The 2026 Buick Encore GX comes in three distinct trims, each designed to match different priorities and budgets.

**Preferred** is the smart starting point-it balances comfort, technology, and value with cloth-leatherette seating, 18-inch aluminum wheels, and the standard 1.3-liter Turbo engine.

**Sport Touring (ST)** adds bold style and athletic flair: leatherette seating with ST embroidery, a flat-bottom steering wheel, and gloss-black 18-inch wheels give it a dynamic edge.

**Avenir** is the luxury choice at the top, featuring perforated leather seats with Avenir logos, a heated steering wheel, dual-zone climate control, and exclusive 19-inch Pearl Nickel wheels.

All trims seat up to five, deliver 29 city/31 highway mpg, and include an 11-inch infotainment screen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. To explore current pricing and find your perfect match, call Markquart Motors at (715) 833-0444 or browse our new inventory online.
