The automaker claims the Encore can seat five adults and offer up to 48.4 cubic feet of storage space with the rear seats folded. This drops to 18.8 cubic feet when the rear seats are in place.

Power comes from a turbocharged 1.4-liter engine rated at 148 horsepower and 140 pound-feet of torque, and drive is sent to the wheels via a six-speed automatic which features both a steep first gear and tall overdrive gear.
