GM is currently developing the next-generation GMC Terrain crossover, per recent statements made by GM President Mark Reuss.
During the recent GM Investor Day event held November 17th, Reuss provided a few interesting insights with regard to the upcoming next-gen GMC Terrain. During a presentation, Reuss stated that, like the Chevy Equinox, the GMC Terrain competed “in the largest segment in the world,” and that the next-gen model would receive “sort of the GMC Professional Grade upgrade.”
“I gotta tell you, it’s one of the most beautiful SUVs in that segment,” Reuss said. “Again, very GMC, very truck, very Professional Grade, so a big interior and exterior enhancement for the Terrain.”
The upcoming next-gen GMC Terrain will debut during the 2024 calendar year, and will be offered for either the 2024 model year, or 2025 model year.
With regard to sales, the current GMC Terrain sold 17,917 units in Q3 of the 2022 calendar year, a year-over-year increase of nearly 81 percent compared to the 9,901 units sold during Q3 of the 2021 calendar year. With regard to the broader mainstream compact crossover segment, those figures placed the GMC Terrain below the Ford Bronco Sport, which sold 21,427 units in Q3 of 2022, and above the Jeep Cherokee, which sold 11,495 units in Q3 of 2022. At the top of the segment was the Toyota RAV4, which sold 102,456 units, followed by the Honda CR-V with 62,085 units sold, and the Chevy Equinox, with 46,646 units sold.

As a reminder, the current GMC Terrain features the turbocharged 1.5L I4 LSD gasoline engine for motivation, with output rated at a maximum of 170 horsepower and 203 pound-feet of torque, all of which is directed through the GM nine-speed automatic transmission. Under the skin, the Terrain rides on the GM D2 platform, while production takes place at the GM San Luis Potosà plant in Mexico.

Any mention if it’s going electric or staying gas/diesel?
It is gasoline powered.
The 2024 redesign needs a nice little power and excellent on fuel economy with some nice feature enhancements specially in Denali trim gm u forgot u are supposed to be professional grade I’m still waiting !!!
They need to come out Whitt something different like nitrogen power Whitt electric
Hopefully they do I nice job on the redesign and make look like a c u v that people want to buy and really give us some great features and maybe a little better engine/hybrid choice and possibly some towing capacity and a Denali version that actually feels and drives like a Denali please don’t make it look like a ford bronco !!! Horrible design!!
It’s needs a better engine option. My 2015 Terrain came with the 3.6 V6 with 300hp. I’ll be due for a new vehicle around the time several refreshed models are coming out and I like this size vehicle my daily commute. But the newer engine choices are pathetic. I say this of course without having driven them, but I don’t see them being as sporty or right sized for the vehicle.
Have the 2.0T Denali. It feels as powerful as the 3.6.
Should have figured this because there will be a next generation Equinox along side the new eV one as well over at Chevrolet
Well, if Mark says it’s beautiful, it probably is good looking. But then he says that it’s “very truck” -which leads me to believe that it’ll have a big GMC grille.
Put back a traditional gear shifter instead of the push buttons (not “professional grade”) and I’ll consider buying it.
Does GM Authority ever see a time where buyers will have an engine option (like the 2.7 turbo GMC truck engine) offered in a GMC? Or even with the higher end Cadillac models? I have a 3.6 Terrain and a 3.0 (2011) Terrain which are great. We tried a 2.0 Turbo and ot was NOT equivalent to the 3.6.
Not equivalent how? Mine is very fast but haven’t towed anything yet.
I’m happy to share my opinion. First of all, no offense to the 2.0 Turbo. I have this engine in our 2007 Saturn SKY REDLINE (rated 260 hp @ 360 ft lbs or .87 hp per lb of vehicle weight). Very fun for this type of vehicle (BUT NO snow driving 😆)
Second , being fast as you said your 2.0 Turbo ( rated at 252 hp @ 260 ft lbs or .65 hp per pound – 370 LB DIFFERENCE WITH ENGINE WEIGH ADJUSTED Terrain is) is…. true but another consideration we had is feel and balance. Our 3.6 Terrain (rated at 301 hp @ 272 ft lbs or .764 hp per lb) is the comparison vehicle here. When we tested (to replace my 2011 3.0 Terrain) a new Terrain with the 2.0 T as the only available up grade. Is was a nice snowy night and the roads were bad and plowed (yes, our dealer trusts us; we’ve been buying cars there since 1968) and my “test driver” (named Mario by her friends) took the first turn driving out. Getting out to the street was typical plow drift. AWD kicked in. I looked at my wife (test driver) and she immediately said, “hmmm…. I can tell the difference handling the drifts.” Dealer said “turn off traction control (?) It will give you more feel). YES….more scary feel 😆. I drove and same opinion. My test basically didn’t change anything.
Again, I think the bottom line is that GM is making me choose to go to a (approx) $3,000 more base model than add $3,000 to upgrade to a bigger (hopefully 2.7 Turbo) in the Cadillac version.
I don’t drive in snow anymore so only comparing fwd. Love the acceleration and handling of my 2020 2.0T, it’s a sleeper and often surprises the kids racing around Orlando in their Japanese sports coups. Looking to test it pulling a small camping trailer in the Rockies.
I can appreciate the sleeper comment! 😆 Many times the 3.6 (only mod is K&N air filter) surprises the rice burners. And in inclement weather, the big, glass packed RAM HEMI truck owners just shake their heads as we pull away at a stop lights. Hey, I’m 70 yes old but still a gear head!
Wish they kept the diesel option. Love my 2018 SLT.
If only has the 1.5 L or loses the folding pass seat then I won’t look at it.
I won’t buy the1.5L only because I sometimes pull a trailer of more than1500 lbs, otherwise I would consider it.
“beautiful” “very truck” “professional grade” – these words by Mark Reuss tell me the new GMC Terrain will look more like the GMC Sierra. Nothing here suggests it will include more power, but the improvements will probably include the latest trends, including the single, large floating driver-infotainment screen.
I have the 1.5L turbo 2022 Denali. It is very peppy and powerful, even in AWD mode, going uphill, on the highway, etc. Must be the very smooth 9 speed transmission making up for the smaller engine. I agree they should have kept at least the 2.0 L turbo option for the Denali.
It’s unfortunate that they are still wasting development time on such a horrible platform. Every terrain and equinox has been horrendously put together having many failing points. They made them essential throw away vehicles. But for some reason they keep redesigning and re selling this trash to people. Not to mention how all of their 18s-22s have large recalls that haven’t been resolved yeet. Do yourself a favor, if you want a chevy or gmc… get a truck they are actually reliable compared.
I have. 2019 Terrain SLT with 2.0 Turbo. With the trailer tow package the tow rating is 3500 lbs. and it tows my 2500 lb trailer competently. Remember that tow rating is 1500 lbs for the 2.0 litre that does not have tow package. Tow package consists of heavy duty engine cooling and transmission cooling, larger alternator and electronic transmission tow mode. Towing does decimate the fuel mileage however.
How about putting in a normal shifter like the Nox, adding the LSY 2.0T at least for the Denali, making a leather wheel available on the SLE and keeping the folding passenger seat. They should also consider making the back seat slide back and forth like it was in the previous generation. The current Terrain isn’t premium enough in the lower trims and the 1.5T needs to make more power
Joe totally agree with your statement maybe you should be one of the engineers that work for gm the 1.5 turbo in Denali trim is a joke said it from day 1 at least put the 2.0 l LSY in Denali trim give us options for heaven sake !!!
