The 2021 Buick encore GX comes in the same three standard trim levels as last year, each offered with two powertrain options. A 1.2L, 3-cylinder putting out 137hp that has been coupled to a CVT comes in as the standard option while a higher output 1.3L, 3-cylinder mill coupled with a 9-speed automatic comes in as an option. The former powertrain option only comes in a front-wheel-driven configuration while the latter comes only in AWD format. The base price for the 1.2 turbo starts from around $24,200 while the same trim with the 1.3 turbo engine will cost you $26,200. At this price range, the 2020 Buick encore GX will be going against the likes of popular compact SUVs like the Hyundai Kona, the Honda HR-V, and the Mazda CX-3.
