Expectations
The 2025 GMC Terrain will be completely overhauled, bringing an all-new, third generation model to market. Here’s what we expect from the all-new, 2025 Terrain.
Model Line
- A better execution of the AT4 off-road-oriented trim, with better off-road performance and more rugged looks
- Potential addition of Elevation as a trim level
Exterior
- Complete overhaul of exterior
- Overall size and footprint to remain similar to current, second-gen Terrain
- More expressive design, with more of an upright shape than the current model
- More prominent execution of GMC’s C-shaped signature headlight
- C-Shaped tail lights
- Dual exhaust
- Knobby, off-road-oriented General Grabber AT tires on AT4 trim level
- More expressive wheel designs across all models, particularly Elevation and AT4
“I gotta tell you, it’s one of the most beautiful SUVs in that segment,” said GM President, Mark Reuss, during the 2022 GM Investor Day event. “Again, very GMC, very truck, very Professional Grade, so a big interior and exterior enhancement for the Terrain.”
Interior
- Complete overhaul of interior, with better ergonomics and more usable space
- Revamped gauge cluster (instrument panel), with higher-end trims receiving a fully digital instrument panel
- Revamped infotainment system with a larger screen and revamped software
- New and improved active safety (ADAS) features, such as Super Cruise semi-autonomous highway assistant
- New steering wheel
- New colors and materials
Mechanical
- The 2025 GMC Terrain will be based on the D2-2 architecture, an updated version of the GM D2 platform used by the second-gen Terrain
- The same platform will be used by the 2025 Chevy Equinox
- Powered by a new, small-displacement turbocharged engine mated to GM’s 9-speed automatic transmission
- Standard front-wheel-drive (FWD) and optional all-wheel-drive (AWD) on most models
- Activ/Z71 trim might feature AWD as standard
- Adoption of GM’s Global B electronic architecture, allowing over-the-air (OTA) updates to systems and components
Production & Availability
- We expect the 2025 GMC Terrain to be produced at the GM San Luis Potosi plant in Mexico
- Production is expected to begin in mid 2024, with the first units beginning to arrive in either late 2024 or early 2025
