Have you ever noticed how many crossovers are on the road today? In a short time, they’ve become one of the most popular vehicle classes available!

So, where should you start your search? We recommend this Buick Encore vs. Honda CR-V comparison from 24 Auto Group! We’ll explore these two great options for Quincy, Boston, Norwood, and Brockton, drivers.

A key aspect of any midsize SUV is the multimedia functionalities you’ll have at your disposal. These will determine your ability to stay connected and entertained on the go, whether you’re just headed down the street to work or on a fun road trip.
Both the Honda CR-V and Buick Encore come with impressive multimedia systems that do a great job in their own right. However, there are some key differences.
The first and perhaps most noticeable difference is the size of the screen provided to you. While the Honda offers a 5-inch display, the Buick comes with a 7-inch display. This will make it easier to take control of and interact with your media.
As far as features go, both versatile vehicles come with Bluetooth® streaming audio for music and calls. This feature will make it easy to integrate your mobile device with your ride. However, the Buick Encore also comes standard with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. These integrated features unfortunately don’t come standard on the base trim of the Honda CR-V.
As you integrate your mobile device with your ride, you can easily listen to your favorite podcasts and playlists. As such, you’ll want to ensure you have premium sound quality with a tone that reaches every corner of the cabin.
Enjoy greater audio for your favorite podcasts and playlists. The Honda CR-V comes with a standard 4-speaker audio system that will provide adequate sound. On the other hand, the Buick Encore comes outfitted with a 6-speaker audio system that’ll create a better sound experience. You’ll have to upgrade to get this type of experience behind the wheel of the CR-V.
Of course, you will also want to look under the hood to compare these two SUVs. Both come with impressive engines mounted to their chassis, too. The Honda and Buick come with 4-cylinder configurations, which will afford you great output with over 150 horsepower and over 175 lb-ft of torque.
If you rev your engine, you’ll find the Honda CR-V generates a noisier ride. The CR-V lacks the Buick QuietTuning™ technologies found in the Encore. See, the Buick model uses triple door seals and acoustic laminated glass to dampen unwanted road noise and maintain an overall serene driving experience, even when the outside world is a bit chaotic!
