Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat may find themselves a little more cramped in the Buick Encore than the Jeep Renegade. The Jeep Renegade will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Buick Encore.

Convenience
The Buick Encore requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Jeep Renegade, making it more convenient to drive.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the Buick Encore will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Jeep Renegade.

Dimensions
Since the Buick Encore is much slimmer than the Jeep Renegade, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. When looking at overall length, the Buick Encore takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Jeep Renegade.

Handling
The Buick Encore has the same turning radius as the Jeep Renegade, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The Buick Encore has a little less horsepower than the Jeep Renegade.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Buick Encore does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Jeep Renegade.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Buick Encore and the Jeep Renegade. The Buick Encore has less cargo space than the Jeep Renegade, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.

Warranty
You'll have greater peace of mind with the more generous basic warranty of the Buick Encore than that of the Jeep Renegade.
