GMC Terrain: Small SUV, Big Potential

Explore the categories below to discover more about the features of the GMC Terrain.

PERFORMANCE

GMC Terrain

Between commuting to work, shuttling the kids to school and activities, and running errands, you rely on your SUV to take you reliably from Point A to Point B without hesitation. The GMC Terrain is up to the task, providing substantial power without sacrificing efficiency.

Power Your Everyday Adventure

The GMC Terrain features a 1.5-liter Turbo engine that delivers 175 horsepower. This engine balances spirited acceleration and impressive fuel economy, making it ideal for all types of driving, from weekday commutes to weekend getaways. Whether merging onto the highway or navigating hilly backroads, the Terrain's performance ensures you'll feel confident behind the wheel.

With its standard CVT (Continuous Variable Transmission) , the Terrain provides smooth and responsive shifts, enhancing your driving experience. Drivers who value control will appreciate available all-wheel drive (AWD) , which improves traction on slippery and slick roads and steep hills, and—for adventurous types who love to explore the great outdoors—light off-road trails.

Go the Extra Mile

With an EPA-estimated 26 city/28 highway MPG rating, the Terrain prioritizes efficiency without compromising capability. Plus, its 14.8-gallon fuel tank means you’ll make fewer stops at the pump and spend more time enjoying life on the road, wherever it may lead.

Its standard Drive Mode Selector enables you to choose how your Terrain responds to different driving scenarios:

  • FWD Models: Normal and Snow modes
  • AWD Models: Normal, AWD, Snow, and Off-Road modes

In conjunction with your good driving habits, these drive modes can assist with power delivery, stability, and overall ride quality, including fuel economy.

DESIGN

GMC Terrain

The GMC Terrain’s design is the perfect union of rugged and refined. It makes an impressive statement that enables it to distinguish itself from other SUVs while catering to your specific needs with luxury-level amenities.

Head-Turning Exterior

The GMC Terrain’s bold exterior design stands out in a crowded compact SUV market. Its signature LED headlamps and taillamps and distinctive upright grille exude a sense of confidence and sophistication, while aerodynamic lines enhance both style and efficiency. Standard 17-inch machined aluminum wheels, with optional 19-inch upgrades, provide a commanding stance that’s equally at home in the city or on rural backroads.

For drivers seeking the ultimate personalization, the Terrain offers a two-tone roof in Sterling Metallic or Ebony Twilight Metallic. Further express yourself with one of the available packages or the special Black Edition, including 19-inch Gloss Black wheels, Black roof rails, darkened front grille, Black exterior accents, and badging.

Comfortable Cabin

The Terrain’s cabin was designed for comfort and functionality. Its standard Driver Convenience Package includes heated front seats, heated steering wheel, and Remote Start, among other features. An available panoramic power sunroof allows sky-high views while flooding the cabin with natural sunlight.

Although considered a small SUV, the Terrain’s interior provides plenty of room for everyone on board to stretch out, no matter where they’re seated.

Headroom (Front/Rear Row)
Legroom (Front/Rear Row)
40.6/39.2 inches44/39.7 inches

The 60/40 split-folding rear seats allow you to configure the cabin based on your passengers-to-cargo ratio. Behind the rear row, you’ll have 29.8 cubic feet to stow groceries, backpacks, sports gear, and more. That area expands to 63.5 cubic feet with the rear seats folded flat for transporting additional or larger items.

The Terrain also features a standard Wi-Fi® hotspot, ideal for staying connected to home or the office during long commutes or to keep the kids entertained on an extended family road trip. Available wireless charging keeps everyone’s devices powered no matter where you roam without cords cluttering the cabin.

Protection = Peace of Mind

Safety is a priority for all drivers as well as for GMC, which equips the Terrain with a suite of more than 16 standard driver-assistance technologies, including:

  • Adaptive Cruise Control/Following Distance Indicator
  • Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking
  • Blind Zone Steering Assist/Rear Cross Traffic Braking
  • Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
  • Forward Collision Alert/Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking
  • And many more!

These safety systems work together to help prevent or mitigate accidents, making the GMC Terrain a standout choice for families and solo drivers.

For drivers seeking even greater security, the Terrain offers optional enhancements, including HD Surround Vision with up to eight camera views. The Terrain also features an available Rear Camera Mirror and available Rear Camera Washer, ensuring the view behind your SUV is always crystal-clear. These advanced features increase your confidence, whether navigating tight parking spots or cruising on the highway.

GMC Terrain vs. The Competition

GMC TerrainChevy Equinox

As two models under the General Motors umbrella, the GMC Terrain and the Chevy Equinox have many similarities, including their equipped engines, nearly identical sizes, and various amenities. That said, the Terrain’s additional legroom, larger touchscreen, and sport-style steering wheel may appeal to drivers who like to stretch out and get more without upgrading.
