Affordable Luxury from Buick

Can you find a luxury vehicle at your local Buick dealer? Yes, you can, and that vehicle can be filled with the items you want while being offered to you at an affordable price.
The Buick brand has been in the premium area of the market for many years, but there is one trim name that reaches into the luxury levels of driving. That trim name is Avenir. The question then becomes whether or not all of the Buick SUVs offer you the benefits of this top trim level to give you the qualities you’re looking for on the road.

The Buick Encore has One Trim Level

The place you won’t find the Avenir trim is in the Buick Encore. Before you get confused, there are two different models of the Encore and the one that does not have GX after its name has been pared down to one trim level. When you choose the smallest of the Buick SUVs, you’ll have only the Preferred trim of the Encore for your drive.
This trim gives you a good list of equipment for the drive. You’ll enjoy:

• 18-inch alloy wheels
• Roof Rails
• Keyless entry
• Push-button starting
• Single-zone air conditioning
• Active noise canceling
• Leather-wrapped steering wheel
• Cloth/simulated leather upholstery
• Six-way power-adjustable driver’s seat
• 7-inch touchscreen
• Apple CarPlay
• Android Auto
• Two USB ports
• Satellite radio
• Six-speaker audio system

You will find a few options for this SUV when you visit your local Buick dealer. These options include:

• AWD
• Powered moonroof
• Remote engine starter
• Roof rack cross rails
• All-weather Mats

While this version isn’t exactly a luxury model, you do have a long list of impressive items that will give you the driving experience you want. The Buick Encore is powered by a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine that makes 155 horsepower and 177 lb.-ft. of torque. Will this be the Buick that’s right for you?

Three Trims for the Buick Encore GX, but Still no Avenir Name

Although the Buick Encore GX gives you more room and more options, you still don’t see the luxurious name of Avenir in the mix. Even so, you’ll find the Preferred, Select, and Essence trims each give you their own flavor of driving excellence for your time behind the wheel. If you choose the Essence trim, which is the top model, you’ll find some items that reach into luxury levels of driving.
The Buick Encore GX Essence offers:

• LED headlights/taillights
• Memory settings for the driver’s seat and side mirrors
• Heated steering wheel
• 8-way power front passenger seat
• Leather upholstery
• Self-dimming rearview mirror
• 120-volt power outlet
• Cabin air ionizer
• Advanced Technology Package
• Optional AWD

The Advanced Technology Package gives you a 360-degree camera system, a navigation system, adaptive cruise control rear parking sensors, and a head-up display. This trim can also be had with the Convenience Package, which adds rain-sensing wipers, wireless device charging, a rear camera mirror, and automatic parking.
The features for the Essence trim are in addition to what you find in the Preferred and Select trims, making it a vehicle that offers you a complete package for your drive. This top grim of the Buick Encore GX is also powered by a 1.3-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine that makes 155 horsepower and 174 lb.-ft. of torque.
