Driving brings freedom. It lets you control your direction in life and go wherever it is you want to go. And to enjoy the open road and all the endless travel possibilities, you need a fuel-efficient vehicle that can go the distance. What kind of fuel economy can the Buick Encore GX and the Mazda CX-30 provide?
The Mazda CX-30 achieves an EPA-estimated 26 city/33 highway MPG. All in all, this fuel economy is respectable and will help you get from Point A to Point B in fewer stops. How does the Buick compare?
The Buick Encore GX boasts an EPA-estimated 29 city/31 highway MPG, giving it a superior combined mileage compared to the Mazda CX-30. If you want the freedom of a highly efficient vehicle, the Buick Encore GX has more to offer.
The Buick is able to back up its fuel efficiency even further. It’s equipped with a 13.2-gallon fuel tank capacity, which bests the Mazda’s 12.7-gallon fuel tank. More room for gasoline means you can spend more time on the road before needing to refuel!
Another efficiency win for the Encore GX comes in the form of a Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT). This popular transmission changes through a continuous range of gear ratios, which provides a smooth ride and better fuel efficiency. If you’re looking for more dynamic shifting, the CX-30 is equipped with a 6-speed sport transmission.
Day to day, we spend a lot of time behind the wheel. Whether you’re road tripping or taking a quick trip to the park, you’ll want to enjoy the ride. Which technology and infotainment features do the Buick Encore GX and the Mazda CX-30 have?
As you sit in the driver’s seat of either small SUV, you’ll notice they have many technologies in common, including:
- 8-inch touchscreen displays
- Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™
- Bluetooth®
These helpful integrations make it easy to play music from your compatible devices wirelessly. Both also include USB ports for your charging convenience.
For added convenience, the Encore GX provides an available wireless charging pad, which enables you to power up your devices even when you’ve left your cord at home. On the other hand, the CX-30 comes with USB ports that can be used for charging.
If you have a long stint on the highway ahead, you’ll want to help pass the time. With the Buick’s standard Wi-Fi® hotspot capability, you can surf the web or enjoy your favorite streaming service without using data! Unfortunately, the Mazda CX-30 goes without a similar amenity.
Maybe you want to gather up the gang for a summer camping trip. Maybe you and your friends from college are planning to reunite for a road trip of epic proportions. When you’re packing up your vehicle for a trip, you’ll need to have plenty of space for your stuff. How do the Buick Encore GX and the Mazda CX-30 fare?
Both models offer standard split-folding rear seats to maximize cargo space, but when you’re traveling with friends, you’ll need room for people and possessions. The Mazda CX-30 offers drivers 20.2 cubic feet of cargo volume behind the second row. But its cargo capacity with the seats upright pales compared to that of the Buick Encore GX.
With the Buick Encore GX, you’ll have 23.5 cubic feet of cargo room behind the second-row seats.
Also, if you’d like to take along a kayak to get on the water or a bicycle for the mountain trail, only the Buick Encore GX is available with a Trailering Package, which comes with:
- Trailer hitch
- Trailering harness
- Trailer hitch bezel
The Buick Encore GX gives you more space for your vacation gear, both inside and outside the cabin.
The Buick Encore GX and the Mazda CX-30 are small SUVs with style and character. However, if you want an SUV with higher fuel economy, more cargo room behind the second row, and more standard towing options, we recommend the Buick Encore GX.
