If you’ve been looking for a compact crossover SUV, you know that there’s a lot of competition in the segment, which makes it all the more impressive when an SUV truly stands out from the crowd. The Buick Encore GX is new to the market, but it’s already earning rave reviews from drivers and auto enthusiasts alike. Let’s compare the Encore GX to one of its fiercest competitors, the Subaru Crosstrek, to see which comes out on top.
The 2020 Buick Encore GX is powered by either a 1.2-liter turbo engine with 137 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque, or a 1.3-liter turbo with 155 horsepower and 174 pound-feet of torque, and a continuously variable transmission (CVT) is standard across all trims. In comparison, the single engine choice for the gasoline 2020 Subaru Crosstrek is a 2.0-liter engine with 152 horsepower and 145 pound-feet of torque, and the first two trim levels (out of three) in the Crosstrek come standard with a six-speed manual transmission, with an optional CVT. In terms of fuel efficiency, the Encore GX is rated to be more efficient than the Crosstrek in every variation.
Moving inside the two SUVs, you’ll see that the Encore GX offers far more luxurious amenities than the Crosstrek. With the Encore GX, you can have a memory-position driver’s seat, a head-up display, parking assist, a Bose® premium sound system, an easy entry system, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and more. None of these features are available in the Crosstrek, which is more rugged in appearance and offerings. Additionally, the Encore GX comes with the Buick Marketplace, an innovative in-car experience that makes the little things in life easier. In the Buick Marketplace, you can pay for parking, order a pizza, make a reservation for dinner, or even order a to-go meal from your favorite restaurant. Though the Crosstrek offers more cargo volume overall, you’ll have more cargo space behind the rear seats in the Encore GX than the Crosstrek, again making everyday driving just a little bit easier.
Both the Encore GX and the Crosstrek come standard with their makers’ driver assistance suites. In the Encore GX you’ll find:
In the Crosstrek, you’ll have:
The Encore GX again takes the lead with a more comprehensive and helpful suite of features that will help give you extra security and peace of mind on the road.
