The Preferred trim is the smart entry point to the 2026 Buick Encore GX, delivering comfort and modern technology at great value.

You get cloth-leatherette seating, 18-inch Bright Silver painted aluminum wheels, and the standard 1.3-liter Turbo engine. Inside, the ultrawide 11-inch infotainment screen and 8-inch Driver Information Center with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, making it easy to stay connected. The flexible 40/60 split rear seats and optional flat-folding front-passenger seatback give you versatile cargo space for everyday adventures.

It's a well-balanced trim that doesn't compromise on the features that matter. Start exploring current inventory or call (715) 833-0444 to schedule a test drive at Markquart Motors.
