GMC Unveils 2025 Terrain

The 2025 GMC Terrain continues to share its platform with the Chevrolet Equinox but brings distinct GMC styling to the table.

The new design is immediately noticeable, particularly with a front end inspired by the GMC Canyon. The hood has been raised for a more muscular appearance, and the fenders have been bulked up to match. An optional painted roof adds a visual distinction, with gray available for black cars and black for others.

For 2025, the Terrain will be available only in the Elevation trim, with the AT4 and Denali models set to follow in the 2026 model year. These upcoming trims will feature unique grille designs, wheel options, and specific styling details. The AT4 will include off-road features like a suspension lift, all-terrain tires, underbody skid plates, recovery hooks, and a special terrain drive mode. The Denali will focus on comfort and luxury with features like “Smart Frequency Dampers” and more standard equipment.

All trims of the 2025 Terrain will be powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, the same setup found in the new Equinox. Initially, the 2025 model will be all-wheel drive only, with a front-wheel drive version expected in 2026. The all-wheel drive variant will have a towing capacity of 1,500 pounds.

Inside, the 2025 Terrain sees significant updates, including a tall portrait-oriented 15-inch touchscreen and an 11-inch digital instrument cluster, both standard. The system runs on Android Automotive software, featuring Google Maps and Google Assistant, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto also included. New features in this generation include a rear camera mirror, an automatic liftgate, rain-sensing wipers, a heated wiper park zone, 5G Wi-Fi hotspot capability, and expanded driver assistance systems, though Super Cruise will not be offered.

Pricing for the 2025 Terrain has not been announced, but the model is expected to launch in late 2024. The AT4 and Denali trims are planned to be available within the 2025 calendar year, with a full rollout for the 2026 model year.
