Buick Encore GX vs. Mazda CX-30 vs. Kia Seltos

2022 BUICK ENCORE GX

The Buick Encore GX is the five-person SUV for your active lifestyle. With available All-Wheel-Drive, the 2022 Encore GX is always ready to hit the open road whether it be paved or off the beaten path. The Buick Encore GX is stylish, packed with technology, and nimble enough to keep up with your lifestyle.

However, the Encore GX is part of a quickly growing subcompact crossover SUV segment. So how does it stack up against competitors like the Mazda CX-30 or Kia Seltos?

The biggest competitor to the 2022 Buick Encore GX is the 2022 Mazda CX-30. It is similarly priced but it has a more powerful Turbo engine available as an option. While the 1.3L Turbo engine in the Encore GX delivers a healthy amount of power for everyday needs, the 2.5L Turbo engine in the CX-30 is much more powerful with up to 250 hp. However, the Encore GX's engine delivers better fuel economy figures.

An area that the 2022 Buick Encore GX excels in is safety. It has more standard airbags and more standard advanced driver & safety aids than both the Mazda CX-30 & Kia Seltos. It is also the only one to offer a surround view camera system.
