For the 2024 model year, the Buick Encore GX received a host of updates to its exterior styling, list of technology features, and trim lineup. Now, GM Authority has learned when production of the 2025 Buick Encore GX will officially kick off.
Sources familiar with the matter have told GM Authority that the SORP of the 2025 Encore GX is currently scheduled for April 1st, 2024. In the same vein, production of the current 2024 Buick Encore GX is expected to conclude on March 31st, 2023.
Of course, it’s important to keep in mind that these dates are tentative in nature and subject to change, just as we’ve seen with the SORP of the 2024 Chevy Colorado and 2024 GMC Canyon.
No major changes are expected for the 2025 Buick Encore GX following the prior model year’s mid-cycle refresh. To this end, the Tri-Shield’s subcompact crossover features an exterior design language inspired from the Buick Wildcat EV concept vehicle and the all-electric Buick Electra E5 crossover. Furthermore, the Encore GX was the first Buick product in North America to boast the new Tri-Shield logo design.
New technology goodies are aplenty, including Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, IntelliBeam auto high beams, Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert, and Adaptive Cruise Control. In addition, the Virtual Cockpit System is equipped as standard fare.
Under the hood lies either the turbocharged 1.2L I3 LIH gasoline engine, rated at 137 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque, or the available turbocharged 1.3L I3 L3T gasoline engine, rated at 155 horsepower and 174 pound-feet of torque. Transmission options consist of either a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) when configured with FWD, or the GM nine-speed automatic when configured with AWD.
In regard to structure, the Encore GX rides on the GM VSS-F vehicle set, while production takes place at the GM Bupyeong plant in South Korea.

Like the Trailblazer, there’s absolutely no reason to push the ’25s earlier than September. No changes expected, so why? Just to raise the already overpriced price? Spring intros are the stomping grounds for Hyundai/Kia and they do it just for the raise price reason, but it’s OBNOXIOUS.
