The new Terrain's exterior keeps a similar overall design to the outgoing version. It sports C-shaped LED running lights in front and an up-kink to the beltline at the C-pillar. The front grille is larger and rectangular, with the fascia featuring more angles and sharper edges. At the rear, you'll notice more straight lines, vertically-oriented reflectors, and smaller C-shaped taillights. GMC has also made the rear quarter windows larger.
Inside, the changes are more dramatic. The new Terrain boasts a 15-inch portrait-oriented digital screen in the center and an 11-inch digital display for the instrument cluster. GMC has packed the SUV with tech, including 15 driver-assist systems and Google Assistant. Buyers can opt for extras like a power liftgate, rain-sensing wipers, 5G hotspot connectivity, and eight exterior cameras.
Under the hood, the 2025 Terrain keeps the same turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine as the current model. It'll produce 175 horsepower and 203 pound-feet of torque. GMC has paired this with a new eight-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive will come standard at launch, with a front-wheel-drive model set to follow later.
2025 GMC Terrain
The 2025 Terrain will debut with the entry-level Elevation trim, replacing the current SLE and SLT models. It'll hit dealerships in late 2024. GMC plans to introduce the more off-road capable AT4 and luxury-oriented Denali trims for the 2026 model year.
While GMC hasn't announced pricing yet, it's likely to be higher than the current $30,095 starting price due to the new tech and standard all-wheel drive. The company will reveal more details closer to the on-sale date.
This next-generation Terrain marks a significant step forward for GMC's entry-level SUV. With its blend of familiar styling and new technology, GMC hopes to maintain the Terrain's popularity in the competitive SUV market.
