EMBRACE ADVENTURE WITH THE NEXT GENERATION GMC TERRAIN

FOLLOW US

Break from the pack with the Next Generation GMC Terrain, designed for those who crave adventure in comfort and style. This standout 5-passenger SUV combines bold exterior styling with a refined and purposefully crafted interior, making it the perfect vehicle for every lifestyle. With impressive performance and capability, the GMC Terrain ensures you’re ready to make the most of any adventure, big or small.

THREE DISTINCTIVE TRIMS

The Terrain lineup begins with the 2025 Terrain Elevation, followed by the 2026 Terrain Denali and the 2026 Terrain AT4 — each with its own character and features.

Terrain Elevation sets a new standard with its array of advanced features. Its standard comfort and convenience features like heated front seats, heated steering wheel, adaptive cruise control and remote start make this compact SUV a comfortable and luxurious ride. Standard 17'' wheels provide a strong foundation, and the all-wheel-drive models will come equipped with Off-Road mode. Off-Road mode is designed to help improve traction, maneuverability and handling confidence in off-road conditions like sand, gravel and mud. The optional two-tone roof — a first for the Terrain — helps make this SUV stand out even more. For a more dramatic look, the Black Edition is available with 19'' gloss black wheels, a painted black grille and roof mounted side rails, and more, adding a sleek and modern touch to this already stylish vehicle. With over 15 standard safety features available on the Elevation, you’ll get to where you’re going with added confidence. 

For those who like to forge their own paths, Terrain AT4 (expected availability spring 2025) offers a unique appearance with a variety of premium and capability features that are exclusive to this trim level. Its unique grille and red recovery hooks* enhance the athletic look, while the front skid plate and metal underbody shield offers additional protection. Standard 17'' wheels with a true all-terrain tire to enhance strength and durability on and off-road, and a lifted ride height help tackle obstacles with ease. Additionally, Terrain Mode adjusts shift mapping and traction control and adds automatic braking to maximize performance in varying road or surface conditions.  

Terrain Denali (expected availability spring 2025), is the epitome of luxury and performance. Chrome accents and premium standard 19'' wheels give it a distinguished and upscale appearance. Terrain Denali also has an available 20'' wheel which is the largest factory wheel size ever offered on a Terrain. The distinctive Denali grille and luxurious interior finishes ensure that every drive is a premium experience. Premium comfort features like driver and front passenger heated and ventilated seats and rear outboard heated seats plus enhanced ride comfort with Denali Premium Suspension, make this premium SUV the ultimate choice if you demand the best in both style and functionality.

NEXT-LEVEL TECHNOLOGY

When it comes to state-of-the-art tech, Terrain does not disappoint. This next-generation small SUV features several impressive innovations to keep you riding into the future. The 11'' Driver Information Center offers enhanced views so the driver can customize display content to their preferences. 

The real showstopper is the 15'' Diagonal Premium GMC Infotainment System* that’s more than twice the size on the current model GMC Terrain SLE. The large display allows drivers and passengers the ability to customize and view three applications at a time in a way that makes sense for quick and easy access. You can also drag and drop your favorite apps into the app tray allowing for one-touch access from anywhere in the system.  

Not only does Terrain feature this advanced tech, it’s smart, too. It can be customized for smart actions like bringing your IntelliBeam function front and center when you’re driving at night. The technology in the Terrain provides you what you need when you need it.

Other unique and new features include the available Rainsense wipers and an available heated wiper park for added convenience. And you’ll never have to fumble for the tailgate again with Terrain’s new available AutoSense Power Liftgate. While standing behind the vehicle, the Liftgate will sense your key fob and automatically raise after four beeps, providing easy hands-free access to the spacious cargo area.

STANDOUT SAFETY AND DRIVER ASSISTANCE FEATURES*

Terrain is equipped with HD Surround Vision* and an available Rear Camera Mirror* which provide remarkable visibility and up to 8 available camera views for your peace of mind. If your rear view is blocked with passengers or cargo, the Rear Camera Mirror — the first ever on Terrain — provides an unobstructed live camera feed of the area behind your vehicle. Plus, with 15 standard safety features, including several new features* like Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking,* Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking,* and Rear Cross Traffic Braking,* Terrain helps you get there with added confidence.

BOLD EXTERIOR DESIGN

Terrain’s rugged and athletic look is designed to turn heads and handle any adventure with ease. Its proud upright hood and strong grille with connected headlamps create a unique and distinctive front-end view. Its wider track and strong emphasis on its fenders gives more volume and mass around the wheel, creating a more confident and capable profile. Meanwhile, the leaner, chiseled body and wider track ensure it stands out both on and off the road.

UNMATCHED COMFORT AND STYLE

Outside, Terrain may be ready to go off the beaten path at a moment’s notice. But once you step inside, you’re surrounded by luxurious materials and modern conveniences. Wider front seats than previous models, premium materials and chrome décor create a sophisticated and stylish look, while the heated front seats and heated steering wheel enhance your comfort. The electronic transmission range selection (ETRS) in the steering column frees up space to create a simple, clean and functional interior with practical storage solutions to ensure everything has its place.

ULTIMATE DRIVING EXPERIENCE

Every detail of the Next Generation GMC Terrain has been carefully considered, including its capable powertrain. With its standard 1.5L turbocharged engine delivering 175 hp and 184 lb.-ft. of torque on FWD models, or 175 hp and 203 lb.-ft. of torque on AWD models, Terrain provides powerful performance in all driving conditions. 
 
The 8-speed automatic transmission for all-wheel-drive models is standard on AT4 and Denali trims (available on Elevation) and helps improve normal driving with smooth power delivery and efficiency. The continuously variable transmission’s (CVT) comes standard on the Elevation FWD models. CVT helps simulate step gear shifting to enhance acceleration and reduce noise at higher engine loads and speeds, making driving more enjoyable.

Terrain’s advanced AWD capability and available Off-Road Mode ensure you can tackle varying road environments with confidence. The AWD model also comes standard with Hill Descent Control that allows you to drive downhill safely and at a controlled speed on a steep slope or through uneven and rough terrain. Tailored driving modes optimize performance for various conditions, providing precise control whether you’re on smooth highways or challenging off-road terrain. This small SUV is engineered to enhance your driving experience no matter the adventure. 

READY FOR ANY ADVENTURE

The Next Generation GMC Terrain is more than just a rugged and capable off-road SUV. It’s a statement of boldness, impressive luxury and refined design. Whether you’re navigating city streets or exploring off-road trails, Terrain is built to enhance every journey. Embrace your spirit of adventure and experience the next generation of driving excellence with the GMC Terrain.
