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

Standard features include the ultrawide 11-inch infotainment screen and 8-inch reconfigurable driver display-both with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The flexible 40/60 split rear seats and available flat-folding front-passenger seatback give you versatility for cargo when you need it.

It's an excellent choice if you want modern tech and capable performance without premium frills. Contact Markquart Motors at (715) 833-0444 to explore current pricing and schedule a test drive.
