By now, Mazda has made its upmarket intentions abundantly clear. Its mainstream vehicles — particularly the latest Mazda3 — punch in well above their weight, especially when it comes to what’s inside. The new-for-2020 CX-30 is no exception; it looks and feels far more upscale than its price tag suggests.

On the flip side, it’s no secret Buick’s known for being, shall we say, the preferred method of transportation for the bingo-night carpool. It’s also no secret the brand’s been trying for years to shake that image by reinventing itself with vehicles for a younger audience that feel far more upscale than their price tag suggests — like the all-new Encore GX.

Come to think of it, that sort of champagne-taste-on-a-Coors-budget is what both Buick and Mazda seem to be striving for! Weird, right? So, which of these compact, pseudo-luxury crossovers does a more convincing job of ballin' on a budget?
