    2023 Buick Encore GX Select FWD: Refined Efficiency for the Modern Central Illinois Commuter

    The 2023 Buick Encore GX Select FWD represents a sophisticated intersection of premium comfort and nimble versatility, making it the ideal companion for those navigating the scenic routes of East-Central Illinois. Imagine starting your morning in the quiet, historic neighborhood of Shelbyville, IL, where the morning mist still clings to the fields. As you merge onto the highway, this compact SUV provides a serene sanctuary, insulating you from the world outside while offering the elevated driving position you desire. Whether you are heading into the office or meeting friends for a weekend brunch, the Encore GX carries an air of understated elegance that fits perfectly into the local landscape.

    In a community like Charleston, IL, where the energy of the university meets the charm of a historic downtown, having a vehicle that is both stylish and easy to park is a significant advantage. This Buick is designed for the driver who appreciates the finer things but requires a vehicle that can keep up with a busy, multi-faceted lifestyle. From the polished exterior finish to the meticulously crafted cabin, every detail has been engineered to provide a premium experience without the bulk of a full-sized SUV. It is a vehicle that feels just as at home parked near the courthouse square as it does cruising along the open stretches of road that connect our local communities.

    Choosing a pre-owned luxury-inspired SUV means you do not have to compromise on modern amenities or curb appeal. This specific model, finished in a striking metallic hue, offers a contemporary aesthetic that stands out in any setting. For those who value a vehicle that reflects their personal success and attention to detail, the Encore GX Select is a compelling choice that delivers on the promise of the Buick nameplate.

    Performance & Capability

    Under the hood of the 2023 Buick Encore GX Select FWD lies the sophisticated ECOTEC 1.3L I-3 gasoline direct injection engine. This advanced powerplant utilizes a DOHC configuration and variable valve control to optimize performance across the rev range. The inclusion of an intercooled turbo ensures that you have responsive power when you need it, delivering a spirited 155HP that makes merging onto busy interstates near Effingham, IL, a stress-free experience. This engine is paired with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), which provides seamless gear transitions and helps maintain the engine in its most efficient power band.

    The Front Wheel Drive architecture is perfectly suited for the flat to gently rolling terrain found throughout the region. Whether you are navigating the grid-like streets of Arcola, IL, or enjoying a drive through the open countryside, the Ride and Handling Suspension works diligently to soak up road imperfections. The front end features an Independent front suspension with a Strut front suspension design, while the rear utilizes a Semi-independent torsion beam rear suspension. This combination results in a planted, confident feel that minimizes body roll and maximizes driver comfort.

    Efficiency is a hallmark of this powertrain, with an EPA-estimated 29 city MPG and 32 highway MPG. This makes it an excellent choice for long-distance commutes or weekend road trips across the state. To further enhance fuel economy, the vehicle is equipped with a Start-stop engine system that automatically shuts off the engine when idling at stoplights and restarts it instantly when you lift your foot off the brake. For those who prefer a more traditional feel, a stop/start system disable switch is also provided. The Aluminum engine block and cylinder head material keep the front end light, contributing to the vehicles agile handling characteristics.

    Technology & Connectivity

    In todays world, staying connected is not a luxuryâ€"it is a necessity. The 2023 Buick Encore GX Select FWD is equipped with an 8 inch Diagonal Buick Infotainment System that serves as the nerve center for your mobile office or entertainment hub. This high-resolution Primary monitor touchscreen offers intuitive controls and crisp graphics, making it easy to manage your media and vehicle settings. With Smart device wireless mirroring, you can seamlessly integrate your compatible smartphone to access your favorite apps, music, and messaging services without the clutter of tangled cords.

    The driver is kept informed via a 4.2 inch diagonal multi-color display located within the gauge cluster. This Analog instrumentation display provides vital vehicle data, including an ECO feedback display gauge to help you monitor your driving efficiency in real-time. For those long drives between Paris, IL, and the surrounding areas, the OnStar Turn-by-Turn Navigation system provides clear, concise directions to ensure you arrive at your destination on time. The audio experience is handled by a 6-speaker system with an Automatic audio equalizer, delivering rich sound quality whether you are listening to a podcast or your favorite playlist.

    Connectivity is further enhanced with 4 USB ports, including 1 USB Type-C and 1 USB Type-A in the front row, ensuring that all passengers can keep their devices charged. The vehicle is also Wi-Fi Hotspot capable, allowing your passengers to stay productive or entertained on the go. For hands-free operation, the Handsfree Bluetooth handsfree wireless device connectivity and Voice activated audio controls allow you to keep your hands on the Leather and chrome steering wheel and your eyes on the road. Whether you are using Pandora internet radio capability or the standard AM/FM/SiriusXM satellite radio, the technology in this Buick is designed to be user-friendly and highly functional.

    Comfort & Interior

    Step inside the cabin, and you are greeted by an atmosphere of refined comfort, featuring an Ebony w/Ebony Accents interior color scheme. The Cloth and leatherette front seat upholstery provides a durable yet premium feel, perfectly suited for the daily demands of life in Central Illinois. The drivers environment is highly customizable, featuring a Power driver seat with 8-way directional controls, including 2-way power lumbar support, cushion tilt, and height adjustment. Even during the coldest winter mornings in Arcola, IL, you will stay warm thanks to the Heated driver and front passenger seats.

    Buicks commitment to a peaceful driving experience is evident in the QuietTuning technology. This exclusive process uses Active noise cancellation, an Acoustically enhanced windshield, and Laminated side window glass to block and absorb unwanted road and wind noise, creating a quiet interior cabin where conversation flows easily. The Dual-zone automatic climate control allows both the driver and front passenger to set their preferred temperatures, while Rear under seat climate control ducts ensure that those in the back remain comfortable throughout the journey.

