2020 Buick Encore GX Kenosha, WI
With the Cascada and LaCrosse soon heading off to greener pastures, it’s encouraging to see a new Buick model being added to the fold. That would be the upcoming 2020 Buick Encore GX as a new level of SUV.
Essentially, the 2020 Buick Encore GX will act as a beefed-up version of the Encore in both size and power, placing it between the Encore and the Envision in the Buick SUV catalog. A good comparison in terms of changes between the Encore and the Encore GX would be the Nissan Rogue Sport and Rogue, or the Hyundai Santa Fe and Santa Fe XL. Just in case the pictures don’t do it justice, those who have seen the Buick Encore GX at its auto show premieres describe it as similar in size to the Jeep Compass.
