Buick Encore GX 2023.

Buick updated the Encore GX with a shark nose, a different cabin, and a top-of-the-line Avenir.

Production of the American brand model will start next month, and the crossover will go on sale in the home market later this spring. The prices are known.

The Buick brand is owned by the American concern General Motors. The company has been producing the Encore GX crossover since 2019.

According to Carsalesbase statistics, in 2021 the model was sold in the US with a solid circulation of 71,247 copies, while last year SUV sales sank significantly: for example, in the first three quarters (more recent data is not yet available), Americans bought 24,296 units, which is 60% less than in January-September of the previous year.

Now the model has gone through a planned restyling: today the American company declassified the refreshed Encore GX, although the appearance of the novelty was declassified earlier (pictured from the database of the Ministry of Industry of China).

Part of the change was in the exterior: design features borrowed from last year’s Wildcat EV concept. The crossover received the so-called “shark nose”, head optics of a narrower shape, an updated brand logo is located between the headlights.

Lexus IS 2025.

Lexus IS 2025 new generation will change completely.

Lexus IS was last updated in 2020. Then the Japanese engineers made minor changes.

The refusal of large-scale modernization is explained by the fact that the car will soon undergo a deep transformation.

As a result, the 2025 Lexus IS, after a generational change, will not be like its predecessor.

According to preliminary information, the Japanese model will move to the e-TNGA platform in a few years.

That is, Lexus plans to release an electric version of the IS. The modification with the internal combustion engine, apparently, will be discontinued by that time.

It is reported that the dimensions of the Japanese novelty will be 4770x1850x1437 mm with a wheelbase of 2850 mm.

By default, the car will be equipped with two electric motors providing all-wheel drive. Their combined output will reach 360 hp.
