2020 Buick Encore vs Encore GX

Despite sharing a name, the 2020 Buick Encore and Buick Encore GX are very different.
To show you how these vehicles differ, Andy Mohr Buick GMC created this comparison to help our Indiana friends near Fishers, Indianapolis, and Noblesville make a well-informed decision on their next vehicle.

Compact SUV vs Subcompact SUV

In the past year, a new vehicle category has hit the market: the subcompact SUV. These vehicles are designed to give drivers a new option when it comes to interior space and exterior style.
Subcompact SUVs are smaller in size, helping you get better gas mileage. For example, the 2020 Buick Encore achieves an EPA-estimated 25 MPG city and 30 MPG highway, helping you cruise past gas stations during your morning commute.
Compact SUVs, on the other hand, typically offer more interior space since they are larger in size. This means more space to spread out on long treks, as well as more cargo room for all your essentials.
The 2020 Buick Encore GX is actually considered a “subcompact-plus” SUV, which provides the best from both the subcompact and compact categories. Therefore, you can expect great fuel efficiency, along with a maximum 50.2 cubic feet of cargo space when the back seat is folded flat.
The answer to whether you should choose a compact or subcompact SUV lies in your specific lifestyle needs.
