Two SUVs with some similarities, but otherwise different in most aspects such as the model year, starting price, horsepower, fuel economy, and height. First of all, the 2016 Mazda CX-3 is priced $4,240 lower compared to the base MSRP of the 2013 Buick Encore, which is older by three model years. Also, the 2016 CX-3 has a more powerful engine than the 2013 Encore, but it gets 3 more miles on a gallon of fuel. And finally, the Encore has a slightly taller body than the CX-3. Among similarities are the body structure, ground shadow size, and maximum occupancy.
