The Preferred trim is the smart entry point to the 2026 Encore GX. It includes cloth with leatherette seating, 18-inch Bright Silver aluminum wheels, and the responsive 1.3-liter Turbo engine.

Technology is front and center: you get the ultrawide 11-inch infotainment screen, 8-inch Driver Information Center, plus wireless Apple CarPlay and Android AutoTM connectivity-all standard. The cabin seats up to five with flexible 40/60 split rear seats, and you can add a flat-folding front-passenger seatback for extra cargo versatility.

It's the trim that balances value and capability for everyday driving. For exact pricing and current offers, contact Markquart Motors at (715) 833-0444 or browse our inventory online.
