Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Kia Sportage than in the Buick Encore GX, due to its greater head- and legroom.
As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Buick Encore GX and the Kia Sportage.
Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Buick Encore GX as you will with the Kia Sportage, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.
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 GX will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Kia Sportage.
Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. The Buick Encore GX carries a much lower Destination Charge than the Kia Sportage.
Dimensions
Since the Buick Encore GX is much slimmer than the Kia Sportage, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot.
The Buick Encore GX is slightly shorter than the Kia Sportage, which may make it easier to park.
Drivetrain
With similar torque, the Buick Encore GX and the Kia Sportage are about even in transmitting their respective horsepower to the wheels.
Performance
The Buick Encore GX has a little less horsepower than the Kia Sportage.
Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Buick Encore GX and the Kia Sportage.
The Buick Encore GX has less cargo space than the Kia Sportage, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
Warranty
The basic warranty of the Buick Encore GX is not as nearly as extensive as that of the Kia Sportage.
