Hey Herculaneum; there’s a new compact SUV popping up around town, and it’s turning heads. The 2026 Buick Encore GX is for sale now at Sapaugh GM Country, and if you’re after a ride that’s nimble in the narrow streets, roomy enough for weekend getaways, and stylish enough for Main Street Saturdays; this is it.

Forget cramped sub-compacts or oversized SUVs. The Encore GX strikes that perfect balance: compact on the outside for ease of parking, yet versatile on the inside for whatever your life throws at it. Whether you're headed downtown or out toward the Mississippi for a weekend escape, this little SUV has the goods.

The 2026 Encore GX comes in a few trimlines; three main ones; and each gives you a slightly different vibe. All are for sale now, so your only tough decision is: which one drives home with you?

• Preferred: The starting trim. It’s got what you need without fluff; efficient engine, cozy seating, and modern basics. Perfect for daily commutes and grocery runs.

• Sport Touring (ST): A bit more flair and attitude. Gloss-black accents, sportier styling cues, and that same turbo power make this trim ideal if you want small-SUV convenience with a bit of edge.

• Avenir: If you’d rather ride in comfort and class, this trim ticks those boxes. Leather-appointed interior, larger wheels, premium touches; it’s the “treat yourself” version of the Encore GX.

Each version comes equipped with a turbocharged engine option, compact size that makes Herculaneum and Jefferson County traffic manageable, and the kind of modern-tech and safety features you’d expect from a contemporary Buick.

Slide into the Encore GX, and you get more than just “SUV-ish” vibes. It’s got the smart-sounding rev of a turbo engine, smooth handling around town, and a cabin that doesn’t feel cheap. Inside you’ll find thoughtful touches like an 11-inch HD touchscreen for navigation or streaming your playlist, smartphone integration (wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto), and optional creature comforts; leather or leatherette seats, heated fronts, and more.

Cargo space is surprisingly generous for its size; fold down the rear seats and you’ve got enough room for grocery hauls, DIY trips, or even those unexpected pieces you find at a yard sale down by the Mississippi.

And on days when you need extra grip; maybe the roads out to Festus are a little slick; most 2026 Encore GX trims offer available all-wheel drive (AWD), giving you confidence whether it's rain, snow, or just a muddy backroad.

Buick doesn’t skimp on driver aids in the Encore GX. It comes with a suite of features designed to keep you safe and alert: forward collision warning, automatic braking, lane-keeping assist, rear-view camera, and more; all good if you’re navigating tight spots like downtown Herculaneum or backing out of a farm market.

Whether it's a quick run to the grocery store or a road-trip toward the Ozarks, you’ll appreciate that the Encore GX isn’t just a shopper; it’s a thoughtful travel partner.
