The GMC Terrain is considered a leader in the compact SUV market thanks to its innovative features, impressive power for its class, and incredible dependability. That’s why the redesigned 2025 GMC Terrain has become an exciting fixture in the GMC lineup this year.

Impressive Performance

One standout feature of the Terrain is its performance. It comes with a 1.5-liter Turbo Dual Overhead Cam 4-cylinder with Variable Valve Timing that churns out 175 horsepower and 184 foot-pounds of torque in the FWD configuration. There’s also an AWD version of the Terrain that generates even more practical torque from the powerplant, producing 203 foot-pounds of torque and increasing trailering capacity to 1,500 pounds. The FWD version is paired with a Continuous Variable Transmission offering smooth performance while maintaining the perfect gear ratios throughout the driving experience. The AWD Terrain has a standard 8-speed automatic transmission, which makes it a true force when the Terrain leaves the pavement in search of off-road adventure. The Terrain’s driving modes further enhance those capabilities by tailoring performance to match the driving conditions.

Superior Safety Features

Though the Terrain is a lot of fun to drive, its exemplary safety features make it one of the safest cars available in its class, as well. It has a full array of airbags as a standard feature, including front airbags, frontal and seat-mounted side-impact driver and passenger airbags, front and rear head curtain airbags, and an outboard Passenger Sensing System for the front passenger airbag. The Terrain’s safety features don’t just protect you during a wreck. They are designed to help drivers avoid collisions altogether. Those advanced collision avoidance features include a Blind Zone Steering Assist, Enhanced Automatic Emergency braking, a Following Distance Indicator, a Forward Collision Alert, Front Pedestrian and Bicycle Braking, an HD Rear Vision Camera, Rear Emergency Braking, and Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking.

Loaded With Advanced Amenities

Modern automobiles are wonders of technological engineering, and the Terrain’s long list of amenities reinforces GMC’s focus on enhancing the driving experience. One impressive feature drivers love about the Terrain is its massive 15-inch GMC Premium Infotainment System with built-in Google integration. The Terrain also has an 11-inch color digital Driver

Information Center to provide drivers with up-to-the-minute data. Other infotainment and driver assistance features found in the GMC Terrain include a 6-speaker sound system, Adaptive Cruise Control, Remote Start, heated driver and passenger front seats, a heated steering wheel, Keyless Open and Start, Occupant Presence Detection, the Safety Seat Alert System, multiple USB ports, and Wi-Fi hotspot capabilities.
