What's New for the 2027 GMC Terrain?
The most significant update for the 2027 GMC Terrain is its powertrain. Specifically, the continuously variable transmission (CVT) previously found in front-wheel drive models has been dropped in favor of the refined eight-speed automatic transmission that is standard on all-wheel drive versions. Beyond this notable mechanical upgrade, the 2027 Terrain carries over largely unchanged from the previous model year.
What Are the 2027 Terrain's Trims and Features?
Buyers can choose from three distinct trim levels: Elevation, AT4, and Denali.
The Elevation trim comes standard with a comfortable heated steering wheel and heated front seats. It also boasts advanced cabin technology, including a 15-inch-diagonal Premium GMC Infotainment System and an 11-inch Driver Information Center, all propelled by a capable 1.5L Turbo 4-cylinder engine.
Stepping up to the rugged AT4 brings trail-ready enhancements, including 17-inch dark-machined aluminum wheels wrapped in all-terrain tires, along with a protective front skid plate with a steel underbody shield.
The top-tier Denali focuses on premium luxury, offering sophisticated animated headlamps and taillamps, hill descent control, and an advanced HD Surround Vision system paired with a convenient rear camera mirror.

How Much Horsepower Does the 2027 Terrain Have?
Every 2027 Terrain is motivated by a 1.5L 4-cylinder engine generating a reliable 175 horsepower. While front-wheel drive is standard on this compact SUV, buyers can choose the optional all-wheel drive system for enhanced traction. Regardless of the chosen drivetrain, an 8-speed automatic transmission handles the gear shifting across all models.
What Safety Features Does the 2027 Terrain Include?
Driver protection is a high priority for the 2027 GMC Terrain, which offers an array of standard and available driver-assistive technologies. Key highlights include blind-spot steering assist and a forward collision alert system, working alongside proactive features like front pedestrian braking and rear cross-traffic braking to maximize peace of mind on the road.
