The 2026 Buick Encore GX comes in three distinct trims, each offering a different balance of comfort, style, and features.

**Preferred** is the foundation-smart comfort and everyday practicality with cloth-and-leatherette seating, 18-inch Bright Silver wheels, and the responsive 1.3-liter Turbo engine. It includes the ultrawide 11-inch infotainment screen and 8-inch Driver Information Center.

**Sport Touring (ST)** adds bold styling and athletic attitude: leatherette with ST logo embroidery, flat-bottom steering wheel, gloss-black grille accents, and exclusive 18-inch Gloss Black wheels. The 9-speed automatic transmission brings lively performance.

**Avenir** is the luxury choice-perforated leather seats with Avenir logos, heated steering wheel, dual-zone climate control, and exclusive 19-inch Pearl Nickel wheels. It also offers the available hands-free liftgate.

All trims seat five, deliver GM-estimated 29 city/31 highway mpg, and feature wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. See current pricing and inventory at Markquart Motors-call (715) 833-0444 to discuss which trim fits your needs best.
