The GMC Terrain is a compact SUV that has been a popular choice for families and commuters alike since its introduction in 2009. For the 2025 model year, GMC has completely redesigned the Terrain, giving it a more stylish and sophisticated look, an all-new interior with the latest technology, and a number of new safety features. In this article, we will take a closer look at the all-new 2025 GMC Terrain and see how it elevates the compact SUV segment.
Bold New Design
The first thing you'll notice about the 2025 Terrain is its bold new design. The SUV has been given a more muscular and aggressive look, with a wider stance and a more prominent grille. The new Terrain also features new LED headlights and taillights, as well as a new available two-tone roof option that allows you to personalize your SUV.
Tech-Centric Interior
The interior of the 2025 Terrain has been completely redesigned as well. The new interior is more luxurious and driver-focused, with a focus on comfort and technology. The most striking feature of the new interior is the massive 15-inch touchscreen infotainment system. This system is standard on all Terrain models and comes with Android Automotive OS, which includes Google Maps as the native navigation system and Google Assistant for voice commands. The new Terrain also features an available 11-inch digital instrument cluster, which can be customized to show the information that is most important to you.
Safety First
GMC has made safety a top priority with the 2025 Terrain. The SUV comes standard with a number of new safety features, including Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist, and Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Traffic Alert. Additionally, a number of advanced safety features are available, such as Adaptive Cruise Control and a Surround-View Camera System.
Powertrain
Under the hood, the 2025 Terrain comes with a single engine option: a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 175 horsepower and 203 pound-feet of torque. This engine is paired with a new eight-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive is standard on the Elevation trim, while front-wheel drive will be available on lower trims at a later date.
Trim Levels
The 2025 Terrain will be available in three trim levels: Elevation, AT4, and Denali. The Elevation trim is the base model and comes with a good amount of standard features, including the 15-inch touchscreen infotainment system, an 11-inch digital instrument cluster, and a number of standard safety features. The AT4 trim is designed for off-road enthusiasts and comes with a number of additional features, such as a more rugged suspension, unique wheels, and skid plates. The Denali trim is the top-of-the-line model and comes with all of the features of the Elevation and AT4 trims, as well as a number of additional luxury features, such as a leather-trimmed interior and a Bose sound system.