    Versatility is a core strength of the Encore GX interior. The 60-40 folding rear seats and a Fold flat front passenger seat allow you to transport longer items that might not fit in a traditional sedan. The Multi-level cargo floor and Cargo area concealed storage provide clever solutions for organizing your gear, while the Rigid cargo cover keeps your valuables out of sight. Loading and unloading is made effortless by the Hands-Free Power Liftgate, which can be activated with a simple kicking motion under the rear bumperâ€"a lifesaver when your hands are full after a shopping trip in Charleston, IL.

    Safety & Driver Assistance

    Safety is paramount in the design of the 2023 Buick Encore GX Select FWD. It comes equipped with a comprehensive suite of driver assistance technologies designed to provide peace of mind on every journey. The Forward Collision Alert with Automatic Emergency Braking and Front Pedestrian Braking act as an extra set of eyes, helping to mitigate or avoid potential impacts. When cruising on the highway, the Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning provides gentle steering corrections if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane without a signal.

    Navigating busy parking lots or changing lanes on the interstate is safer thanks to the Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert and Rear Cross Traffic Alert. These systems provide visual and audible warnings when other vehicles are detected in your blind spots or approaching from the side while in reverse. The Rear Vision Camera provides a clear view of the area behind the vehicle, making backing into tight spaces a simple task. For those with younger drivers in the family, the Teen Driver mode allows you to activate customizable vehicle settings associated with a key fob to encourage safe driving habits.

    The structural integrity of the Encore GX is supported by Fully galvanized steel body panels with side impact beams and a total of 10 airbags, including Knee airbags for the driver and front passenger and Curtain first and second-row overhead airbags. The StabiliTrak electronic stability control system and All-speed ABS and driveline traction control ensure the vehicle remains composed in adverse weather conditions. Additionally, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System with Tire Fill Alert makes it easy to maintain proper inflation, ensuring optimal safety and performance as you travel through Shelbyville, IL.

    Exterior & Design

    The exterior of this 2023 Buick Encore GX Select FWD is finished in a sophisticated Moonstone Gray Metallic, a color that highlights the vehicles sculpted lines and modern proportions. The front fascia is defined by a Colored grille and Signature LED daytime running lights, giving it a distinctive and upscale appearance. LED front fog lights are integrated into the lower bumper, providing enhanced visibility during early morning commutes or foggy evenings. The vehicle sits proudly on 18 x 7-inch silver w/painted accents aluminum wheels wrapped in 225/55R18 All-Season BW Tires, striking the perfect balance between style and ride comfort.

    Functional design elements are woven throughout the exterior. Roof rails provide the capability to carry extra gear for outdoor adventures, while the Rear lip spoiler adds a touch of athletic flair. The Active grille shutters automatically adjust to optimize aerodynamics and engine cooling, improving overall efficiency. For added convenience, the Heated power-adjustable door mirrors help clear frost and fog quickly, ensuring you have a clear view of your surroundings before you even leave your driveway in Paris, IL.

    The Chrome side window trim and Body-colored door mirrors contribute to a cohesive and polished look. The Deep-tinted windows not only provide privacy for rear passengers but also help keep the interior cool during the warm Illinois summers. Small details, such as the Remote activated perimeter approach lighting, provide an extra sense of security when approaching the vehicle at night. From every angle, the Encore GX exudes a sense of quality and refinement that is synonymous with the Buick brand.

      A great, small SUV

      by Bob H on 2/10/2026 8:59:18 PM

      Overall a great, small SUV. 1.3L turbo engine is surprisingly responsive and gas mileage is great @ 26+ mpg just driving around town. Highway add 3 easily. Takes regular gas as well. Holds plenty of items for 2 people even if back seats are not folded down. Do that you are good to go! I am 6’2”, 190lbs and seating is comfortable. Still haven’t sat in passenger or rear but I am confident they are comfortable.

      Very happy with our 2024 Encore GX Cute Ute !!

      by TerryM on 5/14/2025 12:22:16 AM

      My wife and I are very pleased with our 2024 Encore GX purchased used w/ only 2500 mi on the clock. The Encore GX is one of the current Buick lineup of 3 small SUVs for about $25k; I suspect these hidden gems are unknown to many Americans. Unfortunately Buick's focus on China has resulted in the Buick brand being all but forgotten in the US. The NHTSA has given a ***** Overall Safety Rating to the 2024 GX. I have one negative with the Encore -- I'm 6'-1" and the Encore is small for me. Some call the cabin "surprisingly roomy" for a sub-compact suv. Truth be said IT'S JUST SMALL. Likes * 1.2L Turbo engine surprisingly strong in city driving * Entry-level luxury at a moderate price * Fun to drive (some call it boring) * Lots and lots and ... of safety features * Excellent mileage (30+ mpg) for an ICE SUV * Sits up high (as a SUV should!) due to 18" wheels * Quiet cabin due to Buick's QuietTuning technology * Heated seats, steering wheel, outside mirrors * Physical buttons/knobs for radio, climate controls -great * Power hatch/liftgate w/ kick plate - very handy * Traction & Stability control Dislikes * 1.2L Turbo engine is somewhat challenged on the highway * Design same-same as every other small SUV on the road * Seats are narrow, hard and uncomfortable * Road noise is worse than expected for a Buick * Small cargo area w/o rear seat backs down * Insufficient legroom in back seats * Insufficient rear headroom for tall persons * AM/FM/Satellite radio difficult to program * VERY sensitive brakes and accelerator
