Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the GMC Terrain than in the Buick Encore GX, 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 GX and the GMC Terrain.
Convenience
The GMC Terrain requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Buick Encore GX, making it more convenient to drive.
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 GX will have less of an impact on your bank account than the GMC Terrain.
Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. The Buick Encore GX carries a much lower Destination Charge than the GMC Terrain.
Dimensions
The Buick Encore GX is a little narrower than the GMC Terrain, so you'll have an easier time getting in and out of the car in a tight parking spot.
If you go with the Buick Encore GX, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the GMC Terrain.
Drivetrain
With its lower torque engine, the Buick Encore GX doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the GMC Terrain.

Utility
