The height of the Buick Encore GX I varies between 1629 mm and 1653 mm (64.1 to 65 inches), influenced by factors such as roof rails, tires, and suspension setup. The tallest measurements generally correspond with trims equipped with roof accessories or a higher ride height.

The curb weight of the Buick Encore GX I falls between 1375 kg and 1477 kg (approx. 3,031 lbs to 3,256 lbs). The variation depends on different trims, option packages, or drivetrain configurations that can add or reduce weight.

With rear seats upright, the Buick Encore GX I offers a luggage capacity ranging from 399 liters to 665 liters (14.1 to 23.5 cubic feet), depending on the seating configuration and optional equipment.

The Buick Encore GX I fits well within a standard residential garage. Typical garage widths range from 2400 mm to 3000 mm (about 7.9 to 9.8 feet), and with the Encore GX's width of approximately 1813-1814 mm (71.3-71.4 inches), it leaves enough clearance on both sides for safe entry, exit, and storage. Its height up to 1653 mm (65 inches) also ensures it clears most garage door heights, making it a convenient choice for families needing a compact yet roomy SUV.

Compared to its predecessor, the original Buick Encore, the Encore GX I is larger overall. The Encore GX offers increased length (4354–4463 mm vs. approximately 4267 mm for the previous generation), greater width (1813–1814 mm vs. around 1775 mm), and more height (up to 1653 mm vs. roughly 1605 mm). These increases provide more interior space, additional cargo capacity, and enhanced passenger comfort, positioning the Encore GX as a more practical and versatile compact SUV compared to the smaller, earlier Encore.

In comparison to similar compact SUVs, the Buick Encore GX I is moderately sized. With a length of about 4354 to 4463 mm (171.3 to 175.7 inches), it is slightly longer than some subcompact crossovers like the Hyundai Kona or Mazda CX-30, but shorter than larger compact SUVs like the Toyota RAV4 or Honda CR-V. Its width of roughly 1813-1814 mm (71.3-71.4 inches) is typical for the class, offering a comfortable cabin without excessive bulk. The ground clearance at 191 mm (7.5 inches) is also competitive, providing sufficient versatility for light off-road or poor road conditions while keeping handling stable.

The Buick Encore GX I is equipped with rims sized 17 inches (7.5J) or 18 inches (18J), paired with tires sized 225/60 R17 or 225/55 R18. The combination of these wheel and tire sizes balances ride comfort and handling precision, providing a smooth driving experience suited both for city commuting and highway use. Larger 18-inch wheels typically offer crisper steering response and a sportier appearance, while the 17-inch versions emphasize ride cushioning and better absorption of road imperfections.
