While the Encore GX is a small SUV, its capability is impressively mighty.
Towing and Hauling: When properly equipped with the available trailer hitch, the 2026 Buick Encore GX achieves a maximum towing capacity of up to 1,000 lbs. This is the perfect amount of utility to haul a small utility trailer for weekend DIY projects or securely attach a heavy-duty bike rack.
Available Intelligent AWD: You never have to fear slick roads again. The available All-Wheel Drive system actively monitors traction and distributes power between the front and rear wheels to optimize grip in rain, sleet, or snow. AWD models also upgrade to a smooth-shifting 9-speed automatic transmission.
The exterior of the 2026 Encore GX commands attention. It proudly wears Buick’s new modern design language, featuring the updated tri-shield badge prominently displayed on the front fascia. Signature LED headlamps and daytime running lights provide brilliant visibility and a sharp, forward-leaning look.
Practical utility is woven into the design with an available hands-free power liftgate that allows you to access the cargo area with a simple kicking motion beneath the rear bumper.

Step inside the Encore GX, and the noise of the outside world melts away. Thanks to Buick’s renowned QuietTuning™ technology, the cabin uses acoustic laminated glass and active noise cancellation to create a remarkably peaceful driving environment.
When it comes to cargo, the Encore GX is a master of versatility. You get 23.5 cubic feet of space behind the second row for your daily gear. Fold the rear seats flat to unlock 50.2 cubic feet of maximum cargo capacity. Need to haul lumber, a surfboard, or a rug? The Encore GX features a standard fold-flat front passenger seat, allowing you to accommodate items up to 8 feet long with the tailgate closed.
