2021 Buick Encore vs. 2021 Ford Escape

Looking for a compact SUV that can turn every drive into something special? The 2021 Buick Encore was designed with your comfort in mind — and we think its upscale cabin, tasteful styling, and user-friendly tech will deliver. But before you buy, you’ll want to see how the Buick Encore stacks up against popular rivals like the Ford Escape. In the Buick Encore vs. Ford Escape comparison below, Welborn GMC Of Cartersville takes a closer look at the Escape and Encore SUVs to help you decide.

Buick Encore vs. Ford Escape: Interior Appointments & Amenities

Besides an unusually comprehensive list of standard features, the Encore interior offers unique features that you won’t see on rivals like the Escape — including the QuietTuning active noise cancellation system. You and your passengers are sure to enjoy these standard Buick Encore features on your Rome drives:

• Push-button start & proximity keyless entry
• 6-way power-adjustable driver’s seat
• Cloth and synthetic leather upholstery
• 60/40 split-folding rear bench seat
• Flat-folding front passenger seatback
• Leather-wrapped steering wheel with wheel-mounted controls

The 2021 Ford Escape is equipped with a solid selection of essential technology features, but it can’t match the Encore for comfort and convenience. Standard features on the Ford Escape trim include:

• Cloth upholstery
• Dual-zone automatic climate control
• Intelligent Access with push-button start
• 10-way power driver seat with front row heaters
• Second-row 60/40 split-folding seats

Buick Encore vs. Ford Escape: Technology

Even at the base trim, the Encore is packed with advanced technology features to make your drives more convenient. Voice recognition capabilities allow you to navigate to new places in Acworth, access your messages, and more — all without taking your eyes off the road. With the Encore starting at almost $300 less than the Escape, these standard features look all the more impressive:

• Apple CarPlay® & Android Auto™ compatibility
• SiriusXM® Satellite Radio
• Built-in 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot
• Six-speaker audio system
