2024 Buick Encore gx Avenir has ONE Big Problem :All Specs & Test Drive

In this full #review I will explain all the specs of the 2024 #Buick #Encore #GX #Avenir then take it for a test drive. The Encore is all-new for 2024 and Buick adds new logos, better tech with 2 engine options but they still have quirks which will bring me to my pros and cons.

Thanks for reviewing an Encore GX FWD CVT with the 1.3L. Most of the reviews are on the Encore AWD/9sp Auto model. FWD for me is adequate for most winter days especially since winters are milder since the 1970-1990s (Rochester/Finger Lakes region). As a teen in the 70s I never got stuck in the snow or lost control w/ my pop's rear-wheel drive cars either the 72 Dodge stationwagon or mom's 73 Ford Maverick (3-on-the-tree manual) lol. We had snow tires. We used to put extra weight in trunk or wagon to aid traction. With FWD engine does that for us. I still swap All-Season tires to Blizzaks snows each Nov and back in May on a 10 yr old Camry. Still never been stranded on snow or ice. :-) Keep up the good work Hawkeye.

[@HawkeyeRides]

I agree we lived in the mountains for near 10 years with RWD plus fwd vehicles when we bought awd it was awesome but it was over kill. Only one year we had a huge blazed and the awd helped a lot but for one year 😁. Thanks for sharing your experience with us 👍

[@cgmiddle]

Good point. As it turns out, the AWD fad is a hoax and money grab. AWD vehicles are simply not safer than FWD. The two major factors in safety are driver skill and appropriate tires. We would like every KZbinr to start including this type of information in their videos.

[@dansmusic5749]

This is a good review.

[@HawkeyeRides]

Thank you

[@j_bubblez279]

I think if they extend it to the same length of the trailblazer, they will be on the money with the improvements they can make with that little extra space

[@HawkeyeRides]

More space is always good 👍

[@luxman9463]

It’s not gonna change until the next redo, probably 4-6 years.

[@spol1622]

For its class, its size is OK.

[@dwaynejeffery3115]

Great video ! I don't think this is a comparison to the TRAX, maybe the TRAIL BLAZER. I do agree the antenna is way outdated looks like a remote control car antenna , kinda bunk for a 40000$ vehicle , Plus the driver instrument center is cheap and not very well done so much dead space. Other than that the Buick line up is doing well but they should be paying attention to detail a bit better. Cheers

[@HawkeyeRides]

They are nice 👍

[@cortezsaunders9531]

Soo my key fob doesn't have a remote start on it.. is this how the preferred body type come standard?

[@HawkeyeRides]

It’s an option on all trims

[@corneliusgarnerjr924]

Yes it does press the lock button twice and hold the arrow button

[@SueUTube]

So, the Big Con is GM offers lots of choices and this one is just below a Cadillac at a great price? 🤔

[@HawkeyeRides]

I said that plus that they hold back on giving the vehicle the full potential because of so many brands 👍

[@josephvoytus3694]

I thought his biggest con was the possibility of shoe scratches ? Was gonna buy one till that. 😅😂😅

[@victornoagbodji]

Not sure if you have an answer but how does this compare to the Mazda CX-30?

[@HawkeyeRides]

Yes is does

[@AxxinTheSupernova]

It has way less horsepower than the CX-30. Good for driving around town, if you do a lot of highway/interstate driving, may not be as good of an option

[@williamwagnstrom7950]

How long before we are tempted with a sporty two cylinder Buick? Pitiful.

[@HawkeyeRides]

😁 I don’t see that happening

[@martinz391]

my wife just leased this model and trim. coming from a 21 encore gx. what the hell happened to the infotainment. it's bigger but no navigation in stock, unless you connect your phone.

[@HawkeyeRides]

This is becoming the norm but it’s a cool vehicle congrats

[@jenjoestar.]

Is the 2016 encore a good car?

[@HawkeyeRides]

For the price yes, it’s hard to find anything that will match it 👍

[@pastoryoda2789]

Get a japanese car you won't regret it.

[@SebastianMonroe-yd3nu]

@@pastoryoda2789 thats not what ive read and heard

[@pastoryoda2789]

@@SebastianMonroe-yd3nu Don’t buy American cars

[@alexlee6487]

Can you get a wireless charging pad, parking sensors, and a 360 camera on this trim?

[@HawkeyeRides]

Optional like I say in the review and here is the spec sheet: www.buick.com/suvs/encore-gx/build-and-price/features/trims

[@tinamarie4708]

Really like the car but they need to improve the interior length and width. To small inside.

[@HawkeyeRides]

It’s a great vehicle 👍

[@gingerpoppins1429]

Where are we suppose to put our drinks? I don't see a compartment.

[@HawkeyeRides]

Cup holders in the center between the driver and passenger also the door has a holder 👍

[@CodysFan]

Front seats very narrow and squeak at 10k miles.

[@HawkeyeRides]

Thanks for your owners insight 👍

[@clbernier2]

Which VW can this go head to head with? None…and I like this car, but I’ll take a Taos over it.

[@HawkeyeRides]

It’s not everyone’s fav 👍

[@energistlisak]

I am buying either this or a sibaru crosstrek Saturday I'm trading a 2018 gti I drive 100 miles per day I need all weather friendly, good gas mileage and power to get out of the way of deer in the middle of the road Would this be a good fit?

[@HawkeyeRides]

@energistlisak I like the new Crosstrek better especially if you go wilderness it has more clearance, power and standard all wheel drive. I like the Buick at pricing but the Crosstrek is more capable. Congratulations and let us know which one you choice.

[@spol1622]

Taos is a very unreliable car. We can't tell how reliable this Buick will be yet, but most likely, it will be better than Taos.

[@clbernier2]

@@spol1622 …so is Audi and Porsche

[@jamieeisenhower1560]

😂 let's make vehicles in America again nobody likes a CVT transmission they need to fire the CEO from GM and put back the Lester and stuff that people want again sporty look with front-wheel drive is ridiculous and also a tiny little engine that doesn't get good gas mileage

[@HawkeyeRides]

It's not only the GM team its also the government that passes these changes.

[@jamieeisenhower1560]

@@HawkeyeRides yeah the CEO is put in there by Obama other La La Land of cleaning up the planet they're the most polluted disgraces the Democrat ran areas make-believe of green by destroying nature for their precious metals and Plastic Products California New York has the most pollution out in the sea the media doesn't talk about that cuz they're paid by the corruption today's cars are not designed to last they want them to be destroyed within 6 months to a year so you have to keep buying a new one that's not going green
