The New 2026 GMC Terrain

The 2026 Terrain continues to deliver reliable performance with its proven 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. It delivers 175 horsepower and responsive torque for smooth acceleration. If you choose the front-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive setup, the Terrain is engineered to make every drive enjoyable. Drivers can choose from multiple GMC Terrain configurations, including Elevation, AT4, and Denali, each with its own mix of power, style, and features:

Front-wheel-drive models feature a continuously variable transmission (CVT) for efficient cruising, while all-wheel-drive trims pair with an 8-speed automatic transmission for more responsive handling and improved control. The AWD-equipped AT4 and Denali trims also include Hill Descent Control to give added confidence on steep grades and rougher terrain.

Fuel efficiency remains competitive, making the Terrain ideal for both city driving and weekend getaways. The 2026 Terrain delivers a smooth, composed, and efficient ride, whether you’re navigating busy Springfield streets or heading out on I-70 for a road trip.

The 2026 Terrain is built for versatility. With its available all-wheel-drive system, you’ll enjoy confident handling during rain, snow, and other challenging conditions. GMC’s Traction Select System comes standard; it provides the flexibility to switch between multiple drive modes for optimal performance on varying surfaces.

For drivers who crave even more adventure, the new AT4 trim is engineered to handle rugged conditions with ease. It features an exclusive Terrain drive mode designed for low-speed crawling, plus a lifted suspension, steel skid plate, red recovery hooks, and off-road-tuned suspension with durable all-terrain tires. The AT4 trim offers the confidence to explore beyond the pavement without sacrificing comfort or control.

When properly equipped, the 2026 Terrain offers a towing capacity of up to 1,500 pounds on AWD models, making it easy to haul recreational gear, small trailers, or weekend toys.

Inside the 2026 GMC Terrain, comfort meets functionality in a thoughtfully designed cabin built for both driver and passengers. With seating for up to five occupants, the Terrain offers 40.6 inches of front legroom and 39.2 inches of rear legroom, creating an inviting space for long drives or daily commutes.

Cargo versatility is another highlight, with 29.8 cubic feet of space behind the second row and a maximum of 63.5 cubic feet when the 60/40 split-folding rear seats are folded flat. An underfloor storage compartment and center console pass-through further expand your storage options, making it easy to keep your essentials organized.

Materials and finishes vary by trim to suit different lifestyles. The Elevation model comes equipped with premium cloth upholstery and heated front seats for added comfort. The AT4 trim upgrades durability with CoreTec™ surfaces, designed to handle adventurous outings. Additionally, the luxurious Denali trim boasts perforated leather-appointed seating, ventilated front seats, and heated rear outboard seats.

Available enhancements, such as a panoramic sunroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a heated steering wheel, elevate your driving experience and add a layer of sophistication to every trip.

The 2026 Terrain boasts a bold and modern exterior design that reflects GMC’s signature craftsmanship. With its strong, sculpted lines and confident stance, the SUV delivers style and presence from every angle.

Signature C-shaped LED headlamps give the Terrain a distinct look, while Denali trims introduce animated headlamps and taillamps for an upscale, high-tech aesthetic. Each trim level offers unique styling cues, including:

• Elevation: Features a striking upright grille and 17-inch Grazen Metallic machined aluminum wheels.

• AT4: Offers 17-inch dark-machined aluminum wheels paired with all-terrain tires, exclusive badging, and rugged off-road design elements.

• Denali: Stands out with its signature grille accented in Galvano Silver, 19-inch Midnight Silver wheels, and available 20-inch After Midnight wheels for an even more commanding look.

For added personalization, the Terrain also offers an available two-tone roof in Sterling Metallic or Ebony Twilight Metallic, as well as the sporty Black Edition appearance package for those seeking a bolder, urban-inspired vibe.

The 2026 Terrain introduces cutting-edge technology designed to enhance connectivity, entertainment, and safety.

With Google Built-In compatibility, you can access Google Maps, make calls, send texts, and control select vehicle functions directly from the Terrain’s touchscreen. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ come standard, ensuring seamless smartphone integration on every drive.

Wireless smartphone charging, a 5G Wi-Fi hotspot capability, and AutoSense Power Liftgate bring additional convenience. There are also up to eight available camera views, including HD Surround Vision and a Rear Camera Mirror. As a result, it provides exceptional visibility and confidence when maneuvering in tight spaces.

Safety is a core focus, with over 16 standard driver-assistance features included across all trims. The main highlights include:

• Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking

• Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning

• Blind Zone Steering Assist

• Rear Cross-Traffic Braking

• Adaptive Cruise Control

With these intelligent systems working together, the Terrain helps you stay safe and aware wherever your adventures take you.

The Elevation trim offers the perfect blend of style, comfort, and everyday practicality. It features heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and premium interior finishes for a refined cabin experience.

A 15-inch infotainment system with Google Built-In and an 11-inch digital driver display come standard, keeping you connected on every drive. On the outside, its 17-inch Grazen Metallic machined aluminum wheels and distinctive upright grille give it a bold, modern look, with options like a two-tone roof and panoramic sunroof for added personalization.

Built for adventure, the AT4 trim adds ruggedness to the Terrain lineup. It features off-road-tuned suspension and durable all-terrain tires.

A steel skid plate and red recovery hooks provide extra confidence when venturing off the pavement. Inside, the AT4 combines durability with comfort, featuring CoreTec™ seating and the same advanced tech found in the Elevation trim.

At the top of the lineup, the Denali trim delivers a premium SUV experience with perforated leather-appointed seating, ventilated front seats, and heated rear outboard seats.

It stands out with a signature Denali grille, 19-inch Midnight Silver wheels, and available 20-inch After Midnight wheels. Denali also offers advanced tech, including HD Surround Vision, a Rear Camera Mirror, and exclusive upscale finishes, making it the most luxurious Terrain yet.
