The five-passenger 2025 GMC Terrain is a fresh take on a compact SUV. This model has a rugged design that's suitable for off-road driving, as well as an efficient engine ideal for your urban commute. See why this dynamic SUV is perfect for your next vehicle upgrade. more 1. Drive Mode Selector The standard Drive Mode Selector allows you to choose the best powertrain and transmission output for your specific driving environment. The front-wheel driveline models have a Snow and Normal driving mode, while the all-wheel drive models add an Off-Road and AWD driving mode. The Normal driving mode is best for urban and suburban driving in dry weather conditions. The Snow mode is best for winter or wet weather driving since it improves traction for more stability. If you take the SUV off the paved path, the Off-Road mode enhances overall output for better handling and stability on tough terrains. The AWD mode may be ideal in inclement weather, driving uphill, or any time you feel like all four wheels need equal power. 2. Intersection Emergency Braking The Terrain comes with a sophisticated automatic braking system that can detect potential frontal cross-traffic accidents, particularly when you are crossing an intersection in busy urban environments. When this system identifies a cross-traffic collision, it can engage the emergency brakes to prevent and mitigate a severe accident. If you are already hitting the brakes, this system can boost braking power to bring your vehicle to a halt. 3. Heated Side Mirrors The power-adjustable side mirrors have heated glass linked to the rear window defogger system, which means the outside glass automatically heats when you defog the back window. Heated mirror glass is a huge benefit in harsh winter conditions so you can easily melt away ice and snow. You can even use this system to combat frost while you drive. The power-adjustable mirror positions can be adjusted at the touch of a button in the cabin, allowing drivers to find the best angle to see the road behind them, curbs, and other obstacles. Additionally, these mirrors can manually fold to reduce damage to the mirror caps when you park on the street or near a wall. 4. Active Noise Cancellation The Terrain has a comfortable and quiet cabin environment thanks to active noise cancellation technology. This system works by using in-cabin microphones to identify road and wind noise seeping into the cabin. Using the SUV's speaker system, this technology continually cancels out excess noise so passengers can enjoy a quiet ride or hear audio playback more easily. The GMC Terrain is a capable compact SUV with an adaptive drivetrain that gives you the confidence to drive on every road in any weather condition.

When you need a repair, you always have the choice between your dealer and a local repair shop. As your GMC dealership, we want to tell you some of the most important service benefits you receive by choosing us for your repair. more Expert Knowledge Our technicians are experts at GMC servicing and repairs. Once they complete their training as mechanics, they get advanced training at a GMC factory to learn everything there is to know about all the systems and components in every GMC model. Once their training is complete, they focus on maintaining GMC vehicles. This training and experience allow them to work faster and more efficiently than any other mechanics. If you go to a local mechanic, they can't provide the same care and attention. Regular mechanics don't have the same specialized training in GMC models, and their practical experience is also more limited as they work on many different vehicle makes and models. This lack of experience, unfortunately, can result in a less-than-perfect repair. Specialized Equipment Your GMC contains many highly sophisticated systems, like the computer and its large network of sensors. These systems require specialized equipment to service, repair, reprogram, or recalibrate them. As your dealer, we have the latest cutting-edge equipment and software from GMC, which is designed for these systems and ensures we can provide the highest standard of repair. A local mechanic doesn't have the same equipment and technology. Their systems and tools are generic, as they don't focus exclusively on GMC vehicles. Lack of the right equipment can compromise a repair and potentially cause additional problems in the future. Warranty Warranties are essential as they give you peace of mind that if something does go wrong, the issue will be fixed. All the parts we use are GMC-approved and carry warranties that they work efficiently for at least a set time period. We also provide a warranty on our labor due to our technician's high standards and the tools and equipment we use. In the very unlikely event of any issue, it can be corrected by any GMC dealer in the US at no charge. Local mechanics use aftermarket parts in their repairs, as these parts are cheaper and easier for them to get. Aftermarket parts don't carry warranties, as they're not specifically designed or tested on your GMC. If a part fails, you have to pay for its replacement. They may give you a labor warranty, but if something goes wrong, you must return to the same mechanic to fix it. These are some of the many reasons to choose your dealership for the perfect repair. Contact our service department at Marquardt of Barrington in Barrington, IL.
