“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, when referring to the 2025 Terrain. “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 an 11-inch diagonal fully digital instrument panel standard
Revamped infotainment system with a 15-inch portrait-oriented screen and new software
New and improved active safety (ADAS) features, many of which will be equipped as standard

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 underpins the 2025 Chevy Equinox
Powered by the same turbocharged 1.5L I-4 LSD engine as the outgoing model, but with new transmissions
- FWD models to get new CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission)
- AWD models to get new 8-speed automatic transmission
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 exclusively 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
