How much does the 2024 Buick Encore GX cost?

Prices have softened 5.08% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 3,801 listings available, which suggests solid inventory for shoppers comparing prices and trims.

If you find a listing below $21,869.33, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2024 Buick Encore GX a good car?

Yes — the 2024 Buick Encore GX earns a 5/5 user rating and a 7.67/10 expert rating.

The model scores 8/10 across Look and feel, Form and function, Cost effectiveness, and Safety.

Buick’s refreshed design gives you a handsome subcompact crossover with a premium-looking cabin presentation, a smooth ride, and impressive cargo space for the segment. The trade-offs are that the new touchscreen can feel underwhelming and performance is only adequate rather than quick.

The market also looks reasonably supportive, with 33.5% of listings marked as good or great deals.

Is the 2024 Buick Encore GX reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The Encore GX is presented as economical, comfortable, and straightforward, which points to an ownership experience centered on ease rather than complexity. Its powertrain is described as decent and responsive enough for everyday use, and the ride is smooth over rough pavement.

Buick also includes a free first vehicle service with an oil change, inspection, and tire rotation, which helps reduce early ownership costs.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that a vehicle with a simple, comfort-first mission may still show wear if maintenance history is incomplete, so service records matter.

What should I look for when buying a used 2024 Buick Encore GX?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 89.1% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a vehicle history report, confirm the trim and equipment match the listing, and prioritize a close inspection of the touchscreen, cabin materials, and overall condition. Because this model’s appeal depends heavily on comfort and features, you’ll want to make sure the interior and electronics feel as good as the photos suggest.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base setup gives you the refreshed exterior and premium-looking interior layout, but some of the more upscale visual touches and lighting details are reserved for higher trims.
• Powertrain: You can get a 1.2-liter three-cylinder with 137 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque, or upgrade to a 1.3-liter turbocharged three-cylinder with 155 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque. Front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive are both offered, and the turbo engine pairs with a nine-speed automatic.
• Safety package: Buick’s Driver Confidence package is standard and includes lane-keeping assist, lane-departure warning, automatic emergency braking, forward collision alert, a following distance indicator, automatic high beams, and blind-spot monitoring. Rear park assist, rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, and a 360-degree camera are extra.
• Infotainment: You get an 11-inch touchscreen with an 8-inch digital gauge cluster, plus wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. USB-A and USB-C ports are included, and a wireless charging pad and 120-volt outlet are available.
• Fuel efficiency: The EPA rates the front-wheel-drive setup at 30 mpg combined, while all-wheel drive with the 1.3-liter engine drops to 27 mpg combined. Real-world testing returned 31.3 mpg over 363 miles.

Which 2024 Buick Encore GX trim should I buy?

The 2024 Buick Encore GX is offered in 3 trim levels: Preferred, Sport Touring, and Avenir.

Here's the short version:

• Base trim: Preferred gives you the entry point to the refreshed Encore GX, but you’ll miss some of the more upscale visual touches and higher-end presentation found above it.
• Sweet-spot trim: Sport Touring is the best middle-ground choice if you want a more distinctive look without jumping all the way to the top trim.
• Premium/top trim: Avenir adds the most upscale appearance, including its own unique grille and chrome trim, and it’s the trim that best showcases the model’s premium side.

Buick’s Driver Confidence package is standard across the lineup, so you’re not forced into a higher trim just to get core driver-assistance features.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2024 Buick Encore GX?

What is the 2024 Buick Encore GX's resale value?

The current average of $22,505 sits slightly below last year's $23,710.

That softer pricing suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy at a more favorable entry point today. For a future seller, that also means resale value may depend more on condition, mileage, and equipment than on broad market momentum alone.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2024 Buick Encore GX safe?

The 2024 Buick Encore GX earns a five-star overall rating from NHTSA, including five-star ratings for frontal crash and side crash and a four-star rating for rollover.

It earns a 8/10 safety score from our experts.

Should I buy a 2024 Buick Encore GX or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2024 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2024 if:

• 33.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 89.1% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.08% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2024 brings a refreshed look, a new touchscreen, and the first Avenir trim.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $21,441, the 2023 costs less than the current year's $22,505 average.
• It offers a practical, straightforward crossover with comfortable seating and plenty of cargo space.

The bottom line: If you want the newer styling, updated tech, and broader trim choice, the 2024 is the better all-around pick. If your priority is spending less up front, the 2023 is the smarter value play, especially if you can find one in strong condition with the equipment you want.
