Go-Anywhere Performance

Under the hood of the Terrain, you’ll find one of two powerful engines: a standard 170-horsepower 1.5L engine and an available 252-horsepower 2.0L turbo engine. You’ll also have enough power to tow up to 3,500 pounds when properly equipped.

The real stars of the performance show in the Terrain are the off-road options, however. You’ll get a Traction Select System that allows you to make real-time adjustments to your drive with selectable modes like Tow/Haul mode and Snow mode. You can also opt for available all-wheel drive (AWD).

With the GMC Denali trim, you’ll get the Denali Premium Suspension with Enhanced Shock Control. This feature uses cutting-edge technologies to not only smooth out your ride, but also to work hard to reduce road (or, should we say, terrain) noise while you explore.

Spacious & Versatile Interior

Whether you’re making new tracks in the snow or following your same comfortable route to work, the cabin of the GMC Terrain will act as your sanctuary. This model features five spacious seats with an array of comfortable upholstery options to choose from, including genuine leather.

Additionally, you’ll have more than enough space for your cargo items. Behind the second row, you’ll have nearly 30 cubic feet of cargo volume. Utilizing the 60/40 split-folding rear seats will bring that total up to 63.3 cubic feet of cargo space. Plus, you’ll be able to pack that space in a fraction of the time, thanks to the available Hands-Free liftgate.

To top it all off, the cabin of the Terrain can be equipped with an available SkyScape® sunroof that provides all five passengers with a great view of the beauty around you.

Forward-Thinking Technology

Top to bottom, inside and out, the 2021 GMC Terrain is equipped with an array of the latest technology features. For starters, you’ll get the standard GMC Pro Safety suite with:

• Automatic Emergency Braking and Front Pedestrian Braking
• IntelliBeam® auto high-beam headlamps
• Following Distance Indicator
• Forward Collision Alert
• Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning

Beef it up with the available GMC Pro Safety Plus add-on features, like Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert, Rear Park Assist, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert.

In terms of staying connected while you’re the go, you’ll get an intuitive, multi-faceted infotainment system. Use smartphone integration, Amazon Alexa Built-In, and more via voice command to communicate, add items to your Whole Foods Market Cart, and get directions to your destination.

The large touchscreen of this system can also be used to take advantage of the available HD Rear Vision Camera to get a clear view of your surroundings.
