Looking at the 2026 Buick Encore GX, you get two solid engine options in this compact SUV. The 1.3-liter turbocharged engine puts out 155 horsepower along with 174 pound-feet of torque. There is also a 1.2-liter flex-fuel turbocharged engine that runs on regular gas or E85, producing 137 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque. Lowell drivers can pick between a CVT or a 9-speed automatic transmission based on their driving preferences.
Drivetrain choices add another layer of flexibility here. Front-wheel drive (FWD) models get up to 30 MPG combined, which helps stretch your fuel budget further. Michigan roads can get tricky during certain seasons, so the available all-wheel drive (AWD) system with Driver Mode Selector becomes a smart choice. Even with AWD, fuel economy stays reasonable at 27 MPG combined.
The optional Trailering Package includes a trailer hitch, trailering harness, and bezel for hauling gear. Visit Baker Buick GMC Lowell at 746 W Main St to check out what this SUV can do.
