The 2025 GMC Terrain heralds a new generation of GM’s upscale compact SUV, with new sheet metal and even more technology than its predecessor. With its striking exterior styling and unashamedly comfortable interior, the all-new GMC Terrain is a compact model that makes a big impression. The latest GMC Terrain is a standout option if you’re shopping for upscale without breaking the bank.
This is one of those times when you’ll not be left scratching your head trying to decide which trim level of the GMC Terrain suits you best. That’s because the GMC Terrain lineup has been streamlined this year, to say the very least. For the 2025 model year, the GMC Terrain is offered in a single, generously equipped Elevation trim level. However, you can choose between AWD and front-wheel-drive versions of the GMC Terrain Elevation.
The somewhat original approach of the 2025 GMC Terrain continues to the powertrain. Although the AWD and FWD versions of the GMC Terrain Elevation both employ a 1.5-liter turbo-four gas engine, there’s a difference in output between the two drivetrain options. While the front-drive version of the new GMC Terrain develops 175 horsepower and 184 lb.-ft. of torque, the AWD version produces 175 horsepower and 203 lb.-ft. of torque. This results in a maximum towing capacity of 800 pounds for the GMC Terrain FWD and a 1,500-pound rating for the GMC Terrain AWD model. However, in both cases, the power gets sent to the wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission. When it comes to fuel economy, the FWD version of the 2025 GMC Terrain gets 26 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway, while FWD models return 24 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway.
There has been a trend in recent years for vehicles to be offered in standard specifications, which meant you had to choose the trim level that suited you best. The GMC Terrain brings back options, allowing shoppers to get a GMC Terrain Elevation that has all the features they want without paying for a higher trim with things they might not need. Standard equipment includes 8-way power front seats, adaptive cruise control, an 11.0-inch driver information center, an HD rear vision camera, heated front seats, climate control, rear park assist, and a 15.0-inch infotainment touchscreen. The infotainment system includes wireless Apple CarPlay& Android Auto, Google Automotive Services, and a six-speaker audio system.
But if you want to upgrade further, the options are impressive. Available options include HD Surround Vision, a rear camera mirror, ventilated front seats, wireless device charging, a power sunroof, and an Autosense power liftgate. Several upgrade packages conveniently bundle related features, including Convenience II, Convenience III, Elevation Premium, Technology II, and the Black Edition.
The 2025 GMC Terrain is a single-trim compact SUV that delivers style, quality, and desirability while offering more flexibility than rivals with many trim levels.
