The GM Authority Take
With the all-new, second-generation GMC Terrain set to launch this summer, the decline in current Terrain sales is expected as production of the model is phased out at the GM CAMI factory operated by GM Canada, inventory levels are depleted, and remaining stock is sold out. GM reportedly planned for this scenario and built up inventory of its key models ahead of the product transition, though Terrain are down regardless.
The all-new Terrain will be manufactured by GM Mexico at the GM San Luis Potosi factory. The vehicle rides on an all-new architecture — GM’s D2 platform — and features all-new exterior, interior, and powertrain family.

2018 GMC Terrain Denali
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’s also slightly smaller in exterior dimensions while maintaining the interior space of the first-gen model. Hence, we expect that the introduction of the all-new, second-gen model will enable Terrain sales volumes to grow after the vehicle completes its launch process in 2017.

Comments
I still fear this update is going to result in GMC shooting itself in the foot. The prior Terrain was my favorite GMC car I’d never buy and the Acadia fugly. With the new designs everything is reversed. I simply don’t like LOOKING at this car.
Then there’s the poorly designed left to right button shifts. You couldn’t give me this car with those shifts, ten years of insurance and full warranty. Nope. It’s OBVIOUSLY poor design.
A competitor offers a DIAL KNOB shift. Far more intuitive.
Yet them dial in the Chrysler has resulted into wrong gear accidents.
Truth is it should have remained a lever on the console.
If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
But as for the new Terrain I will wait for my first drive before I praise or condemn it. An informed opinion is a smart opinion.
The Acadia is light years ahead of our Terrain. It will be the next replacment
Ah so we blame GMC for doing the push button transmission and not Lincoln? Okay
Hell the Edsel and many Chrysler products along with many other cars over history have used buttons.
Some here complain GM does not take a chance then complain when they do.
The American population’s buying habits for vehicles is a preference for CUV in place of sedans which means it’s time for domestic auto builders to not treat the CUV they’re building as being a truck and more like a car which means affording all of the options a sedan might have available in a CUV and this includes a high performance engine option as European CUV builders have already realized this and it’s now up to General Motors to play catch up.
To do performance one needs to do so wisely.
Most Euro performance models are high end models not the average FWD based family truckster.
Second the truck the more truck looking the better in the larger models.
Also performance accounts for a very low percentage of sales in the value volume brands.
Also performance is limited in any CUV due to the high center of gravity. Most are window dressing for profits even the Porsche.
I have a 2013 Terrain. I’m noticing new rattles every week. 2.4L Ecotec is a horrid engine. I hate to say it, but this may be the last time I purchase a GM vehicle.
