Differences between the 2025 and 2024 GMC Terrain

The Terrain is GMC’s entry-level SUV, a compact crossover that has received a number of upgrades for the 2025 model year. The previous version had a gear shifter that was a somewhat confusing mixture of buttons and switches. GMC wisely moved to a gear-shifting mechanism that’s mounted on the steering wheel. There are also new transmissions and other options to choose from. Here’s a summary of how the 2025 GMC Terrain differs from the 2024 model and why it’s worth a test drive at Keller Motors in Hanford, CA.

What’s new for 2025 in the GMC Terrain?

For the 2025 model year, the GMC Terrain comes with an updated exterior that includes new grilles and bumpers. The Elevation trim takes the place of the SLE and SLT models, thus simplifying things for Fresno, CA buyers. In addition, you now have your choice of a continuously variable transmission or an eight-speed automatic. The interior has been redesigned with larger screens and, as mentioned above, the gear shifter has been relocated from the center console to the steering wheel column.

New standard features that Lemoore, CA drivers will appreciate include adaptive cruise cruise control, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel and a remote vehicle starting system. Safety features have been updated with a new blind-spot steering assist and the 2025 GMC Terrain now offers an available rear camera mirror. What’s more, the GMC Terrain offers Tulare, CA buyers an optional power liftgate that will open in the presence of a key fob instead of the previous kick-based system.

Performance

The 2025 GMC Terrain continues with a 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that generates 175 horsepower and, with front-wheel drive, torque comes in at 184 pound-feet. Fuel economy continues to be solid, with an estimated 24 MPG in the city and 29 MPG on Visalia, CA highways with front-wheel drive.
