The **Preferred trim** is the smart starting point for the 2026 Encore GX, combining comfort and technology at a great value.

You get cloth-leatherette seating, 18-inch Bright Silver aluminum wheels, and all the modern tech: an 11-inch infotainment screen, 8-inch Driver Information Center, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and the responsive 1.3-liter Turbo engine.

Flexible 40/60 split rear seats give you adaptable cargo space for everyday needs. The Preferred trim delivers everything you need in a compact SUV without unnecessary extras-refined, practical, and efficient.
