The 2025 GMC Terrain rolls onto the scene with a bold new look and better capabilities than ever. This redesigned compact SUV brings updated styling, impressive tech, and stronger performance. GMC’s entry-level SUV is comfortable, upscale, and flexible. With its stronger engine options, larger infotainment screen, and improved safety tech, the 2025 Terrain is ready to shake up the compact SUV market. Let’s take a look at everything the new GMC Terrain has to offer.

Performance and Engine Power

Powering the 2025 GMC Terrain is a capable 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that puts out 175 horsepower. GMC pairs this engine with two different transmissions. Front-wheel-drive (FWD) models come with a continuously variable transmission that maximizes fuel efficiency, delivers smooth acceleration, and generates 185 lb-ft of torque. If you go for all-wheel drive (AWD), you’ll get an eight-speed automatic transmission and 203 lb-ft of torque.

Towing Capacity and Off-Road Capabilities

If you need to tow, the 2025 GMC Terrain has you covered. AWD models can pull up to 1,500 pounds, and FWD versions manage 800 pounds. That’s enough for small trailers or your recreational toys.

The AWD system doesn’t just help with towing. It also gives you better grip in rain, snow, or on unpaved roads. Hill-descent control also comes standard when you choose an AWD model, making it perfect for off-road adventures.

Advanced Technology and Connectivity

The 2025 GMC Terrain jumps ahead with its tech offerings. Front and center on the dash is a massive 15-inch touch screen. This display handles entertainment, maps, and vehicle settings with sharp graphics and easy controls. The driver also gets an 11-inch digital gauge cluster that’s customizable to show exactly what you want to see.

Google comes built right in, and it’s super handy. You get Google Assistant for voice commands, Google Maps for navigation, and Google Play for apps and music. Your phone also connects wirelessly with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, so no more hunting for cables every time you get in the car.

There’s more good stuff too. The Terrain’s Wi-Fi hot spot can keep everyone connected during road trips. The available wireless charging pads mean no dead phones and fewer cables. There’s also an optional 360-degree camera system that gives you a bird’s eye view around the vehicle while parking. Another great option is the rear camera mirror. It lets you see behind you even when the cargo area is packed to the roof.

Safety Features and Driver-Assistance Tech

The 2025 Terrain comes with over 15 standard safety and driver-assistance systems. The automatic emergency braking system comes with pedestrian and cyclist detection, and it even works at intersections since it has cross-traffic detection. The Terrain’s blind-spot monitoring system can alert you to a bicycle in your blind-spot and even help you avoid a crash with another vehicle while changing lanes. While you’re reversing, you have reverse automatic braking and alerts for cars and objects that are behind you. You also get adaptive cruise control to help keep a safe distance on highways.

Exterior Design and Customization Options

The 2025 GMC Terrain looks more muscular than before. Its redesigned grille and truck-inspired styling give it a tougher, more confident look. The stronger design is emphasized by its wide stance.

If you want to make your Terrain stand out, try the new two-tone roof option in black or gray. It adds a touch of style and lets you put your personal stamp on the SUV. Wheel choices range from 17-inch standard designs or optional 19-inch styles. The 2025 GMC Terrain’s color options give you even more ways of making it your own. You can pick from Ebony Twilight Metallic, Rapids Metallic, Riverstone Metallic, Sterling Metallic, Volcanic Red Tintcoat, or Summit White.

Interior Comfort and Cargo Space

Inside the 2025 Terrain, you’ll find a well-designed cabin that puts comfort and practicality first, with plenty of room for all five passengers. In the front, there’s 40 inches of headroom and 40.6 inches of legroom. Your rear riders will enjoy 39.2 inches of headroom and 39.2 inches of legroom. There’s also plenty of shoulder space too: 57.7 inches up front and 55.7 inches in back.

The Terrain shines when it comes to cargo space. With all seats up, you get 29.8 cubic feet of cargo space. That’s enough for groceries or sports gear. Fold down the 60/40-split folding seats, and cargo volume jumps to 63.5 cubic feet, rivaling some bigger SUVs. This flexibility makes the Terrain great for hauling bulky items or fitting everyone and their stuff for a road trip.

Is the 2025 GMC Terrain for You?

The 2025 GMC Terrain brings some serious upgrades to the compact SUV game. Its fresh exterior looks, improved powertrains, and tech features make a strong impression. Throw in all those safety systems, the flexible interior, and the adventure-ready AWD model, and you’ve got an SUV that fits many different lifestyles. The 2025 GMC Terrain prices make it a great value too. FWD models start at $31,395, and an AWD model can be yours beginning at $33,395.
