The best thing about the Buick SUV lineup is that there’s something for everyone. Whether you want a compact cruiser or a spacious chariot, we’ve got one. We’re comparing the Buick Encore GX vs. Buick Enclave at Carroll Buick GMC to give you a closer look.

Space

When comparing the two SUVs, you’ll notice the size difference. The compact Buick Encore GX includes comfortable seating for five, while the Buick Enclave offers space for seven. In the Buick Encore GX, you can also fold the second-row flat to store up to 50.2 cubic feet of cargo. That space amplifies to 97.4 cubic feet with the rear seats folded in the Buick Enclave.

Power

There are two available engine options for the Buick Encore GX. Peak power comes from the ECOTEC® 1.3-liter turbo engine, which delivers up to 155 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque. Power increases in the Buick Enclave, which uses a 3.6-liter V6 engine to generate up to 310 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque.

Efficiency

The smaller size of the Buick Encore GX naturally makes it lighter. In fact, it’s over 1,100 pounds lighter than the Buick Enclave. That makes the compact SUV more fuel-efficient, no matter which engine option you choose.

Premium Cabins

Both SUVs boast premium cabins filled with thoughtful features and amenities. The Buick Encore GX comes standard with innovative features, including an 11-inch HD color touchscreen and wireless smartphone integration. While the Buick Enclave is only available with an eight-inch screen, it dials up the sophistication with heated seats in a perforated leather-appointed trim.
