2022 Buick Encore GX Exterior It can be challenging when a child flies the coop for college or a home of their own, but it also offers parents a good opportunity. For one thing, it could mean ditching that cumbersome gas-guzzling minivan or oversized three-row SUV and picking up a more practical vehicle. Our Buick GMC dealership has a couple of models that could be perfect for you. 

Buick Encore GX

The Buick Encore GX is a nimble and easy-to-drive SUV that comes with your choice of efficient turbocharged engines. One yields 137 horsepower, while the other boasts 155 horsepower sent to your choice of front-wheel or all-wheel drive. Fuel economy for the former combination is 29 mpg city or 31 mpg highway*, while the latter returns identical fuel economy with front-wheel drive but shaves a couple of miles off with the heavier all-wheel-drive system optioned in. While it’s compact, this crossover seats five comfortably.

Buick Envision

The Buick Envision comes with a 228-horsepower 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine. Along with great power, this SUV offers superb handling and a very smooth ride. For its class, it has excellent fuel economy: 24 MPG in the city and 31 MPG on the highway. There’s seating for up to five people, and a power-adjustable driver’s seat and cloth upholstery with synthetic leather accents are standard.
