The 2020 GMC Terrain will come standard with a suite of active safety technology that General Motors is referring to as GMC Pro Safety.
The GMC Pro Safety package (this is the first we’ve ever heard GMC reference the Pro Safety name, by the way) will be standard on all trim levels for the crossover and will include the following:
- Automatic Emergency Braking
- Forward Collision Alert
- Lane Keep Assistance with Lane Departure Warning
- Following Distance Indicator
- Front Pedestrian Braking
- IntelliBeam Headlamps
In addition, customers can add an extra layer of safety to the crossover by ticking the box for the optional Driver Alert Package, which includes camera-based Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Change Alert, Side Blind Zone Alert, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Rear Park Assist and Safety Alert Seat. If you add the Driver Alert Package to a range-topping 2020 GMC Terrain Denali model, you will also get Front Park Assist in addition to Rear Park Assist.
GM faced questioning over its lack of standard active safety features in its vehicles during its Q2 earnings call this past week. The automaker does not offer standard active safety features on many of models and lags behind brands like Honda, which includes them on even its most basic models, such as the Civic.
Company CEO Mary Barra said the company is “committed,” to offering standard active safety tech across its entire vehicle portfolio, but said it is only including it on vehicles in certain segments right now.
There are few other small updates made to the 2020 GMC Terrain as well. The Terrain Black Edition has been renamed the Terrain Elevation Edition, but receives no other changes over the 2019 model. The Denali Premium Package, meanwhile, now combines the Advanced Safety Package and Comfort Package to include camera-based adaptive cruise, ventilated driver and front passenger seats and heated rear seats. The Terrain Denali also gets a new premium suspension with different internal valves for a more refined ride, as we reported previously.
Don’t forget the 2020 GMC Terrain has also ditched its optional 1.6-liter LH7 diesel engine for 2020, leaving just the 1.5-liter LYX four-cylinder and turbocharged 2.0-liter LTG four-cylinder.
Pricing for the 2020 GMC Terrain has not yet been announced.

I A T!!!!
A $16K Toyota Yaris comes with these features standard, and has since 2018…. This is sad, and rather disappointing news.
The 2018 Yaris ? wow…Good thing someone is pay attention to the Yaris.
Ford announced they will be adding standard active safety features on the majority of their vehicles for 2020…
I have the 2019 Cadillac xt4 and ttev2019 terrain. I paid extra for all of those safer features and none of them work . Been to the dealer 10 times and was told that they are all working as designed. When I get a loaner car the features also do t work . I would never buy a GM car again.
I cAlled gm to complain and got India who said there is nothing that can be done .
If you cannot operate your spell check, why should we believe you are capable of operating your car’s advanced features?
what safety features aren’t working…?
Right-side blind spot alert light in my right-side mirror.
At 43k CAD my 2019 Terrain SLT doesnt have any ASF. While the CRV EXL at 37k CAD does have the Honda sensing tech.
6k difference is a lot for those tech.
On my 2017 and 2015 terrain when I went over the line while off. On my new cars it never goes off. Sometimes it will push me back into the lane but usually not. The dealer road tested with me a few times and it never worked which is when they told me that’s the way the new system works. The collision alert never worked until they did a software update and now it works sometimes. The emergency braking doesn’t work as well as the front parking sensors on the Cadillac will light up but never sounds . Also if you want air conditioning in the terrain and your in traffic when the engine shuts so does the air. Also told that it’s normal
I have documents that my tech was given which cars are affected and what to tell the customers when they complain that these safety features don’t work an alert would go
I am worried about the piston ring problem with my 2013 Terrain built march 2013, the engine oil is starting to smell as it maybe getting combustion past the rings and soon may well be starting to use oil, at 64,000 + miles I should not have to be checking oil level. This is the best vehicle ever and I don’t like the rear windows on the new models, maybe back to Honda CRV. WE really like every thing about this SUV and don’t want to get rid of it
