Small SUVs are becoming the top automotive class due to their flawless mixture of functionality and style. Anything bigger seems too bulky, pricy, and difficult to manage, while anything smaller can make even the simplest of errands seem like an epic trial of will. Two stunning examples of this perfectly-sized class that are commonly compared are the 2019 Buick Encore vs 2019 Chevy Trax. Both models offer a sense of modern flair that makes driving fun and easy. The list of available features seems endless and when it comes to being flexible they never fail to match your stride.
As far as differences go though, there are a few noteworthy points that we need to address. The 2019 Buick Encore is one of the most stylish models on the market with the perfect blend of being cohesive, sleek, and compact, while the 2019 Chevy Trax is all about functionality and blending in when it comes to exterior and interior design. When it comes to power the 2019 Encore gives multiple options that are ideal for its build and deliver smooth results, while the 2019 Trax offers one that won’t match the Encore at its best. The 2019 Chevy Trax does seem to shine in other areas though such as being a bit cheaper and more appealing to the everyday driver.
Overall, when it comes to affordability and an everyday simplicity the 2019 Chevy Trax does have slightly higher stats, but when it comes to delivering a powerful performance and stunning looks that drivers are looking for, the 2019 Buick Encore takes it home and delivers a sense of luxury that is missing elsewhere.
The 2019 Buick Encore offers two available engines, a 1.4L 4-cylinder DOHC turbocharged engine as standard on all models. If you’re looking for a little more power there is a 1.4L SIDI turbo engine available which is powerful for a subcompact SUV and produces up to 153 hp and 177 lb-ft torque. This engine is also efficient with fuel economy ratings of up to 26 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway. These specs help place the 2019 Buick Encore among the top contenders of the subcompact class and have helped this luxurious SUV earned a reputation for versatility. The 1.4L 4-cylinder engine is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, which compliments the Encore’s quick acceleration with smooth shifting. The 2019 Buick Encore is an efficient, powerful, and versatile vehicle in the subcompact class and stands out for its well-round performance in this category.
The 2019 Chevy Trax shares a lot in common with the 2019 Buick Encore in terms of performance. For example, the Trax also offers a 1.4L 4-cylinder engine on all models, which offers identical fuel economy ratings to the Encore at up 26 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway. However, the Trax fails to up the power of it 1.4L 4-cylinder engine among its higher trim levels, which the Encore excels at. Consequently, the horsepower of the 2019 Chevy Trax maxes out at 138 hp with 148 lb-ft torque. If you’re interested in purchasing the base model of either vehicle, the performance is nearly identical between these two vehicles. However, if you’re looking to upgrade to a higher trim level, you’ll have a boost in power with the 2019 Buick Encore. For many drivers looking for a vehicle in the subcompact class, this is an especially important quality as many vehicles in this class can be slow to accelerate, especially when full of passengers and cargo. With the enhanced 1.4L 4-cylinder engine on the higher trim levels of the Encore, this is not a factor you have to worry about.

The 2019 Chevy Trax does not share the same luxury touches as the 2019 Buick Encore. The interior is appointed with cheaper plastics and cloth upholstery, and offers a simplistic design. Seating is comfortable and well-cushioned, however it does not offer nearly the comfort of the Encore.

However, the standard touchscreen is smaller than what is offered on the Encore. Drivers can upgrade to more luxurious features to spruce up the interior of the Trax, however, ultimately the design and cheap plastics remain the same. Overall, the 2019 Chevy Trax is the more affordable vehicle, but the 2019 Buick Encore offers an incredibly luxurious interior at a reasonable price.

When it comes to warranties, the Trax offers a 3-year/36,000 mile warranty, as well as a 5-year/60,000 powertrain warranty. Both warranties are less impressive than those offered on the Encore, but are about average compared to others in its class.
