The GM Authority Take

Introduced for the 2010 model year, the first-generation Terrain is entering its eighth year in production for the 2017 model year. The crossover has received minor changes throughout its lifespan, but none of them have been major. As such, we imagine that the continuous decrease in Terrain sales is the result of new car buyers preferring newer, more modern crossovers from competing automakers.

As it happens, an all-new, second-generation GMC Terrain. Expected for the 2018 model year, the new Terrain will ride on an all-new architecture (GM’s D2 platform), feature all-new exterior and interior designs, become more fuel efficient, and shed some weight thanks to its new bones. It’s also expected to shrink slightly in exterior dimensions while maintaining the interior space of the current model.

As such, we expect that the introduction of the all-new, second-gen model will enable Terrain sales volume to rebound shortly after the vehicle launches in 2017.
