The Preferred trim is the smart entry point to the 2026 Buick Encore GX, balancing comfort, technology, and value. You get cloth-leatherette seating for a refined cabin feel, 18-inch Bright Silver painted aluminum wheels, and the responsive 1.3-liter Turbo engine with impressive efficiency.

Standard on Preferred is the ultrawide 11-inch infotainment screen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus the 8-inch reconfigurable Driver Information Center. The flexible 40/60 split rear seats give you adaptable cargo space for everyday adventures. This trim makes modern tech and practical convenience standard without unnecessary extras-perfect if you want confident performance and connectivity without stepping up to sportier or more luxurious options.
