GMC revealed the next-generation 2025 Terrain with a new design, launching first in the Elevation trim. The new MY delivers more standard technology and equipment for the compact SUV.

All Terrains come standard with a 1.5L Turbocharged engine, offering 175 hp and 203 lb-ft of torque and up to 1,500 pounds max trailering. All-wheel-drive, an 8-speed automatic transmission, and 17-inch wheels are standard on the Elevation trim at launch.

“The 2025 GMC Terrain builds on GMC’s strengths and offers our latest premium technology and safety features while bringing a fresh, bold design to our two-row SUV,” Duncan Aldred, global vice president of Buick and GMC, said.

The Terrain’s Truck-Inspired Design

The 2025 Terrain has a new grille that now shares design cues with GMC’s truck lineup by connecting the new headlamps to the lower fog lights. It will also offer a GMC Terrain-first two-tone roof option in black or gray.

The new interior offers chrome decoration sweeping the IP insert, upper door, and console armrest. Available wireless chargers are located near the armrest.

“With the next-gen Terrain and updated 2025 Yukon both slated to launch later this year, the entire GMC SUV lineup will be refreshed by year-end, giving customers the latest design, the best technology, and the best driving experience we’ve ever offered in our SUVs,” Aldred said.

The 2025 GMC Terrain is expected to arrive in late 2024.
