Onboard Technology
Modern SUVs are expected to provide their passengers with convenient entertainment and driver assistance tools, and these two vehicles certainly don’t disappoint. Both the Terrain and the Encore have contemporary touchscreen infotainment systems with responsive controls and intuitive interfaces. They also come standard with smartphone synchronization through Bluetooth®*, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. If infotainment features are high on your wish list, consider that the Buick Encore also sports satellite radio as standard issue.
Interior Space
Both manufacturers are known for their upscale interiors, and you’ll find luxe-level amenities across each SUV’s trim range. The Encore presents a refreshing level of comfort for its class, with plush seating across both rows and ample bolstering and support to maintain comfort even over long road trips and traffic jams. If you tend to haul bulky items or considerable amounts of cargo, the Terrain has you covered with its generous storage space. Behind the rear seats, the GMC provides more than 29 cubic feet for cargo. If you fold the back row down, that area expands to an accommodating 63.3 cubic feet. Its front seat also folds flat for furniture and other cumbersome hauls.
Performance
The Terrain and Encore handle with ease on city streets and highways, and you’ll find ample horsepower in either SUV. The Encore’s subcompact size proves particularly valuable when navigating crowded lots and tight spaces, with smooth maneuverability to make any parking spot accessible. If you plan on towing anything with your SUV, the Terrain can be equipped to pull up to 3,500 pounds, an impressive number for a compact crossover.
