EcoSport vs Encore: Engaging Top Speed Capabilities

Finding a great SUV means finding a vehicle that can generate plenty of power to achieve high top speeds. Inside the Ford EcoSport and the Buick Encore we find powertrains that provide enough horsepower to make for an engaging drive.

For the Encore, we have an available 1.4L SIDI turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with 153 horsepower. You'll find a forceful engine inside this vehicle that's well suited for work and play.

That being said, inside the EcoSport we find an available 2.0L 4-cylinder engine with 166 horsepower. If it's speed you're looking for, between these cars you'll want to try out the Ford EcoSport.

2018 EcoSport vs 2018 Encore: Stable Handling Technology

It's important to remain stable on the road even during the most unstable conditions. That's why these SUVs offer handling technology to keep you moving smoothly. Available with the Buick Encore is an all-wheel drive system that provides some extra traction. Moving in the snow shouldn't be too difficult inside this vehicle.

However, if you want a vehicle that's prepared for a multitude of possibilities while you're driving, the 2018 EcoSport is here for you. Available with this SUV is an intelligent 4-wheel drive system that monitors torque distribution across the vehicle. Your car will manage wheel spin to make sure you have the best handling possible with this feature.

Ford EcoSport vs Buick Encore: Premium Entertainment Features

Listening to crystal clear audio while on the road is very important for drivers traveling long distance. That's why the Buick Encore offers an available Bose® 7-speaker premium sound system. You'll achieve the cleanest listening experience available using this audio setup.

Although, if you aim to create an even more concert-like sound, you want the Ford EcoSport. This vehicle provides an available B&O PLAYâ„¢ Premium Audio System by HARMAN with nine speakers and a subwoofer. If you want to generate crisp premium audio throughout your car, you'll want an EcoSport.

Spacious Storage Area Design

The Buick Encore is designed to be spacious to allow drivers to carry plenty of cargo with them. With the rear seats up, you'll find a standard 18.80 cubic feet of space to allow you to store anything you need. If everything you need happens to require more space, simply collapse the rear seats and increase the cargo area to 48.40 cubic feet of space.

Drivers who want some more cargo space will want to explore the standard 20.9 cubic feet of cargo area inside the 2018 Ford EcoSport. This vehicle is designed with storage in mind and you can increase that space to 50 cubic feet by lowering the rear seats. You'll be able to enjoy your vacation to the fullest with this SUV.
