2021 Buick Encore vs. 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport
If you’re looking out for an affordable SUV, the subcompact market has some appealing contenders, and the Buick Encore and Mitsubishi Outlander Sport are both worth your consideration. These subcompact SUVs provide modern features in small packages, but only one gets to park in your driveway at the end of the day. To determine which is right for your situation, let’s compare them side by side.
Tech Features
Although subcompact SUVs don’t always come stocked with many features and amenities, the Buick Encore defies expectations with an impressive array of standard features. The Buick comes standard with smartphone connectivity, satellite radio, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and Siri Eyes Free. In the Outlander Sport, these features are either optional for an additional cost or completely unavailable. The Encore’s standard touchscreen is also larger than the Outlander Sport’s standard screen.
Interior Quality
The tech in its dash isn’t the only part of the Encore’s interior that outshines its competitor. Buick has furnished the Encore with high-quality materials for a refined look and comfortable ride. Its cushioned seating pairs with airy interior space to allow for relaxing travels whenever you and your passengers need to hit the road for quick trips or longer rides. The Outlander Sport’s interior is plain in comparison, and it doesn’t offer some of the more upscale features you can equip in the Buick.
Performance
The Encore promises a pleasant ride whether you’re traveling over fresh pavement or uneven roadways. Its handling is steady, and it remains balanced around curves and corners. On the other hand, the Outlander Sport has split reviewers with its performance. Its uncomfortable lean around turns and unresponsive steering don’t back up the “Sport” in its name, and it generates considerable noise while accelerating.
