On the trunk cover removal you should also be able to slide that panel vertically behind the rear seats. At least on the 2029 Encore Preferred that was the case so I’m pretty sure it would be the same on this one. As for the CVT is it an ECVT.? CVTs have been improved in many cases but the most reliable CVT type transmission is an ECVT ( no belts or chains, it’s basically an electric motor or two ) The Toyota ECVT for instance is pretty much bulletproof and can easily go 300,000-900,000 miles .
Oh one more comment, a lady I know who just sold her 2017 Buick Encore to her Son In Law and bought a 2025 Encore Preffered told me the new car has a lot I’d zip. Maybe after driving the 2017 Encore for 7 years almost anything feels zippy but she says this one really goes. By the way, she has never had any issues with her old Encore and neither have we in our 2019 Encore.
It's an attractive vehicle. I am surprised to hear that it is available with AWD, as the Chevrolet Trax version (to my knowledge) is NOT available with AWD at this time. What I do not like about these models, are the engines. 3 cylinders don't peak my interest, but the worst about these are the wet timing belts. Rubber belts inside the engine, bathed in oil. They do not last. My Ford EcoSport's 2.0 duratec engine may not have quite the power, or as many gears in the transmission, but at least it has a better timing chain. Rubber timing belts are just fine...if they're on the OUTSIDE of an engine.

I’m 6’3 and can confirm that I fit very comfortably in the encore gx.

Very nice work with just a touch of humor. Thank you.

Thank you for the video! Husband and I are thinking about going to look at one of these in the next week.
Glad it was helpful!
Greetings from southern Ontario Canada thanks for sharing this video
Greetings! You're welcome and thank you for taking the time to watch.
Excellent review 👍👍👍 I would buy a Preferred trim level with the 1.2 engine in FWD. No options.
Definitely is underated.

What is with that ridiculous pinstripe?
