The Sport Touring (ST) trim adds flair and a sporty, athletic edge to the Encore GX lineup.

Distinctive features include leatherette seating with ST logo embroidery, a flat-bottom steering wheel, and gloss-black grille accents that give the cabin and exterior a bold character. You'll ride on eye-catching 18-inch Gloss Black wheels that make a statement wherever you go. Like all trims, it features the 1.3-liter Turbo engine and the 9-speed automatic transmission for lively, confident performance.

If you want extra style and dynamic features without moving to the top tier, Sport Touring is a standout choice. To see how it compares to other trims or to take one for a test drive, call Markquart Motors at (715) 833-0444.
