Like its sibling the 2025 Chevy Equinox, the GMC Terrain has been fully redesigned. It should arrive at dealers very soon, if it hasn't already, and among its many changes is a slight price hike and an adjustment to the trim line-up. While the price increases, the amount of standard equipment does, too.
The new starting price for the Terrain is $31,395, including the $1,395 destination charge. That's according to the online configuration tool, and the price is for the new Elevation trim.
Elevation supplants the SLE and SLT trims as the entry point for the model. This is also the price for the front-wheel-drive variant.
Adding all-wheel-drive is listed as adding $2,000 to the base price, bringing it to $33,395 with destination.
The configuration tool when we used it was automatically adding the $2,700 Elevation Premium Package. It may be a case of the initial run being equipped with the package by default, as GMC notes certain features may have restricted availability at the start.
The package includes useful features such as a power-adjustable driver seat, dual-zone automatic climate control, power hatchback, rain-sensing wipers, leatherette seating and 19-inch alloy wheels. But be aware if you're looking for all-wheel-drive on a budget.
Most obvious in the Terrain's redesign is the styling, but especially on the interior. The Terrain now features a dash that's wholly unique to the GMC, and borrows from other GMC models with a tall vertically-oriented screen.
The dash is also generally squared-off and clean compared to the swoopier shapes on other GM products like the Chevrolet Traverse.
Standard equipment improves with the new Terrain as well. It now includes heated front seats, heated steering wheel, a 15-inch infotainment screen (more than double the size of the old screen), remote start and adaptive cruise control on the comfort and convenience side.
When it comes to safety, the Terrain adds standard reverse automatic emergency braking, rear-cross traffic alert, blind-spot warning with emergency steering assist and rear parking sensors.
As for the powertrain, the Terrain will continue to use a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder making 175 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque.
But now it's coupled to a CVT with front-wheel drive, and an eight-speed automatic transmission with all-wheel drive.
The Terrain will also eventually be available in AT4 and Denali trim levels. The AT4 will have unique 17-inch wheels with all-terrain tires and revised styling with signature cues such as red recovery hooks and some underbody protection.
The Denali will be the range-topper with 20-inch wheels, rear heated seats, and unique shocks for improved ride quality.
