GM has confirmed the 2025 GMC Terrain will debut in the middle of 2024 in its Q3 2023 earnings presentation, at approximately the same time as several other crossover and SUV nameplates.
The third generation of the Big Red crossover will begin with the launch of the 2025 GMC Terrain, bringing a complete overhaul incorporating fresh design and engineering to the vehicle.
GM President Mark Reuss said the 2025 GMC Terrain will get “sort of the GMC Professional Grade upgrade” back in late 2022 when The General first made it public that development of the next-generation Terrain was under way. He summarized the expected general features of the new model year as “very GMC, very truck, very Professional Grade, so a big interior and exterior enhancement.”
The third-gen Terrain is expected to retain the compact five-door crossover body style, but to incorporate a more upright, truck-like stance. August spy shots of the vehicle in testing show a new front fascia with C-shaped headlamps. Similar lights are expected in the taillight clusters, and more rugged styling is anticipated throughout.
The GMC Terrain AT4 trim level is also likely to be reworked with additional off-road focused features and styling.
The interior will receive a full overhaul as well. This will include a new steering wheel, colors and materials for the cabin space, which will be more ergonomic and offer improved space. Electronic upgrades will consist of newer safety tech, a new infotainment system with a larger screen, and a new gauge cluster, which will be replaced by a fully digital cluster on higher trim levels. The GM Super Cruise system may debut on the 2025 model, though this is still uncertain.
The 2025 GMC Terrain is expected to be motivated by a new small-displacement turbocharged engine. Both front-wheel and all-wheel drivetrains will be available, with the GM nine-speed automatic transmission handling cog swaps.
Speaking during the Q3 earnings conference call, GM CEO Mary Barra noted that five crossovers – including the 2025 GMC Terrain – will launch in 2024. The other models are the next-generation Chevy Equinox, Chevy Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Buick Enclave.
She expects them to drive profits and increase margins thanks to the popularity of their market segment. Meanwhile, GM will produce the vehicles more efficiently as a result of having “simplified the powertrain lineups” for the range of models.
The crossover will be supported by the D2-2 architecture, which is essentially an updated variant of the GM D2 platform underpinning the second-gen Terrain. Production will probably kick off in mid-2024 at the GM San Luis Potosí plant in Mexico.

If the Equinox begins production in October 2024, I’d expect this too as well. GM needs to keep the existing Nox in production as long as possible as it can offer big discounts and help make up for some of the lack of supply (by then, for sure) of the Trax, at similar prices (after discounts).
The 1.5 T is fairly capable. Drove one loaded through the Smoky Mountains, it had no issues at 75-80 mph and still got 29 mpg.
“Simplified powertrains”
Code for cost cutting, lack of engine options. The diesel terrain was an excellent vehicle. And it’s always bugged me that the nox/terrain never got a hybrid option. That model alone could’ve improved GMs Cafe number……
I have a Terrain and I love it! …. But I will love to see a plug in or hybrid model.
I’ve kept my 2017 Terrain Denali because of its V-6 engine. Looks like I’ll be keeping it a little longer. Lack of engine choices on GMC vehicles, going forward, is a big disappointment.
I’m right there with you. Still have my 2015 Terrain 6cyl with only 52k miles.
“new small-displacement turbocharged engine” …
3 banger
This is getting embarassing.
Will there be a “Bandit Edition”? With lots of decals?
And a book of “stickers”, so I can “customize it” … like my skate board ?
i’m hoping its just a detuned version of the 2.5 L thats in the new traverse. somewhere along the 250 hp mark. knowing gm it will probably be more along the 220 – 230 hp mark. if it is actually the 3 cyl then those things will be in the junk yard by 150k miles
We have had two Gen 2 Terrains with the 1.5 turbo and love them! The power is excellent and right where you need it .excellent gas mileage as well. The only issue i HATE is the push button shifter,which I hear is going away, THANK YOU GM.
We have 2 equinox, 1 a 2.0l turbo and a 9 spd AWD, the other is a 1.5l AWD.
Both have been excellent. The 1.5 has 240,000 kms and the engine is as quiet and powerful as when new.
The 2019 has been a very trouble free car, . We have had 6 Equinox since they were launched in 2005. A 2005 3.4 V6 AWD, A 2009 3.4 V6 AWD , A 2011 3.0l V6 AWD, A 2013 2.4l AWD . Today we still have the 2019 1.5 and the 2020 2.0l
The first 4 vehicles were all driven in excess of 200km, but our 2019 currently has more kms than any previous Equinox and along with the 2020 has been the most trouble free especially at the higher kms
The latest generation is the most reliable , its has enough power and the 1.5 is great on gas.
I just want a 2025 Terrain in the beautiful blue like my 2015 I have now. When will you make that silver blue again??????
l have a 2023 terrian denai awd that’s been in the garage for 5 weeks waiting on a part. GM can’t find a part to fix it. Still making payments on it. Only 2500 miles on it. Maybe soon I can tell you something good about it.
Have you heard? UAW is on strike. Parts distribution centers.
I have 2013 Denali AWD with 84,000 miles. I love this car, especially with the V6…I too hate the pushbutton shifter, and would love to see them bring back an actual gear shift. I’m anxious to see the updates in the 2025.
Put the 2.5L I4 turbo in it and they would sell like hot cakes.
I wish they would make a clearer display for the backup camera
It won’t be enough to make me trade my 2018 Terrain diesel. I get 47+ mpg, and it is so smooth and quiet. Damn shame they discontinued the small diesels
I have a 2013 GMC Terrain(purchased new), with about one hundred eleven thousand miles. It has began loosing oil. Oil changed 3 was ago, and reading 100%, today reading 81% and I’ve added more oil. I love my Terrain, just not sure what to do, and can’t afford to keep buying this expensive oil.
Will see what the 2024 or 2025 are doing.
Hopefully they’ll do something about the bucket seats in the terrain.8 just bought a 2023 and the seats are incredibly uncomfortable. To the point that my scuatjca flares up after 15 minutes. I thought this was an upgrade from the Equinoxes I’ve loved for the past 9 years, but this is an absolute misery to drive.
Am trying a variety of back & seat pillows trying to find one that works with the seat configuration. Fingers crossed.
Does the 2025 Terrain AT4 have 2 liter Turbo & Dual exhaust?
I am driving my 6 th Terrain & obviously i really like the vehicle.
I am ready to order a 2025 Terrain and would like to know a bit more of the updates.
A Happy GMC Customer,
