2025 Buick Encore GX Preferred

2025 Buick Encore GX Preferred AWD – Newer SUV for $22,000

If your vehicle budget is around $20,000-$25,000, you don't have to settle for an older SUV. This 2025 Buick Encore GX Preferred gives you AWD, turbocharged power, modern safety technology, navigation, remote start, and 28 MPG highway for $22,000 before tax, title, and registration.

That's the story with this particular Encore GX: a lot of model year for the money.

It has 40,607 miles and is finished in Summit White with an Ebony interior. It's also a CARFAX One-Owner vehicle with a Clean CARFAX.

The 1.3L ECOTEC turbocharged engine produces 155 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque at just 1,600 RPM. It's paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission and AWD, giving you a combination that works particularly well for Missouri and Iowa driving.

AWD provides additional traction when winter brings snow and ice or when you're dealing with rain and gravel roads. Yet you don't have to drive a large SUV to get it. This Encore GX is rated at 26 MPG city and 28 MPG highway.

Its compact dimensions are another advantage. At about 171 inches long, the Encore GX is easy to park and maneuver in Kansas City or Des Moines while still providing five-passenger seating, an SUV-style driving position, and useful cargo flexibility.

This Buick also gives you technology you might not expect at $22,000. Equipment includes navigation, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, keyless entry, push-button start, Wi-Fi hotspot capability, remote start, and a backup camera.

Remote start becomes particularly useful when Midwest weather swings from freezing winter mornings to 90-degree summer afternoons. Start the Buick before heading outside and give the cabin time to begin warming up or cooling down.

Driver-assistance features include blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, and lane-keeping assistance.

For someone shopping primarily by monthly budget or purchase price, this Encore GX deserves to be compared with more than other Buicks. At $22,000, you may also be considering a Chevrolet Trailblazer or Trax, Ford Escape, Subaru Crosstrek, Honda HR-V, Toyota Corolla Cross, Hyundai Kona, Kia Seltos, Nissan Kicks, or even a late-model sedan.

The Encore GX gives you another option: a 2025 model with AWD and Buick's more premium positioning while staying close to the price of many basic used crossovers.
