Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Chevrolet Equinox than in the Buick Encore, due to its greater head- and legroom.
As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Buick Encore and the Chevrolet Equinox.
Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Buick Encore as you will with the Chevrolet Equinox, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.
Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the Buick Encore will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Chevrolet Equinox.
Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. Both the Buick Encore and the Chevrolet Equinox have similar Destination Charges.
Dimensions
Since the Buick Encore is much slimmer than the Chevrolet Equinox, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot.
If you go with the Buick Encore, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Chevrolet Equinox.
Drivetrain
The Buick Encore has much lower torque than the Chevrolet Equinox, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Buick Encore and the Chevrolet Equinox.
