The GM Authority Take

Introduced for the 2010 model year, the first-generation Terrain is now in its eighth year on the market. Though the crossover has received some changes and updates during its lifespan, none of them were significant, a circumstance that makes the vehicle the oldest in its segment, a factor that makes its sales performance in March quite impressive. In the near future, GMC will launch the all-new, second-generation GMC Terrain, a vehicle that rides on an all-new architecture (GM’s D2 platform) and features all-new exterior, interior, and powertrain family.

When compared to the outgoing model, the all-new Terrain is more fuel efficient and lighter thanks to its platform and all-new powertrain lineup. It also has slightly smaller in exterior dimensions while maintaining the interior space of the first-gen model. As such, we expect that the introduction of the all-new, second-gen model will enable Terrain sales volumes to grow even further after the vehicle completes its launch process during the 2017 calendar year.

The 2018 GMC Terrain will launch in the summer of 2017 and will be produced at the GM San Luis Potosí plant by GM Mexico.
