The Sport Touring (ST) trim adds bold, athletic personality to the Encore GX. It features leatherette seating with ST logo embroidery, a flat-bottom steering wheel, and gloss-black grille accents that make a statement inside and out.

Outside, 18-inch Gloss Black wheels complement the sporty design. Under the hood, it still uses the efficient 1.3-liter Turbo engine paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission for lively, responsive performance.

If you want extra style and dynamic character without the premium price of the Avenir, the Sport Touring strikes a great balance. It's ideal for drivers who appreciate a more distinctive look and feel. Markquart Motors has the 2026 Encore GX ST in stock. Call (715) 833-0444 or visit to find your match.
