The Encore GX has many strengths, from a spacious cabin to composed handling. For the 2021 model year, Buick rolled it out with an energetic engine option that outperforms many rivals at the pump. Stick with us to learn all about this outstanding subcompact SUV. more Pick From a Pair of Turbos A stock turbocharged 1.2-liter three-cylinder engine sits under the hood for the 2021 Encore GX. It's good for 137 horsepower and is well-suited for city driving. This base engine earns class-leading fuel economy estimates of 28 mpg in the city and 31 mpg highway. Most drivers will want to upgrade to the peppy 1.3-liter turbo-three. It gives you a big boost of power — up to 155 horsepower. This upgrade doesn't sacrifice fuel economy either. This powertrain returns even better ratings than the smaller engine: 30 mpg city and 32 highway when outfitted with front-wheel drive. Front-wheel-drive models also come with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). If you opt for an Encore GX with all-wheel drive (AWD), you'll get the nine-speed automatic. However, adding AWD does lower fuel economy figures slightly. You'll get 26 mpg city and 29 highway. Cavernous Interior For a subcompact two-row SUV, the Encore GX has plenty of space for up to five people. Buick's designers made sure to leave plenty of headroom and legroom so adults can sit comfortably in both rows. The well-insulated cabin comes nicely appointed, and there are soft-touch surfaces on the door panels. Stick with the standard cloth upholstery or upgrade to the luxury of genuine leather seats, power-adjustable and heated front seats, and a heated steering wheel. With between 23.5 and 50.2 cubic feet of storage space, the Encore GX's cargo area eclipses most of its classmates, plus you get an available hands-free power liftgate at every trim level. Other optional features include an air purifier, a moonroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, and remote start. Impressive Infotainment System Buick's standard infotainment system features an 8-inch touch screen, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a six-speaker stereo, satellite radio, a Wi-Fi hot spot, four USB ports, and Bluetooth. If that techie in you wants more, go ahead and add navigation, wireless device charging, push-button start, HD radio, proximity keyless entry, and a seven-speaker Bose stereo. Notable Safety Features The 2021 Encore GX offers safety-conscious drivers like you a full suite of standard advanced driver assistance features like automatic high-beam headlights, rearview camera, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, and the Teen Driver system of controls. Available advanced safety features encompass adaptive cruise control, lane change alert, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, head-up display, rear parking sensors, front parking sensors, park assist, and surround-view parking camera system. The 2021 Encore GX earned an overall five-star rating from The National Highway Traffic Administration when outfitted with all of Buick's optional safety gadgets. These words can't prepare you for the reality of this outstanding compact SUV. Get to know the 2021 Encore GX at Minnesota Motor Co in Fergus Falls, MN today.

The 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 is the perfect vehicle for all your hauling needs. Complete with loads of safety and security features, it is equipped with everything you need and want while out on the road. Here are four things that you will love about the new Chevy Silverado: more 1. Towing Ability With 13,300-lbs of towing capacity, the newly redesigned Chevy Silverado will make towing troubles a thing of the past. The 10-speed transmission and V8 engine combined with MaxTrailering Package give all the towing power you'll ever need. Additionally, the improved rear suspension and increased torque and horsepower ups the ante for power and control. With the truck jam-packed with features, you will be hitching up your campervan or boat and setting off for an adventure before you know it. 2. Trailering Features Chevy's Advanced Trailering System perfects your trailering experience by reducing risk and the potential for damage. The System monitors tire pressure, light function, and trailer angle, while the eight cameras onboard show you all angles and help you hitch the trailer smoothly. The Jack-Knife Alert feature reduces even more risk by alerting you to a potential jack-knife situation before it occurs, while the Tow/Haul mode protects the transmission by evening out the transitions and reducing the need for maintenance. Safety isn't the only thing that Chevrolet thought about when making the new 2021 Silverado. The Trailer Theft Alert System provides security. If an attached trailer is disconnected, an alarm and the horn will sound, along with you being notified by the myChevrolet app. The app also comes in handy if you regularly haul different trailers. It allows you to create custom profiles for different trailers, setting up the hitch type, brake gain, maintenance reminder, and other aspects. 3. Truck Bed Size The 89.1 cubic feet of truck bed space means you won't have any trouble fitting in all your gear and work materials. The 12 cargo tie-downs will stop things from moving around in the back as you drive, and the roll-formed high-strength steel used will ensure the truck bed will remain free from damage. If you work at night, it will now be made easier thanks to the in-built LED lights. Located on the corner pillars, the cab, and above the hitch, the entire scene will provide enough light to pack or unpack the bed or work in it. Also adding to the functionality, the Multi-Flex Tailgate can be folded into six different forms, giving you two alternate work surfaces, a step into the bed, or slide-stoppers for long items. 4. Communication and Entertainment Integration Connecting your phone to your car will now be a breeze with the newly integrated Android Auto and Apple CarPlay features. The simple connection process makes it easy to take the incoming phone call quickly or to put on a song. An integrated 4G Wi-Fi Hotspot (data service plans available for purchase) allows you to work from your car while out and about. The myChevrolet Mobile App adds more functionality to the truck with it being able to be used as a remote control for your car. With it, you can unlock and lock the car as well as start and stop it by voice. Checking the truck's tire pressure, oil life span, and fuel range can all be done through the app as well.
