Between commuting to work, shuttling the kids to school and activities, and running errands, you rely on your SUV to take you reliably from Point A to Point B without hesitation. The GMC Terrain is up to the task, providing substantial power without sacrificing efficiency.
The GMC Terrain features a 1.5-liter Turbo engine that delivers 175 horsepower. This engine balances spirited acceleration and impressive fuel economy, making it ideal for all types of driving, from weekday commutes to weekend getaways. Whether merging onto the highway or navigating hilly backroads, the Terrain's performance ensures you'll feel confident behind the wheel.
With its standard CVT (continuously variable transmission) , the Terrain provides smooth and responsive shifts, enhancing your driving experience. Drivers who value control will appreciate the available all-wheel drive (AWD) , which improves traction on slippery and slick roads and steep hills, and—for adventurous types who love to explore the great outdoors—light off-road trails.
With an EPA-estimated 26 city/28 highway MPG rating, the Terrain prioritizes efficiency without compromising capability. Plus, its 14.8-gallon fuel tank means you’ll make fewer stops at the pump and spend more time enjoying life on the road, wherever it may lead.
Its standard Drive Mode Selector enables you to choose how your Terrain responds to different driving scenarios:
In conjunction with good driving habits, these drive modes can assist with power delivery, stability, and overall ride quality, including fuel economy.
The GMC Terrain’s design is the perfect union of rugged and refined. It makes an impressive statement that enables it to distinguish itself from other SUVs while catering to your specific needs with luxury-level amenities.
The GMC Terrain’s bold exterior design stands out in a crowded compact SUV market. Its signature LED headlamps and taillamps and distinctive upright grille exude a sense of confidence and sophistication, while aerodynamic lines enhance both style and efficiency. Standard 17-inch machined aluminum wheels, with optional 19-inch upgrades, provide a commanding stance that’s equally at home in the city or on rural backroads.
For drivers seeking the ultimate personalization, the Terrain offers a brand-new two-tone roof in Sterling Metallic or Ebony Twilight Metallic. Further express yourself with one of the available packages or the special Black Edition, including 19-inch gloss black wheels, black roof rails, darkened front grille, black exterior accents, and badging.
The Terrain’s cabin was designed both for comfort and functionality. Its standard Driver Convenience Package includes heated front seats, heated steering wheel, and Remote Start, among other features. An available panoramic sunroof allows sky-high views while flooding the cabin with natural sunlight.
Although considered a small SUV, the Terrain’s interior provides plenty of room for everyone on board to stretch out, no matter where they’re seated.

The 60/40 split-folding rear seats allow you to configure the cabin based on your passengers-to-cargo ratio. Behind the rear row, you’ll have 29.8 cubic feet to stow groceries, backpacks, sports gear, and more. That area expands to 63.5 cubic feet with the rear seats folded flat for transporting additional or larger items.
With cutting-edge technologies built in, you can stay connected when behind the wheel. In the GMC Terrain, smart systems also ensure you’ll remain well protected, helping keep you and your passengers secure while on the road.
At the heart of the GMC Terrain’s tech suite is the standard 15-inch Premium GMC Infotainment System, available with Google built-in. Standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ make it easier than ever to access navigation, stream music, or take hands-free calls without distraction.
The Terrain also features a standard Wi-Fi® hotspot, ideal for staying connected to home or the office during long commutes or to keep the kids entertained on an extended family road trip. Available wireless charging keeps everyone’s devices powered no matter where you roam without cords cluttering the cabin.
Safety is a priority for all drivers as well as for GMC, which equips the Terrain with a suite of more than 15 standard driver-assistance technologies, including:
These safety systems work together to help prevent or mitigate accidents, making the GMC Terrain a standout choice for families and solo drivers alike.
For drivers seeking even greater security, the Terrain offers optional enhancements, including HD Surround Vision with up to eight camera views. For the latest model year, the Terrain features its first-ever available Rear Camera Mirror and available Rear Camera Washer, ensuring the view behind your SUV is always crystal-clear. These advanced features increase your confidence, whether navigating tight parking spots or cruising on the highway.
As two models under the General Motors umbrella, the GMC Terrain and the Chevy Equinox have many similarities, including their equipped engines, nearly identical sizes, and various amenities. That said, the Terrain’s larger touchscreen, sport-style steering wheel, and expansive safety suite may appeal to drivers who like to get more without upgrading.

In a compact SUV, you and your passengers want to remain comfortable for all the miles ahead. Impacting comfort is the space allotted to riders in each row. Another aspect is having simple access to view your infotainment and driving information. In both cases, the GMC Terrain outshines the Toyota RAV4. Add to that the Terrain’s seamless-shifting CVT and your driving experience will be smooth and easy. Now, that’s comfort!

This matchup of the GMC Terrain and the Nissan Rogue continues the trend of the prior two comparisons. The Terrain once again proves its mettle for today’s drivers by providing state-of-the-art comforts and conveniences as standard while they're only available options on the Rogue. Sometimes, it's better to stick with the tried-and-true than go rogue.
