The Buick Encore GX continues to be a popular SUV in 2022. It offers some significant advantages over other SUVs and comes at an affordable price. If you’re looking to change vehicles within the next few months, you may want to wait for the 2023 model. Below, we’ll outline what to expect in the 2023 Buick Encore GX to help you decide if you’re going to wait for this model to come out.

What’s New With the Buick Encore GX in 2023?

For the upcoming 2023 model, Buick didn’t change much from the 2022 Encore GX. In fact, the only significant change is a new exterior color option. With the 2023 Encore GX, you can now select Moonstone Gray Metallic as your exterior color, a choice that wasn’t available in previous years. This color joins the other options: Summit White, White Frost Tricoat, Ebony Twilight Metallic, Rosewood Metallic, Sapphire Metallic, Satin Steel Metallic, Sunset Glow Metallic, and Cinnabar Metallic. The interior colors are also likely to remain the same, with options including Signet, Whisper Beige, and Ebony.

2023 Buick Encore GX Performance and Efficiency

Since the 2023 Buick Encore will be similar to the 2022 model, we have a good idea of what it will include. The Encore GX has two engine options to choose from. The base engine is a 1.2-liter turbocharged, producing 137 horsepower. Or there is a 1.3-liter turbocharged engine that results in 155 horsepower. If you choose the first engine option, you’ll get an automatic continuously variable transmission (CVT) and front-wheel drive. Opting for the more robust engine gets you a nine-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive.

Which engine you select also impacts your fuel efficiency. If you choose a configuration with the 1.3-liter engine, front-wheel drive, and CVT, you’ll get around 32 mpg on the highway. Choosing the 1.2-liter engine with the same setup results in 30 mpg, while the 1.3-liter and all-wheel drive produce 29 mpg on the highway.

2023 Buick Encore GX Interior Space and Comfort

One of the first things you’ll notice upon entering the 2023 Buick Encore GX is its spacious and luxurious cabin. The 2022 model featured leather upholstery, plenty of passenger space, and even heated seats for more comfort on those colder days. We expect the 2023 Buick Encore GX to offer similar features and the same familiar, comfortable interior.

You should also expect plenty of cargo space, as the 2022 Encore GX had 24 cubic feet of storage space. You’ll also be able to fold down the rear seats for more trunk space and the front passenger seat for storing longer items. If you’re looking for an SUV that can not only handle your weekend tasks but keep you comfortable on long road trips, the Buick Encore GX is an excellent option to consider.

2023 Buick Encore GX Entertainment Features

Another prominent feature inside the Buick Encore GX is the infotainment system, which has a touch screen in the center of the dashboard. This infotainment system allows you to control various vehicle settings and stream music. It also comes with both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, so you can connect your smart device and use your favorite media apps. A mobile Wi-Fi hotspot was also available on the 2022 Buick Encore GX, which we expect to also appear in the 2023 model.

2023 Buick Encore GX Safety Technology

One of the best aspects of the 2022 Buick Encore GX was the numerous safety features. Some of the standard features included with the 2022 model were:

  • Automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection.
  • Lane-departure warning.
  • Lane-keeping assist.

In addition to these standard features, there were various other optional safety features you could include. For example, you could add a 360-degree external camera system, a heads-up display, and adaptive cruise control. These features helped the 2022 Buick Encore GX secure a five-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. We expect the 2023 Buick Encore GX to have similar safety technologies available, meaning it should receive a similar safety score.

2023 Buick Encore GX Trims and MSRPs

Finally, we expect Buick to offer the Encore GX in several trim levels for 2023, similar to 2022. While prices for these trim levels have yet to be announced, they’ll likely compare to those of the 2022 model. Available trims for the 2022 Buick Encore GX and their respective MSRPs were:

  • 2022 Buick Encore GX Preferred: $25,395.
  • 2022 Buick Encore GX Select: $26,995.
  • 2022 Buick Encore GX Essence: $30,195.

Is the 2023 Buick Encore GX Right for You?

There’s much to look forward to with the 2023 Buick Encore GX. The 2022 Buick Encore GX was a significant upgrade to previous models, and the 2023 likely won’t undo these changes. If you’re looking for an affordable SUV with great all-around features, you should strongly consider getting the 2023 Buick Encore GX when it comes out. It has strong performance specs for its size, a spacious interior, and plenty of technology to make your rides more enjoyable and help keep you safe.
