Towing and Trailer Capacity

Buick Encore GX Towing The Buick Encore GX is available with trailering equipment, including a 4-wire electrical harness and a 4-pin sealed connecter that connects your vehicle to your trailer’s lights.

In all, the Encore has a towing capacity of up to 1,000 pounds when properly configured, dependent upon the weight in the vehicle apart from other cargo and passengers. That’s good enough to pull around a skiff or a small sailboat when you head to the waterfront. With the optional trailer hitch, you can bring along a small teardrop or pop-up trailer to go camping.

Cargo and Rooftop Space

Interior Alright, we have one option on how to get our large gear around. But what about all the other equipment, such as bikes, kayaks, fishing rods, water floaties, coolers, suitcases, and more?

Luckily, the Encore comes equipped with plenty of cargo space and roof-hitching options.

The cargo space in the 5-seating SUV is highly customizable. In the spacious cargo area, the cargo floor is reconfigurable for an additional 2.7 inches of height. The rear seats are a standard 40/60 split and can fold down (along with the front passenger seat, even) for ultimate cargo space. At most, the crossover will deliver 50.2 cubic feet of cargo room. With the second row standing, the cargo measures 23.5 cubic feet!

The optional Encore GX Black Roof package comes standard with roof rails. These are perfect for snowboards, bikes, kayaks, and more, meeting needs for all seasons of adventure.

Start Your Engines!

Buick Encore GX No matter how much cargo you need to bring with you, you want to make sure you have a reliable engine to get the job done.

The Encore GX comes standard with an ECOTEC 1.2L Turbo engine. This offers 137 horsepower with 162 lb-ft of torque. If you need an engine with a little more kick, there is the optional upgrade to an ECOTEC 1.3L Turbo engine with 155 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque. Both engines have a selectable stop/start system to improve fuel economy.

The higher the power engine, the easier the pull and the better the gas mileage. Having an engine with built-in fuel economy features goes a long way in helping you travel with cargo. Regardless of the engine you pick, you can still make use of the maximum towing capacity of 1,000 pounds for your excess cargo needs.
