Exterior and interior

Interior Encore GX is quiet and comfortable: soft-touch materials, supportive seats (in the top trim — leather with heating/ventilation), a spacious second row, a large display, and plenty of storage compartments. The trunk is roomy for the class, and the seats fold flat. The ambience is close to premium — with an emphasis on calmness and practicality.
