In addition, GMC has caught up to most of the compact SUV class by including a significant suite of advanced safety and driver assistance systems as standard equipment, including highway-speed automatic emergency braking, blind spot warning, and rear cross traffic warning, all of which were either optional or not available on the outgoing Terrain.
Three versions of the Terrain will eventually be offered, but only one, the well-equipped entry-level Elevation trim, will go on sale later this year. In 2025 the AT4 and Denali trims will arrive as 2026 models.
The off-road-ready AT4 will come with an adjustable terrain mode, a raised ride height, metal underbody shields, front recovery hooks (used to tow the vehicle if it’s stuck off-road), 17-inch all-terrain tires, and a hill descent control system.
GMC positions the Denali trim as the luxury version of its vehicles, and as such it will get standard rear outboard heated seats, unique suspension tuning for a more comfortable ride, 19-inch wheels and tires (20-inch ones are optional), and hill descent control.
