels, the Encore GX's base engine is a 137-hp turbocharged 1.2-liter three-cylinder, but the Avenir trim comes standard with a turbocharged 1.3-liter three-cylinder that generates 155 horsepower. More power would be welcome as the Avenir requires a lazy 8.8 seconds to reach 60 mph, though that figure is 0.
Fortunately, everyday driving isn't ruled by on-paper statistics, and while the Encore GX is certainly not quick, the 1.3-liter hits peak torque at 1600 rpm, giving it enough low-down pep to leave stoplights with some authority, and it can easily keep up with freeway traffic—even if the nine-speed automatic transmission is occasionally slow to downshift. If the sound of a three-cylinder concerns you, the Buick's engine doesn't raise its voice much.
