When you compare the exterior styling of the Encore and the Tucson, the waterfall grille and almond-shaped headlights on the Buick certainly stand out. The more simplistic design of the Tucson gives a more contemporary vibe, but the natural luxury of the Encore really shines in the detailed features. Under the hood of the Tucson, you'll find a base 2.0-liter I-4 engine that achieves just over 30 miles per gallon on the highway. The smaller base engine that comes with the Encore, a 1.4-liter I-4, wins in fuel efficiency with an impressive 28 miles per gallon in the city and 34 miles per gallon on the highway. When it comes to saving you money, and looking great while doing it, the 2016 Buick Encore takes the gold.
Looking to the interior, both vehicles feature comfortable seating for up to five passengers. The Encore, however, has standard leatherette seating trim throughout the interior, offering a more luxurious experience than that of the cloth-trimmed Tucson interior. Both vehicles have standard Bluetooth compatibility and folding rear seats to accommodate cargo instead of passengers. The Buick's flat-folding rear seats makes for even easier loading, while standard heated side mirrors give the Buick driver an easier time while on the road.
