Key Features of the 2027 GMC Terrain

15" diagonal Premium GMC Infotainment System

The centerpiece of the 2027 GMC Terrain cabin is the 15" diagonal Premium GMC Infotainment System, a large color touchscreen designed to help drivers access, manage, and customize favorite in-vehicle entertainment and information. Its vertical layout gives the dashboard a modern look while placing commonly used controls within clear view. For drivers who rely on navigation, music, vehicle settings, and smartphone-style convenience, this system helps simplify the experience. Available Google built-in adds further convenience by integrating familiar tools into the vehicle environment, which can be especially helpful for finding destinations, checking routes, and managing select connected functions. Paired with the 11" diagonal Driver Information Center, Terrain gives the driver a broad digital command area without making the cabin feel cluttered. The result is a small SUV that feels current, intuitive, and easy to personalize.

Available All-Wheel Drive and Selectable Drive Modes

Terrain capability starts with a power-packed 1.5L Turbo 4-cylinder engine and an 8-speed automatic transmission. This combination is designed to provide smooth, confident response for daily driving while supporting the practical needs of a small SUV owner. Available All-Wheel Drive adds traction confidence for changing road conditions, while selectable drive modes allow the vehicle to adapt to different situations. Depending on configuration, modes can include Normal, Snow, Off-Road, Tow/Haul, and AT4-exclusive Terrain Mode. That range matters because drivers in northern Wisconsin often encounter a mix of paved roads, gravel stretches, boat landings, cabin routes, and changing traction surfaces. The available Trailering Package and In-Vehicle Trailering App help drivers tow up to 1,500 lbs. when properly equipped, making Terrain a strong fit for smaller recreational gear such as a light fishing boat, single-axle trailer, two jet skis, or compact camper.

Flexible Two-Row Interior and Cargo Space

The 2027 GMC Terrain is a two-row small SUV with seating for up to five passengers, including the driver. Its cabin is designed to be comfortable, organized, and adaptable, with 60/40 split-folding rear seats that let owners balance passenger space and cargo needs. With the rear seats in use, Terrain provides 29.80 cu. ft. of cargo volume behind the second row. Fold the rear seating area down, and maximum cargo volume expands to 63.5 cu. ft. behind the first row. That flexibility makes a noticeable difference for grocery runs, sports gear, luggage, pet supplies, home improvement items, and outdoor equipment. GMC also includes thoughtful storage touches, including a rear cargo underfloor storage compartment and front center console passthrough storage. Available comfort upgrades, such as a panoramic sunroof with power sunshade and perforated leather-appointed heated and ventilated 8-way power front seats on select models, add a more premium feel.

Over 16 Standard Safety and Driver Assistance Features

GMC gives the Terrain a strong safety foundation with over 16 standard safety and driver assistance features. Key systems include Blind Zone Steering Assist, Forward Collision Alert, HD Rear Vision Camera, Front Pedestrian & Bicyclist Braking, IntelliBeam, and Rear Cross Traffic Braking. Blind Zone Steering Assist can alert the driver and provide a brief, firm turn of the steering wheel when a potential crash is detected with a moving vehicle in the lane being entered. Forward Collision Alert can warn of a potential collision with a detected vehicle ahead and can also provide a tailgating alert. HD Rear Vision Camera shows a high-resolution digital image of the area directly behind the SUV when in Reverse, with an available overlay showing where the vehicle is heading. Front Pedestrian & Bicyclist Braking can help avoid or reduce the severity of a detected front-end collision with a pedestrian or bicyclist within its operating range. These systems support confidence while keeping the driver responsible for safe operation.

Elevation, AT4, and Denali Trims

The Terrain lineup gives shoppers meaningful choices. Elevation brings strong standard equipment, including heated front seats and steering wheel, the 15" diagonal Premium GMC Infotainment System, the 11" diagonal Driver Information Center, and over 16 standard safety and driver assistance features. AT4 adds a more rugged identity with AT4-exclusive Terrain drive mode, lifted ride height, red front recovery hooks, a front skid plate with steel underbody shield, and 17" Dark Machined aluminum wheels with all-terrain tires. Denali focuses on premium comfort and design with heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear outboard seats, animated headlamps and taillamps, HD Surround Vision, Rear Camera Mirror, and 19" Midnight Silver machined-face aluminum wheels with all-season tires. Exterior design choices add further personality, including colors such as Onyx Black, Downpour Metallic, Sterling Metallic, Summit White, Titanium Rush Metallic, Volcanic Red Tintcoat, and White Frost Tricoat, plus an available two-tone roof in Sterling Metallic or Ebony Twilight Metallic.
