The GM Authority Take
GMC Terrain sales posted their first downturn this year, likely due to the generational changeover. We fully expect Terrain sales to pick back up as production of the upcoming all-new Terrain begins in earnest.
All-new, next-generation 2025 GMC Terrain Denali, AT4, and Elevation
About GMC Terrain
The 2024 GMC Terrain arrives with minimal changes, specifically losing two paint colors, while the GMC Pro Safety Plus package is now standard on the AT4 trim level and remains standard on the Denali trim and optional on the SLE and SLT trims.
Recently, GM debuted the all-new, next-generation 2025 GMC Terrain, highlighting a new design, overhauled interior, the latest tech features, and additional safety items.
The redesigned exterior of the 2025Â GMC Terrain gives the crossover a more rugged, truck-like appearance, aligning it closely with the rest of the GMC lineup. Inside, the new cabin centers around a 15-inch diagonal Premium GMC Infotainment System as standard, complemented by an 11-inch-diagonal driver information center, together providing access to advanced technology, including Google Assistant, Google Maps, and a suite of over 15 safety and driver assistance features.
The powertrain remains unchanged from the previous model year, carrying over the turbocharged 1.5L I4 LSD gasoline engine as standard, producing 175 horsepower and 203 pound-feet of torque.
The next-gen 2025 GMC Terrain will arrive within the next few months, with the Elevation trim serving as the base model. The more rugged AT4 and luxurious Denali trims will follow in 2025, arriving for the 2026 model-year lineup.

Comments
And…going a LOT lower in Q4 since many (most?) dealers haven’t yet received the ’25. Which is only AWD (until Feb) and will be $5K higher in price than the ’24 and will lag on lots.
The 25’s look great but the anemic powertrain choice is a disaster. Less power and less mpg than the class leading hybrids.
Bonus for me, since the incentives were pretty good on my new Terrain I got at the end of October! The fewer touch screens the better, and still with Android Auto. Agreed, the 1.5 L turbo 4 is not enough for a vehicle of that size. That should be the Encore engine (which I traded in). Should have at least 200 HP, which incidentally is the approximate figure on my wife’s new Nissan Rogue (1.5 L turbo 3). No wonder the Rogue outsells the Terrain (and Equinox) handily – having lived with both of them side by side, the Rogue is far superior. Comfort, handling, power, driver interface, fit and finish – and it gets a bit better gas mileage. Yes, the Terrain may be a bit more “rugged”, but I have to believe that is mostly image.
