The 2026 Buick Encore GX Sport Touring (ST) trim adds bold styling and athletic attitude to the compact SUV. Inside, you'll find leatherette seating with ST logo embroidery and a flat-bottom steering wheel that emphasize the sporty character. Outside, gloss-black grille accents and distinctive 18-inch Gloss Black wheels make a statement. Like all Encore GX models, it's powered by the 1.3-liter Turbo engine paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission for lively performance. If you want extra style and dynamic features, Sport Touring delivers. Call Markquart Motors at (715) 833-0444 to explore this trim in person.
