Frequently Asked Questions About the 2026 Buick Encore GX
Q: What is the fuel economy difference between FWD and AWD trims?
The front-wheel drive Avenir and Sport Touring both have an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 29 MPG in the city, 31 on the highway, and 30 combined while the The Preferred's is 22 in the city, 23 on the highway, and 22 combined due to its smaller engine. All three trims in all-wheel drive configurations, however, have a fuel rating of 26 in the city, 28 on the highway, and 27 combined.
Q: Does the Encore GX have enough cargo space for an active lifestyle?
With about 23.5 cu ft of cargo space behind the rear seats and about 50 cu ft with the rear bench folded, the Encore GX handles most active-lifestyle gear. That's enough room for two adult bicycles with the rear seats down, a full weekend of camping supplies, or the kind of mixed load that comes with a day at Red Mountain Park followed by a stop at a farmers market.
Q: What safety features come standard on every trim?
All six trims include:
- Ten airbags
- Forward Collision Alert
- Automatic emergency braking with low-speed front braking
- Lane KeepAssist with Lane Departure Warning
- Side Blind Zone Alert
- Rear Cross Traffic Alert
- ABS
- Electronic stability control
- Teen Driver technology
This model also possesses available adaptive cruise control and HD Surround Vision through the Avenir Technology Package on said trim.
