Drivers on the lookout for a small and stylish SUV that is big on convenience will find no better than the 2019 Buick Encore vs 2019 Mazda CX-3. These two models are brilliant examples of big things coming in small packages.
The 2019 Buick Encore will have drivers raving for more around every corner. Whether it’s looks or practicality you desire, the 2019 Encore never falls short when it comes to exceeding expectations with its modern exterior and conveniently cozy interior. Features are also something this mode is never lacking as all the latest entertainment, safety, and comfort amenities are at your fingertips. Offering flair, finesse, and functionality, the 2019 Encore is every driver’s type.
The 2019 Mazda CX-3 is as trendy and modern as its techy name implies. This sub-compact SUV is right in the sweet spot of offering just enough space to do those daily chores and being small enough to maneuver easily without taking up much fuel. It’s slightly more athletic design will have many driver swooning, but it is also important to note that this is just an athletic appeal and doesn’t really have anything to do with its actual potential on tough terrain.
Compared to the 2019 CX-3 the 2019 Encore offers higher maximum horsepower, more engine options, and even more overall cargo space, while the 2019 CX-3 offers more in affordability and max fuel economy. Both are stunning examples of their class, but on stats alone, the 2019 Buick Encore may be the one to test drive first.
When it comes to both practical and aesthetic design choices for the 2019 Buick Encore, it honestly is a flawless example of what the class should be. On a stylistic level, its small and smooth body is compliment perfectly by its compacted exterior features, especially the grille, giving it an elegant look with subtle flair that is just enough to gain positive attention but never look out of place. As for the interior, it is cozy and modern with more room than the outside may suggest.
When it comes to the utility and practicability of the design the 2019 Encore manages to entertain up to five passengers and offers a maximum cargo space of 48 cubic feet when all folding seating is down. The flexibility of this model will make loading, unloading, and overall adjustments within the cabin simplistic and fast. Even the most inefficient of drivers will have their lives instantly improved by its seamless design.
When it comes to the design of the 2019 Buick Encore, it’s all about making life on the go feel easy, chic, and perfectly fitted to your needs.
The 2019 Mazda CX-3 can be described as aesthetically sharp, but weak in practicality. Its exterior body comes off as wide due to the unique slope of the hood, while the detailing, such as the pointed-tip headlights and connecting grille, add a sense of sharpness, giving it an overall bigger and bolder impression without actually being very big or bold. This is proven by the dimensions being nearly identical to the 2019 Buick Encore. That being said, even though it has the same dimensions as the 2019 Encore, it doesn’t manage to deliver the same efficiency when it comes to utility with only 44.5 cubic feet of max cargo space available.
Overall, the 2019 Mazda CX-3 may seem flashy when it comes to style, but that brightness may actually just be attempting to blind drivers from its many design flaws when it comes to practicality and utility.
Many assume smaller models have practically nothing under the hood, but the 2019 Buick Encore manages to deliver with two impressive engine options. Both the standard and advanced engine options are designed to perfectly match the 2019 Encore’s build in order to get the best out of it in both power and handling.
The standard is a 1.4L 4-cylinder engine that comes with either the Base or Preferred trim levels. The stats for this engine include 138 hp, 148 lb-ft of torque, and 33 mpg highway. This is paired with a smooth 6-speed automatic engine and comes in either FWD or AWD.
The advanced option is a 1.4L Turbo 4-cylinder engine that is offered with the Sport Touring and Essence trim levels. The stats for this engine include a sporty 153 hp, 177 lb-ft of torque, and 33 mpg highway. This is also paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission and offered in FWD and AWD depending on whether you want financial and fuel efficiency or terrain-ready power.
Giving these options gives drivers the freedom to experience the road exactly the way they want, and that is just the start as anyone who gets behind the wheel themselves quickly learns.
When it comes to power, the 2019 Mazda CX-3 is fairly one dimensional with only a single engine option that is average in potential at best. This powertrain is a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission that delivers 148 hp and 146 lb-ft torque and is available in both FWD and AWD. While having one engine isn’t uncommon for this class, when you compare it to the strength and precision of the options granted by the 2019 Encore, it may seem to fall flat behind all that exterior flair. While there was a bit of self-improvement for this model, it still has some serious work to do to get up the ranks in its class.
Features come in many shapes and sizes. Some are designed for the purpose of entertainment or comfort of the driver while others are designed for things such as safety and driver-assistance. Every model has features of which they are most proud of though, and here we will highlight the most noteworthy features each model contains as both standard and optional.
When it comes to features, the favorites of the 2019 Buick Encore includes the quieting technology within the cabin and the intelligent All-Wheel-Drive system.
The quiet tuning with active noise cancellation, which is a standard feature built-in at manufacturing, is probably less flashy than other features, but it honestly is one of the most underappreciated. Many people don’t notice the quieting tuning, but that is because of how well it does its job. Keeping the road out and the serenity of the cabin in is one of the best ways to elevate the atmosphere of a vehicle and make it truly feel like home. The way this works is most simply best described as picturing the body of the vehicle as a pair of noise-canceling headphones on an airplane.
The active All-Wheel-Driver maximizes the potential for the 2019 Encore to take on harsh weather conditions and adjust seamlessly to tricky road situations. We all at some point or another find ourselves in bad driving conditions, and this is the perfect way to stay safe and secure no matter what the road throws your way.
When it comes to what the 2019 Mazda CX-3 can offer in noteworthy features the main attractions would have to be completely style based. Many would even claim that the 2019 CX-3 is a more affordable version of some of the more luxurious brands. It also offers a plethora of optional upscale features such as a Mazda Connect infotainment system, Bose audio, LED lights, Smart City Brake Support, and the convenient push-button start. Basically, if you like your vehicles high-class, but with little overall practicality, this may just be the right pick for you.
