Three Standout SUVs From Buick’s 2023 Lineup

Some automakers have a broad lineup of vehicles. These brands try to be all things to all people, offering cars, trucks, and SUVs in all shapes and sizes. Others realize that it is best to focus on one thing. This way, they can develop expertise in one particular category. One such manufacturer is Buick, which has continued to hone its craft in the SUV market for years, allowing it to stand out among its competition. This is best demonstrated by looking at three SUVs in its current lineup that rank among the best in their class. This is because Buick has carefully refined each model, ensuring it has the proper balance of luxury and performance.

At Ryan Buick GMC, we are proud to offer these three amazing SUVs from Buick. These models include the Encore GX, Envision, and Enclave, representing the culmination of years of focus on development. Back in 2019, the folks at Buick decided to stop building sedans, allowing the company to focus solely on designing SUVs for this continually growing market. Its results are three exceptional SUVs that provide everything you could want in a vehicle. They are not just roomy and luxurious but also equipped with innovative technology and features. This means that they are safe, fun to drive, and dependable. If you’re looking for a great Buick dealer that has these exceptional models in stock, we invite you to visit us at Ryan Buick GMC to experience them in person. Let’s look at these three SUVs and how they perfectly represent Buick’s continued dedication to innovating the SUV market.

The 2023 Buick Encore GX

Up until this year, Buick offered two different versions of the Encore. The base Encore was smaller than the more performance-oriented Buick Encore GX, which was first introduced in 2020. For 2023, Buick has chosen to go all in with the Encore GX as its subcompact SUV offering. This means you get a larger model with greater trunk space and a more powerful engine. Speaking of engines, Buick gives you a choice of two different engines on the 2023 Encore GX. Both feature three cylinders with a turbocharger to boost performance. This might seem odd to most folks who are used to dealing with four-cylinder engines, but Buick has shown how to get both exceptional fuel economy and solid performance out of a turbocharged engine with three cylinders.

The smaller engine is a 1.2-liter Turbo that produces 137 hp and 162 lb-ft of torque. The larger engine is a 1.3-liter Turbo that can deliver up to 155 hp and 174 lb-ft of torque. Each comes with a choice of a continuously variable transmission (CVT) or a 9-speed automatic transmission. In addition, while the Encore GX with the 1.2-liter engine is front-wheel drive only, the model with the 1.3-liter engine comes with a choice of front-wheel and all-wheel drive. One of the best things about the 2023 Encore GX is its fuel economy. If you choose a model with a 1.2-liter engine or the 1.3-liter engine with front-wheel drive, you will get an exceptional combined gas mileage of 30 MPG. Meanwhile, if you opt for available all-wheel drive, your fuel economy will drop slightly to 27 MPG combined.

Buick offers the 2023 Encore GX in three trim levels and one special edition. The Preferred is the base model, followed by the Select and the top trim Essence. There is also a Sport Touring edition, which is a special edition on the 2023 Envision and Enclave, as well. Buick also offers a number of standard and available features on the Encore GX. This includes the Buick infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, a panoramic moonroof, and a hands-free power liftgate.

The 2023 Buick Envision

The compact SUV field is one of the largest and most competitive in today’s automotive world. Still, one model stands out from the pack: the Buick Envision. This stylish and sporty compact SUV is full of advanced features that help it stand out from a very crowded field. This is impressive, considering that the Envision made its debut in 2016. The 2023 Envision comes equipped with a standard powertrain across all trim levels. This is a 2.0-liter EcoTec Turbo paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission. This combination provides up to 228 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. Not only does this give the Envision power to tow up to 1,500 lbs, but it also provides this compact SUV with impressive fuel economy, getting 31 MPG on the highway and 23 MPG in the city if you opt for front-wheel drive. Buick also offers the Envision with intelligent all-wheel drive with an active twin clutch to provide you with greater traction, which can come in handy when driving in inclement weather.

One thing you are sure to notice about the Envision is its interior style and comfort. Each model features QuietTuning technology to reduce outside sound as much as possible, so you and your passengers can enjoy the Buick infotainment system and relax in seats made from Soft-Touch premium materials to give everyone greater comfort. Buick also offers available heated seats and a heated steering wheel that can help on those cold mornings. The available massaging driver seat is also a must for anyone who plans to take their Envision on long drives. The 2023 Buick Envision is offered with three trim levels and one special edition. The base model is the Preferred, with the Essence providing a mid-level option. The top trim is the fully loaded Avenir, and the Sport Touring is a special edition designed for the driver who wants to get the most out of the Envision’s performance.

The 2023 Buick Enclave

An enclave is a safe and comfortable home, which best describes this midsize, three-row SUV. The 2023 Enclave provides seating for up to seven passengers in its spacious interior, making it an ideal choice for a family driver who wants a sedan with a little extra. The 2023 Buick Enclave features a powerful 3.6-liter V6 gas engine combined with a 9-speed automatic transmission. This can deliver up to 310 hp and 266 lb-ft of torque, making the Enclave capable of towing up to 5,000 lbs. This makes it a great choice if you’d like to use your vehicle to tow a boat or a camper for some vacation fun. You also get a choice of front-wheel drive and intelligent all-wheel drive.

The 2023 Buick Enclave is perfect for those with families. Each model comes with the Enhanced Buick Driver Confidence package of advanced safety and driver-assistance technologies. automatic emergency braking and front pedestrian braking will engage the brakes if the system detects an imminent collision with another vehicle or pedestrian in your path. Lane change alert with side blind zone alert will help you change lanes on a busy highway by letting you know if another vehicle is in your path, while lane keep assist with lane departure warning will alert you if you start to drift out of your lane. It will then use slight steering adjustments to gently get you back into position.

Front and rear park assist will help you get into and out of some difficult parallel parking spots, and IntelliBeam auto high beams will turn on your high beams automatically if you are in a very dark area and shut off when oncoming traffic approaches. Forward collision alert and following distance indicator will let you know if you are getting too close to the car in front of you, and finally, rear cross traffic alert will help you back out of a parking space. This feature detects any vehicle or pedestrian who may cross the path of your Enclave as you are backing out of a parking space.

Like the Encore GX and Envision, the 2023 Buick Enclave comes in three trims and one special edition. The Essence is the entry-level model, while the Premium presents more luxury features. If you want the ultimate luxury, consider the Enclave Avenir, which is full of great comfort and convenience features.
