Thinking of buying a small SUV in Woodbridge, Virginia? Come to Koons Woodbridge Buick GMC to view the 2021 Buick Encore GX in person. Besides being a fun-to-drive vehicle, this popular crossover has one of the best cabins in the subcompact SUV segment. From roomy seats to excellent tech features, it has everything it takes to provide a comfortable and enjoyable ride for you and your passengers. Check out this detailed guide to the interior of the 2021 Buick Encore GX.

Build and Design

The 2021 Buick Encore GX boasts a solidly built interior that features a modern and streamlined design. The crossover has a wing-like dashboard that echoes its grille, which gives it a cohesive look and feel. You’ll also find plenty of soft-touch materials in the cabin, especially on the armrests and door panels. The interior of the base trim is simple and pleasing to the eye, while the higher-end versions exude style and sophistication with faux etched-metal trim and upholstered dashboard panels. 

This Buick SUV has an airy cabin that provides good outward visibility for every occupant. Also, its infotainment system and physical controls are located within easy reach of the driver, so you can operate them without taking your eyes off the road. Acoustic-laminated windshields and side windows and sound-deadening materials contribute to a remarkably quiet and tranquil ride. 

Seating

A maximum of five people can sit in the Buick Encore GX. Despite its small size, this SUV offers surprisingly generous legroom and headroom in both rows of seats. Most adults will be able to sit comfortably in the back row, which is uncommon for a subcompact crossover. The well-cushioned and ergonomic seats ensure you and your passengers will have a pleasant ride even on long-distance trips. 

The base Encore GX comes standard with cloth upholstery. However, if you opt for a higher trim, you can get upgrades such as leather upholstery, power-adjustable front seats, heated front seats, and a heated steering wheel.

Cargo Space

A combination of spacious seating and generous cargo space makes the Buick Encore GX one of the best subcompact SUVs for road trips. If you leave both rows of seats up, you’ll have 23.5 cubic feet of storage space. Folding down the rear seats will increase the cargo capacity to an impressive 50.2 cubic feet, which is enough for about 15 carry-on suitcases. These figures are the highest in the segment. Regardless of which trim level you choose, you have the option of adding a hands-free power lift-gate for convenient loading and unloading. 

Comfort and Convenience Features

The Buick Encore GX is also equipped with a variety of cabin features to provide greater comfort and convenience for you and your passengers. It offers automatic climate control, push-button start, and proximity keyless entry as standard equipment. 

If you move up to a higher trim level or opt for one of the available packages, you can gain access to additional features such as dual-zone automatic climate control, remote start, a moon-roof, and an air-purifying system. Remote start is worth your consideration if you reside in an area that experiences extremely cold winters. It enables you to start your SUV’s engine and climate control system from inside your home so that the cabin will be properly warmed up before you step outside.

Infotainment Features

Another appealing aspect of the 2021 Buick Encore GX is that it comes with a long list of infotainment features to help you stay connected and entertained behind the wheel. It’s fitted with the latest Buick Infotainment System, which allows you to access weather forecasts and audio functions, connect your smartphone to your vehicle, make calls using voice commands, check your rearview camera, and much more. This system is specially designed to work like a smartphone or tablet and features a clear and responsive display and intuitive menus. 

Every model of the Buick Encore GX offers an 8-inch touch-screen display, four USB ports, a Wi-Fi hot spot, a six-speaker sound system, satellite radio, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Bluetooth. If you want to improve your in-vehicle experience, you can get available features such as a seven-speaker Bose audio system, a wireless device charger, HD radio, and navigation. 

Driver-Assistance Features

In addition, the 2021 Buick Encore GX has a larger selection of active safety features than most other subcompact SUVs on the market. These features play a vital role in helping you stay safe on the road as they can improve your situational awareness and ability to detect and avoid road hazards. 

The Encore GX comes standard with forward-collision alert, automatic emergency braking, pedestrian monitoring, automatic high-beam headlamps, lane-keeping assistance, lane-departure alert, a rearview camera, and teen-driver monitoring. It also offers many available features for even greater safety, including blind-spot detection, adaptive cruise control, lane-changing warning, front and rear parking sensors, rear cross-traffic warning, perpendicular and parallel parking assistance, a surround-view parking camera system, and a head-up display. 

Trim Levels and Packages

The 2021 Buick Encore GX comes in three trim levels: the base Preferred, Select, and the top-of-the-line Essence. The entry-level model has a starting manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $24,200, while the Select costs at least $25,800. If you decide to buy the Essence, you’ve to be prepared to spend a minimum of $28,600. 

Additionally, this Buick model has a wide range of packages to meet the individual needs and preferences of different drivers. These include the Cold Weather Comfort package, Safety package, Sport Touring package, Experience Buick package, Convenience package, and Advanced Technology package. Some of these packages are standard on higher trims.
