The 2026 Buick Encore GX comes in three trim levels, each designed for different priorities.

**Preferred** balances comfort and value with cloth-leatherette seating, 18-inch silver wheels, and the standard 1.3-liter Turbo engine. It's the smart choice for everyday practicality.

**Sport Touring (ST)** adds sporty flair with leatherette embroidered seating, a flat-bottom steering wheel, gloss-black grille accents, and 18-inch black wheels. It's perfect if you want athletic style and dynamic features.

**Avenir** is the premium option, featuring perforated leather seats with embroidery, a heated steering wheel, dual-zone climate control, and exclusive 19-inch Pearl Nickel wheels-ideal if you want luxury and refinement.

All trims seat five, deliver impressive efficiency (29 city/31 highway mpg), and include an 11-inch infotainment screen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
