The Sport Touring (ST) trim adds bold, athletic styling to the Encore GX. Inside, you get leatherette seating with ST-logo embroidery and a flat-bottom steering wheel that signal sport intent. Outside, gloss-black grille accents and 18-inch Gloss Black wheels make a confident statement.

Under the hood, the 1.3-liter Turbo engine is paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission, delivering lively, responsive performance. You still enjoy the ultrawide 11-inch infotainment screen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and excellent fuel efficiency.

If you want extra style, dynamic character, and a sportier driving feel, Sport Touring is your sweet spot. Contact Markquart Motors at (715) 833-0444 to test drive one and see the difference in person.
