The GMC Terrain crossover is generating strong sales in The Great White North.
Speaking to GM Authority during a recent media event, a brand spokesperson confirmed the GMC Terrain is currently running at a 15-day turning rate in Canada. This means that an average of fifteen days passes between when the vehicle arrives at a Canadian dealership lot and when it’s sold to a customer. A turning rate is a good indicator of the overall level of demand for a given vehicle, and with most Terrain models spending very little time on a dealer lot before finding a buyer, it seems as though this nameplate is popular among Canadian consumers.
GMC also recently divulged to GM Authority that its aspirational sub-brands, such as Denali, AT4 and Elevation, account for a large percentage of their overall sales in the country. Of every GMC vehicle sold in Canada, 26 percent are a Denali, 25 percent are an AT4 and 22 percent are an Elevation.
The 2022 GMC Terrain introduced a mid-cycle enhancement (MCE) to the second-generation crossover, bringing with it revised exterior styling, new exterior and interior color options, a rejigged trim level lineup and new technology like wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A new Black Diamond Edition package was also recently introduced to the model’s order books, which is available to order with the Denali trim level only. This package includes the following content (relevant RPO codes listed in parentheses):
- Denali Premium Package content (PCV)
- SkyScape power sunroof (C3U)
- 19-inch aluminum painted wheels with After Midnight finish (PJO)
The 2022 GMC Terrain comes standard with the turbocharged 1.5L I4 LYX gasoline engine. Output is rated at 170 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and 203 pound-feet of torque at 2,000 rpm. It rides on the GM D2 platform and is produced at the GM San Luis Potosà plant in Mexico.

15 days, my @ss, how about 334 days since Terrain Denali was ordered, suposably built week of March 13. Still no idea when it will be here.
Any idea when the 2023 will be available to order?
Same here want to order a 2023 GMC Terrain Denali local dealer say cut off for 2022 GMC Terrain will be between middle of May to end of June and if I order one today more likely it will be here between 3-6 month and more likely it will be a 2023 model year if hopefully there are not stoppages due to part constraints or any other issues . Hopefully the situation will get better in the near future.
Yes, our local dealer recently said that GM was talking about converting 2022 orders, that haven’t been fulfilled yet, to 2023 models. I’m waiting to order until GM releases the exterior color options. I really like the satin steel metallic color, but it isn’t an option for the 2022 terrains.
From this site, I thought the 1.5 litre was a deal killer ! Hmmmm!
Terrain Denali finaly showed up one day shy of one year after it was ordered. Was built in February, where has it been for the last three months?
LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
