Premium 2018 GMC Terrain Denali To Start At $38,495

For those soon-to-be GMC Terrain owners seeking a bit more “premium” than the base model offers, the all-new, 2018 GMC Terrain Denali will wear an MSRP of $38,495 when it goes on sale this summer.

Completely redesigned for the 2018 model year, the new GMC Terrain Denali ships exclusively with a turbocharged, 2.0-liter LTG inline-4, rated at 252 horsepower. That engine will send its power through GM’s new 9T50 9-speed automatic transmission, with a choice of either front-wheel or all-wheel drive. Opting for the latter drivetrain will tack an extra $1,800 onto the sticker price, for a starting MSRP of $40,295.

Ponying up for the range-topping “Denali” trim comes with some visually-striking perks, like LED headlamps and 19-inch wheels with a machined-aluminum finish. The grille is a dazzling piece with a more intricate, hexagonal pattern that instantly sets it apart from the lesser trim levels. In addition, the Denali comes standard with a heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel, a programmable, hands-free power liftgate, an 8-inch infotainment screen with navigation, and a premium Bose audio system with seven speakers.

Standard safety features in the 2018 GMC Terrain Denali include Side Blind Zone Alert with Lane Change Alert, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Rear Park Assist, and a Safety Alert Seat.

We’ll have more info on pricing and options for the 2018 GMC Terrain Denali when the online configurator goes live, so stay tuned.

    1. “Expesive compact vehicle.”

      If the product is good, size won’t matter.

      Consider both the above Terrain Denali and the Jeep Compass. Both are compact FWD, SUV’s with 4 cylinder engines, but only one is worth owning and driving.

      1. I think you meant Cherokee right and not compass?

  2. Wasn’t it told that the terrain will have the auto park assist?

  3. I’d skip the 19″ wheels. The lower profile tire makes for a rougher ride. Especially if they are run flats.

  4. Does this price include the run in it got with the ugly stick?

  5. Nice enough looking vehicle. Shame about that stupid push and pull shifter that nobody asked for.

  6. Why did they change the front, I think it is ugly, I like the other better! For that reason I would not buy that car.

    1. Are you talking about the whole terrain in general or just the Denali?

      Reply
  7. Does the Denali have cooled and heated front passenger seats? I can’t find that listed anywhere on it’s web site.

    1. I think there is
