Key Features of the 2027 GMC Terrain

15" diagonal Premium GMC Infotainment System

The 15" diagonal Premium GMC Infotainment System is one of the most important highlights of the 2027 GMC Terrain because it gives the cabin a modern, connected feel from the moment you sit down. The large color touchscreen display is designed to help you access, manage, and customize favorite in-vehicle entertainment and information. Its size matters because maps, audio controls, vehicle settings, phone functions, and available connected features are easier to view and operate. Paired with the 11" diagonal Driver Information Center, the Terrain provides a digital layout that feels organized rather than overwhelming. GMC also references Google built-in, helping create a familiar interface for drivers who rely on intuitive navigation, voice assistance, and app-based convenience. The display’s vertical orientation supports quick glances, which can be helpful while moving through town, managing a school drop-off route, or heading out on a longer drive. This technology gives the Terrain a premium edge in the small SUV class.

60/40 split-folding rear seats

Practical cargo flexibility is a major strength of the Terrain, and the 60/40 split-folding rear seats help make the cabin more adaptable. With all seats in place, the Terrain provides 29.80 cu. ft. of cargo volume behind the second row, giving you useful space for groceries, bags, work items, sports equipment, and everyday essentials. When larger cargo needs come up, folding the rear seats expands capacity to a max cargo volume of 63.50 cu. ft. The split-folding layout is valuable because you can carry longer items while still leaving room for a rear passenger. GMC also notes a rear cargo underfloor storage compartment and front center console passthrough storage, both of which support better organization. This is the kind of versatility that becomes more useful over time. Instead of forcing every trip into one configuration, the Terrain lets you adjust the interior around your day, whether cargo, passengers, or both take priority.

Available All-Wheel Drive and selectable drive modes

The 2027 GMC Terrain is built to feel confident in a variety of driving conditions, especially when equipped with available All-Wheel Drive. This system can help provide added traction when roads, surfaces, or routes require extra composure. GMC pairs that capability with selectable drive modes, including Normal, Snow, Off-Road, Tow/Haul, and AT4-exclusive Terrain Modes, depending on configuration. These settings allow the Terrain to better match the way the SUV responds to the road or task at hand. Around western Wisconsin, a compact SUV should feel comfortable on main streets, county roads, gravel access routes, and longer highway drives, and the Terrain is designed with that type of variety in mind. The AT4 trim adds even more rugged character with a lifted ride height, 17" Dark Machined aluminum wheels with all-terrain tires, red front recovery hooks, LED fog lamps, and a front skid plate with a steel underbody shield. For shoppers who want a small SUV with more confidence beyond the basics, the Terrain AT4 is especially compelling.

Over 16 standard safety and driver assistance features

Safety technology is central to the Terrain’s appeal. GMC notes that the 2027 Terrain includes over 16 standard safety and driver assistance features, giving drivers a broad foundation of awareness and support. Key systems include Blind Zone Steering Assist, which can alert you and provide a brief, firm turn of the steering wheel when a potential crash is detected with a moving vehicle in the lane you are entering. Forward Collision Alert can warn you if it detects a potential collision with a detected vehicle you are following, and it can provide a tailgating alert. HD Rear Vision Camera shows a high-resolution digital image of the area behind the vehicle when in Reverse and can display an overlay of where the vehicle is heading. Front Pedestrian & Bicyclist Braking can help avoid or reduce the severity of a collision with a pedestrian or bicyclist it detects directly ahead at speeds between 5 and 50 mph. IntelliBeam can automatically turn high beams on and off at speeds above 25 mph according to surrounding traffic conditions, while Rear Cross Traffic Braking can alert you and automatically provide hard emergency braking to help prevent a collision with detected vehicles crossing behind you. These systems are not a substitute for attentive driving, but added support can be meaningful on every trip.

Distinctive Elevation, AT4, and Denali design

The Terrain’s trim lineup gives shoppers three distinct personalities. Elevation has a confident look with an upright grille, LED headlamps and taillamps, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, the 15" diagonal Premium GMC Infotainment System, and the 11" diagonal Driver Information Center. AT4 adds a more adventurous presence with its exclusive front skid plate with steel underbody shield, LED fog lamps, red recovery hooks, lifted ride height, all-terrain tires, and AT4-exclusive Terrain drive mode. Denali moves in a premium direction with a signature Galvano chrome grille, chrome accents on the side and rear, 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. The available two-tone roof in Sterling Metallic or Ebony Twilight Metallic adds another layer of personalization. Available exterior colors include Onyx Black, Downpour Metallic, Sterling Metallic, Summit White, Titanium Rush Metallic, Volcanic Red Tintcoat, and White Frost Tricoat.
