Buick Encore has been sold in the domestic automobile market since 2012, and the chubby shape of the car has left a deep impression on domestic consumers. In 2019, the Buick brand released an extended version of Oncora - Oncora GX, which is higher than Oncora in terms of positioning, second only to big brother Oncovey.
Recently, the 2022 Oncora GX was officially launched, and the new car launched a total of one model with a power, and the guidance price was 164,900 yuan. Compared with the previous version of the same configuration, the price of the new car has been reduced, let's take a closer look at how it performs.
Exterior design
The design of the new Oncora GX vehicle has not changed, and the car adopts the latest family-style styling of the Buick brand, which has a high degree of recognition. The chrome trim strip extending from the front grille is integrated with the headlight group on the left and right sides, so that the horizontal visual tension is extended, and the internal horizontal middle net is blackened, which has a certain movement effect. The headlight group is closely connected with the central network to form an integrated shape, and the LED light source is matched internally in the light group.
In terms of body size, the specific length, width and height of the Oncora GX are 4463× 1815×1644 mm, and the wheelbase is 2640 mm. The waistline design on the side of the body of this model is more unique, and the segmented waistline extends from the front headlight group to the taillight group part, and is quickly lifted upwards in the rear half, with the posture of the whole car, which has a clear swooping atmosphere.
The tail design of the Oncola GX is not complicated, the sense of layering is relatively rich, and the detail elements of the rear spoiler and silver decorative pieces effectively enhance the overall visual effect. The new car has a good visual effect with LED light sources on both sides of the rear and the taillights are illuminated, while the rear enveloping structure is quite rear, and it is also equipped with a large area of silver skid plate as decoration.
Interior design
There is not much to be discerned about the family-owned interior design of buicky models, which are wrapped in a large area of soft materials and leather materials, creating a luxurious texture that is not common in the same class. The embedded display screen on the car console is equipped with eConnect 2.0 interconnected car multimedia system, which has a card-style interactive interface, supports OTA remote upgrade, car APP application, personalized account management and other functions.
The interior seats of the new model are wrapped in a mix of leather + turquoise materials, and the functions support the four-way adjustment of the height of the main driver's seat and the electric adjustment of the main driver's seat. The interior padding of the front seats of the new car is moderately soft and hard, the seat surface is relatively wide, and the backrest can give the front passengers good waist support.
The rear seats of the new car are at the same level as the front row in terms of material application and workmanship, the rear side position has a certain degree of invertedness, the wrapping feeling is still very good, the backrest support ratio is put down, the maximum volume after the fall can be extended to 1415 liters, and there is not much problem in loading large goods.
dynamical system
The 2022 Oncora GX is still powered by a 1.3T three-cylinder turbocharged engine with a maximum output of 165 hp and a peak torque of 240 Nm. In terms of drivetrain, the engine is matched by the CVT continuously variable transmission.
Model configuration and purchase recommendations
As a regular annual redesign, the 2022 Oncora GX is consistent with the old model in terms of interior and exterior design, power performance, etc., but in terms of function. The new car has launched a total of one configuration, the guidance price is 164,900 yuan, and then the car uncle will choose the same configuration of the 2020 model to compare with it to see which model has a higher cost performance.

Configuration reviews: Accessibility increased
The guidance price is 165,900 yuan, compared with the previous configuration, only 0.1 million yuan more, the configuration has increased the parallel assist in terms of function, reversing side warning system, etc. In the case of little price increase, the auxiliary configuration has increased significantly, and the cost performance is indeed higher.
Uncle Che summed up
In general, the main changes of the 2022 Oncora GX are reflected in the functional configuration, which is 0.1 million yuan less than the price of the same configuration model in 2020, but the lack of auxiliary configurations such as parallel assist and reversing side warning is indeed a bit more than worth the loss.
From the perspective of sales data, the cumulative sales of this model in the whole year of 2021 is 4677 units, the average monthly sales level is less than 400 units, and even the sales data of individual months is only double digits, which is a significant marginal product. In the view of the uncle of the car, the important reason for the poor sales of the Oncora GX is the power aspect, after all, the three-cylinder engine is still not accepted by the public until now, and the operation of the Buick brand against the current has finally ushered in a reaction, so the final opinion of the uncle to this model is not recommended.
