First Generation
GM launched the Encore GX for the Chinese market in mid-2019 as a 2020 model. Sales of the Encore GX commence in North America in early 2020.
Despite its visual and nomenclatural similarities to the Encore, the Encore GX is a completely unrelated product. It is one of the first GM vehicles to utilize the VSS-F Vehicle Set, along with its corporate cousin, the Chevrolet Trailblazer.
The size of the Buick Encore GX is subcompact-plus, meaning that it slots between the subcompact Encore and the compact Envision.
Subcompact | Subcompact Plus | Compact | Midsize | Full-Size |
---|---|---|---|---|
Encore | Encore GX | Envision | Enclave (China) | Enclave (North America) |
The Encore GX is built at two plants around the world:
- GM Bupyeong plant in South Korea produces the crossover for North America
- SAIC-GM Dongyue South plant in China produces the crossover for China

Future Models
At this time, our intel indicates that the current Buick Encore GX will remain in production through at least the 2025 model year. The vehicle will likely undergo a refresh for the 2024 model year.
Notably, it’s very likely the Encore GX’s smaller sibling – the Encore – will be discontinued following the 2022 model year. It will be indirectly replaced by a similarly sized battery-electric Buick crossover model, which is expected to arrive for the 2025 model year. Future battery-electric Buick models will ride on GM’s BEV3 platform and will utilize Ultium lithium-ion batteries and Ultium Drive electric motors.
