The Buick Encore is compact by design, but that shouldn't mean settling for a manual tailgate. This power liftgate kit gives your Encore effortless, motorized cargo access with obstacle sensing and memory height - a small upgrade that makes a noticeable difference in daily driving.
On a compact crossover like the Encore, every convenience feature counts. Decoin's Electric Tailgate Power Lift swaps out the manual liftgate for a quiet, motor-driven mechanism that opens and closes smoothly with no jerks or bangs, making it easier to load groceries, gym bags, or luggage without fumbling for a handle.
Because the Encore's cargo area is tighter than larger SUVs, obstacle detection is especially useful - the tailgate senses resistance while closing and automatically reverses to prevent pinching or damage. Reinforced double bar support keeps the lighter Encore tailgate stable and evenly supported through repeated use.
Your existing Buick key fob operates the lift directly, alongside a button by the driver's seat and one on the tailgate itself. The system also memorizes a preferred open height, so if you park in a tight garage, one long button press locks in the height that clears it every time.
Fitting the kit to an Encore takes only basic hand tools, guided by a clear manual (paper or electronic), so most owners can install it themselves without scheduling a shop appointment.
Automatic operation, gesture control, adjustable memory height, obstacle detection, one-touch open/close, anti-pinch protection, hands-free and foot-activated triggers, key fob remote, jam protection, and soft-close - all scaled to fit the Encore's smaller tailgate.
Is this kit too bulky for a small SUV like the Encore? No - it's engineered to match the Encore's tailgate size and weight, so it doesn't add noticeable bulk or interfere with cargo space.
What if my Encore doesn't have keyless entry? The system still works with your existing key and the physical control buttons, so keyless entry isn't required.
How long does installation usually take? Most owners finish in a few hours using the included manual and standard hand tools.
