The 2026 Buick Encore GX delivers strong efficiency in a compact SUV package. All trims are powered by a 1.3-liter Turbo engine and achieve GM-estimated 29 mpg city and 31 mpg highway-a great balance of performance and efficiency.

Seating is roomy for five passengers. The Preferred trim pairs the Turbo engine with your choice of transmission, while Sport Touring and Avenir trims come standard with the 9-speed automatic for smooth, responsive driving.

Flexibility is built in: 40/60 split rear seats and an available flat-folding front-passenger seatback mean you can reconfigure cargo space on the fly. Visit Markquart Motors in Chippewa Falls to test drive the Encore GX and feel these specs come to life, or call (715) 833-0444 with detailed questions.
