2026 Buick Encore GX Preferred Lease Offer in Indiana
The Encore GX Preferred is Buick's small crossover, and this offer runs at Ed Martin Buick GMC of Anderson, on State Road 9 just north of I-69 Exit 226. Anderson is the seat of Madison County, where the land is flat and winter arrives as ice and freeze-thaw more often than as deep snow, which is the week-in, week-out driving a light front-wheel-drive crossover is built for.

Why Lease a New Buick Encore GX?
Leasing fits a vehicle like the Encore GX, where the screen and the driver-assistance hardware move faster than the sheet metal does. A lease keeps you on the current version of that equipment rather than the one that happened to ship the month you signed. It also keeps the crossover under its comprehensive factory warranty through its peak performance years, so what you spend on it stays close to what you planned. For a driver who wants a small crossover that stays quiet and easy on fuel, and who expects to want the next one when it lands, that is a cleaner arrangement than buying this one outright.
Vehicle Features
Performance and Powertrain
The Encore GX Preferred runs a 1.3L turbocharged three-cylinder engine through the front wheels. It is EPA-certified at 29 city, 31 highway and 30 combined miles per gallon. The highway number is the one that earns its keep in Central Indiana, where a steady cruise is most of the trip. At 171.1 inches overall, it slots into a downtown space without a second attempt, so you are not driving something larger than your week actually requires.
Interior and Technology
Inside, an 11-inch diagonal HD color touchscreen runs the infotainment, with wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto so a phone connects the moment you get in. Buick QuietTuning is standard here rather than an upgrade, and it keeps the cabin calm at road speed. Five people fit, and the 40/60 split-folding rear seat means you can carry passengers and cargo at the same time. Cargo runs 23.5 cubic feet behind the rear seats, and folding them opens the floor to 50.2 cubic feet.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Buick Driver Confidence is the name for the driver-assistance equipment that comes standard here, and two of its pieces do the daily work. Automatic Emergency Braking watches the road ahead; Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning watches the lines beside you. Together they cover the front and the sides of an ordinary commute, and they count for most on mornings when the pavement is slicker than the forecast suggested. None of it replaces attention, and none of it is optional: it is on the Preferred trim as it leaves the factory.
