GMC REACHES NEW HEIGHTS WITH NEXT GEN 2019 SIERRA ELEVATION EDITION

Double-cab model boasts a bold and confident attitude with elevated capability The launch of the next generation Sierra lineup continues with the introduction of the new 2019 GMC Sierra Elevation. Adding to other recently revealed bold, powerful models of the Sierra, the Elevation makes a statement in design, capability and advanced connectivity. The Sierra Elevation, along with Denali, AT4 and SLT, is designed to meet the needs and preferences of discerning GMC customers. The next generation Sierras are built upon a prominent foundation of strong bodywork that incorporates chiseled fenders and a tall, powerful hood capped with a bigger and bolder grille than any Sierra prior. Elevation sets itself apart with distinct monochromatic door handles, bumpers and grille surround. The commanding design is amplified by black exterior accents, including the grille insert, tow hooks, side window trim and standard 20-inch aluminum wheels. Like other modern GMC designs, advanced lighting technology plays a key role in shaping the 2019 Sierra Elevation. New high-intensity LED headlamps that incorporate C-shaped “light blade” signature lighting elements, LED fog lamps and C-shaped LED elements within the taillights are all standard. “The 2019 Sierra Elevation conveys a youthful, athletic presence that demonstrates GMC’s tailored approach,” said Rich Latek, GMC marketing director. “With inherent truck capabilities and functionality, Elevation is able to take you off the beaten path along with your gear while standing out from the pack.” The Sierra Elevation is based off the double cab model and is offered with two- or four-wheel-drive configurations. The next generation double cab has nearly 3 inches of additional rear-seat legroom compared to the current model and best-in-class double cab front head- and legroom (max.). Elevated Capability The Sierra Elevation leverages innovative technology and smart engineering to enhance capability and elevate driver confidence. With the Traction Select System and the twist of a dial, the driver can choose from preset modes designed for distinct purposes or conditions. Selecting one of these modes adjusts Sierra’s transmission shift points, throttle mapping and other systems to optimize performance for the situation at hand. Tour mode, for instance, is ideal for everyday driving, while Terrain mode configures the Sierra for venturing off the beaten path. For those who frequently venture off-road, Sierra Elevation is available with the X31 Off Road package, which includes unique suspension tuning with Rancho shocks, locking rear differential, Hill Descent Control, protective underbody skidplates, heavy-duty air filter, dual exhaust system and a two-speed transfer case with low-range gearing topped off with all-terrain tires. If trailering a camper or other gear is part of your adventure, the 2019 Sierra Elevation was designed from square one with trailering in mind. The available ProGrade Trailering System incorporates a number of innovative features, including an advanced available Trailering App, designed to help take the guesswork out of connecting and towing a trailer. Purposeful Functionality The Sierra Elevation was engineered to get you and your gear — be it kayaks, camping, mountain bikes, motorcycles or beyond — where you need to go, building on the foundation of the best-in-class cargo volume standard with every all-new Sierra: 89.1 cubic feet on standard box models. Thanks to more tie-downs, enhanced cargo lighting and larger rear corner steps, the task of loading and securing gear is easier than ever. A 120V outlet in the rear supplies power to equipment needed for a day at the campsite or on the trails. Available accessory GearOn rails within the box allow for bike racks, kayak carriers and other accessories to be installed or adjusted quickly and easily. The rails’ integrated position makes cargo more accessible and frees up space in the rest of the box. Next Generation Performance The Sierra Elevation is available with a number of new engine and transmission configurations that deliver the perfect blend of power and capability. Standard on the 2019 Sierra Elevation is an all-new 2.7-liter turbocharged engine paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission that delivers 310 horsepower and 348 lb-ft of torque. The next generation 5.3-liter V-8 is also available on the Sierra Elevation, in conjunction with an eight-speed automatic transmission. This improved version of the 5.3-liter V-8 utilizes a new Dynamic Fuel Management system that enables the engine to operate on one to eight cylinders, depending on demand, to optimize power and efficiency. Early in 2019, the Sierra Elevation will also be offered with a new 3.0-liter turbo-diesel inline-six-cylinder engine, along with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Advanced Connectivity An 8-inch diagonal GMC Infotainment System that incorporates Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility* is standard on the Sierra Elevation, along with a six-speaker audio system. A premium GMC Infotainment System that incorporates a higher resolution touchscreen, advanced personalization features, voice recognition functionality and available in-vehicle apps is optional, as is a 7-speaker Bose premium audio system. USB Type A and Type C ports for charging mobile devices are standard. The 2019 GMC Sierra Elevation will be available starting in the fall of 2018.

Buick Encore vs. Encore GX - What's the difference?

You've seen the ads, "that's a Buick?" the attractive spokespeople utter overzealously upon eyeing the luxury SUV parked in front of them.  Buick has had quite the transformation in recent years to become Not your Grandpa's Buick. Most notably with the introduction of the all-new Buick Encore GX.  You read that right, the Encore GX is a completely new and different vehicle from the Encore.  GX is not a trim level, but rather signifies a redesigned luxury vehicle with attractive styling to sit in the lineup between the smaller Encore and the larger Envision. Styling & Size Looking at these two vehicles, it becomes immediately obvious that these are not the same compact utility vehicle.  The Encore GX sports a larger grill (with optional sporty red accents on select trim levels), sharper lines, and is an overall larger vehicle than the Encore.  At 171.4 inches long, the newer Encore GX is 3 inches longer than the older Encore.  The GX also adds 1.3 inches to the vehicle's width, providing a nice luxurious stance.  You'll some extra front and rear legroom thanks to these sizing changes.  Moving around back, the Encore GX provides ample trunk storage.  At 23.5 cubic feet, it provides 20% more trunk space than the Encore. Engine & Transmission This is where the platform differences truly start to become apparent.  The Encore is driven by a 138hp turbocharged 1.4L four-cylinder engine paired to a six-speed automatic transmission with available all wheel drive.  You'll get that same engine across all of the Encore's trim levels.  Meanwhile, the Encore GX features two engine options, both turbocharged three -cylinder engines.  The base 1.2L engine produces 137hp and is only paired to front wheel drive models.  The more powerful 1.3L engine produces 155 horses and can be paired with both FWD and AWD models.  The GX also makes use of a CVT - continuously variable transmission - on its front wheel drive models, while a 9-speed automatic comes with all the AWD models. Fuel Economy As one might expect, the turbocharged 3-cylinder engine driving the GX is more apt at sipping fuel than its 4-cylinder counterpart found in the standard Encore.  The Encore GX will pull 30/32/31 city/highway/combined mpg according to the EPA, while the Encore comes in at 25/30/27 respectively.  When speaking to All Wheel Drive models, the Encore's economy does not change according to the EPA.  On the other hand, Encore GX's numbers come more inline with the standard Encore's numbers when all four wheels are being driven.  AWD Encore GX owners can expect fuel economy of 26/29/28 according to the EPA. Pricing & Features The Encore starts at $24,600, while the Encore GX comes in at a starting price of $24,200.  Both vehicles come standard with convenience features such as proximity based lock/unlock, push-button start, Apple Carplay/Android Auto paired to an 8" touch screen display, 18" wheels/tires, and a 4.2" gauge cluster display behind the wheel. The Encore GX comes standard with added safety features such as forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, and lane departure warning.  These are optional features on the Encore. Final Thoughts Buick has produced two exceptional compact SUVs in the Encore and Encore GX.  While the naming might be confusing, the real world differences are clear.  Both offer competitive pricing, luxury styling, and convenient features to enjoy as you take on the road.  Stop in for a test drive to learn more about these two great Buicks or click the links below to view inventory!
