The **Sport Touring (ST) trim** adds bold styling and athletic attitude to the 2026 Buick Encore GX for drivers who want extra flair and dynamic character.

You'll enjoy leatherette seating with ST logo embroidery, a flat-bottom steering wheel, and gloss-black grille accents that give it real personality. The 18-inch Gloss Black wheels make a bold statement on the road. Under the hood, you get the same capable 1.3-liter Turbo engine paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission for lively, responsive performance.

Like all Encore GX models, the Sport Touring includes the 11-inch infotainment display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and thoughtful interior features like 40/60 split rear seats. Perfect for drivers who want style without sacrificing practicality. Call Markquart Motors at (715) 833-0444 to schedule a test drive and see the sporty appeal for yourself.
