The overview

Redesigned for 2025, the GMC Terrain SUV is similar in size and mechanical details to its predecessor, and the related Chevrolet Equinox. It is again powered by a 175-hp, 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that is paired with a 8-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive and front-wheel drive are available on the Elevation at launch. The Terrain offers three trims: Elevation, AT4, and Denali, each with its own styling touches. The AT4 is the off-road, adventure-focused version, while the Denali is positioned as the luxury choice. All share an interior that houses a vertically-oriented 15-inch center infotainment screen, along with standard niceties like heated front seats and steering wheel. A comprehensive list of standard driver assistance and safety systems finally puts the Terrain on equal footing with its peers.

Behind the data

Latest source update: September 11, 2026

Vehicle summaries, specifications, pricing and ratings come from Consumer Reports vehicle records. Auto Guide groups these records by model and reported generation start year.

Available years are listed explicitly. Gaps do not imply that a model was discontinued. Prices are source estimates, not live offers. No first-hand road test by Auto Guide is claimed.
