I Overview:
Buick Encore GX (I). With 220 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. It has moderate fuel consumption (~9 l/100km). Front‑wheel drive delivers efficiency and easy handling.

Performance Verdict
The least powerful option, best suited for urban environments where higher speeds are less common. Can feel strained on highways or with a full load.
Fuel Economy
Surprisingly, its fuel economy is not as competitive as the 1.3T, suggesting the smaller engine has to work harder, impacting efficiency.
Best Use Case:
Primarily City Driving

Pros:
- • Stylish and modern exterior design
