Key Features of the 2027 GMC Terrain

15" diagonal Premium GMC Infotainment System

The 15" diagonal Premium GMC Infotainment System is one of the defining elements of the 2027 GMC Terrain cabin. Its large color touchscreen display is designed to help drivers access, manage, and customize favorite in-vehicle entertainment, apps, and vehicle functions with a layout that feels clear and modern. The generous screen size helps reduce visual clutter because important controls and information can be organized in a more readable format. Paired with the 11" diagonal Driver Information Center on Elevation, the Terrain gives drivers a strong digital foundation that supports everyday convenience. Available Google built-in adds another layer of familiar functionality, helping occupants interact with connected features in a way that feels natural for modern life. Whether checking route guidance, adjusting audio, or reviewing vehicle settings, the system is designed to keep key information close at hand. For online shoppers comparing interiors, this is a major reason the Terrain feels fresh and intelligently planned.

1.5L Turbo 4-cylinder Engine

The 2027 GMC Terrain features a power-packed 1.5L Turbo 4-cylinder engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, giving this small SUV the responsive, controlled character drivers expect from a modern GMC. The engine is built to balance confident acceleration with everyday drivability, whether the trip includes local errands, school drop-offs, work commutes, or longer stretches of highway. Available All-Wheel Drive provides added traction in certain road and weather conditions, while selectable drive modes help tailor vehicle behavior to the moment. Terrain offers Normal, Snow, Off-Road, Tow/Haul, and AT4-exclusive Terrain Modes when equipped with the appropriate systems. The available Trailering Package and In-Vehicle Trailering App support towing confidence, with the Terrain able to tow up to 1,500 lbs. when properly equipped. That capability can suit smaller recreational items such as a light fishing boat, single-axle trailer, two jet skis, or a compact camper, giving shoppers more flexibility from a two-row SUV.

Over 16 Standard Safety and Driver Assistance Features

GMC gives the Terrain an impressive safety-minded foundation with over 16 standard safety and driver assistance features. Blind Zone Steering Assist can alert the driver and provide a brief, firm turn of the steering wheel when a potential crash is detected with a moving vehicle in the lane being entered. Forward Collision Alert can warn the driver if it detects a potential collision with a detected vehicle ahead and can also provide a tailgating alert. Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking operates at speeds between 5 and 50 mph and can help avoid or reduce the severity of a collision with a pedestrian or bicyclist detected directly ahead, while also providing alerts and automatic hard emergency braking in certain situations. Rear Cross Traffic Braking can alert the driver and automatically provide hard emergency braking when backing up if detected vehicles are crossing behind. IntelliBeam can automatically turn high beams on and off above 25 mph according to surrounding traffic conditions. These systems do not replace attentive driving, but they add meaningful support.

60/40 Folding Rear Seats

The 60/40 folding rear seats help make the Terrain especially useful for shoppers who need a compact SUV that can shift quickly between passengers and cargo. With seating for up to five, the Terrain is comfortable for everyday family use, yet the rear seat configuration allows part of the second row to fold while leaving room for a rear passenger. That is helpful when carrying longer items, sports bags, luggage, pet supplies, home project materials, or weekend gear. GMC lists max cargo volume at 63.5 cu. ft. behind the first row and cargo volume at 29.8 cu. ft. behind the second row, giving drivers practical space without moving into a larger SUV. The rear cargo underfloor storage compartment is another smart touch because it helps keep smaller items out of sight and better organized. Front center console passthrough storage adds even more utility up front. Altogether, the Terrain interior feels designed for real routines rather than showroom-only appeal.

Available Two-Tone Roof

The available two-tone roof gives the 2027 GMC Terrain a distinctive exterior personality that helps it stand apart in a busy small SUV segment. Available in Sterling Metallic or Ebony Twilight Metallic, this design option pairs well with Terrain exterior colors such as Onyx Black, Downpour Metallic, Sterling Metallic, Summit White, Titanium Rush Metallic, Volcanic Red Tintcoat, and White Frost Tricoat. The Terrain already has a strong GMC presence, including an upright grille and LED headlamps and taillamps on Elevation. AT4 adds a more rugged appearance with an AT4-exclusive front skid plate with steel underbody shield, LED fog lamps, and red recovery hooks. Denali emphasizes premium style through a signature Galvano chrome grille and chrome accents on the side and rear. The available Autosense Power Liftgate adds convenience by allowing hands-free liftgate access when the key fob is in a pocket or bag. Together, the design and convenience details make the Terrain look sharp and function smoothly.
