2025 Buick Encore GX Preferred

2025 Buick Encore GX Preferred AWD – $23,000

There’s a big difference between wanting a smaller SUV and wanting a basic SUV. This 2025 Buick Encore GX Preferred gives you the easy-to-drive size and fuel economy of a compact crossover while adding the quieter, more refined feel Buick buyers are looking for.

At $23,000 with 35,616 miles, it’s also an interesting alternative to spending considerably more on a new compact SUV.

This Encore GX is finished in Summit White with an Ebony interior and is a CARFAX One-Owner vehicle with a Clean CARFAX. Pettijohn Auto Center charges a $0 documentation fee, so we don’t add a dealer doc fee to the advertised price.

Under the hood is a 1.3L ECOTEC turbocharged engine producing 155 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque. It’s paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission and AWD.

That combination fits Midwest driving especially well. AWD provides additional traction for snow, rain, gravel roads, and changing Missouri and Iowa weather, yet this Buick is still rated at 26 MPG city and 28 MPG highway.

Its size is another advantage. The Encore GX seats five but measures just over 14 feet long, making it easy to park and maneuver around Kansas City or Des Moines. At the same time, the SUV body gives you a higher seating position and more cargo flexibility than a traditional compact sedan.

Technology includes Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, navigation, Bluetooth, keyless entry, push-button start, Wi-Fi hotspot capability, smart-device remote start, and a backup camera.

Remote start is particularly useful during Midwest winters or hot summer afternoons. Start the Encore GX before you head outside and have the vehicle beginning to warm up or cool down before your drive.

There’s also a strong safety package for a vehicle in this price range. Blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert help when changing lanes or backing out of busy parking spaces. Forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, and lane-keeping assistance add another layer of driver assistance.

Who should consider an Encore GX? It could be a great fit for someone downsizing from a larger SUV, a commuter who wants AWD without sacrificing fuel economy, a first-time SUV buyer, a college student, or a couple who wants something more upscale than the typical small crossover.

At $23,000, compare it with a Chevrolet Trailblazer or Trax, Ford Escape, Honda HR-V, Toyota Corolla Cross, Subaru Crosstrek, Hyundai Kona, Kia Seltos, Nissan Kicks, or Mazda CX-30. The Buick’s combination of AWD, turbocharged power, technology, and more premium positioning gives it a different personality.
