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. Its large color touchscreen display is designed to help you access, manage, and customize your favorite in-vehicle entertainment and connectivity features with less distraction. The screen’s vertical layout gives the cabin a modern command-center feel, while its size makes maps, menus, media, and vehicle settings easier to view at a glance. Google built-in adds familiar digital functionality for drivers who want intuitive navigation, voice assistance, and app-based convenience integrated into the vehicle experience. Paired with the 11" diagonal Driver Information Center, the Terrain creates a clean flow of information between the central display and the driver’s line of sight. This is especially useful for shoppers who want a vehicle that feels current without requiring a steep learning curve. From daily errands to longer highway stretches, the system supports a more organized, connected drive.

Over 16 standard safety and driver assistance features

The 2027 GMC Terrain is built with confidence in mind, offering over 16 standard safety and driver assistance features. Blind Zone Steering Assist can alert you and provide a brief, firm turn of the steering wheel when a potential crash is detected with a moving vehicle in the lane you are entering. Forward Collision Alert can warn you if it detects a potential collision with a detected vehicle you are following and can also provide a tailgating alert. Front Pedestrian & Bicyclist Braking can help you avoid or reduce the severity of a collision with a pedestrian or bicyclist it detects directly in front of you at certain speeds. Rear Cross Traffic Braking can alert you and automatically provide hard emergency braking when a detected vehicle crosses behind you while reversing. IntelliBeam can automatically turn the high beams on and off according to surrounding traffic conditions. These technologies do not replace attentive driving, but they add meaningful support in everyday situations.

Selectable Drive Modes

Selectable Drive Modes help make the 2027 GMC Terrain feel more adaptable to the driver’s needs. With available All-Wheel Drive, the Terrain can be equipped with modes such as Normal, Snow, Off-Road, Tow/Haul, and AT4-exclusive Terrain Mode. This flexibility matters because drivers encounter many different surfaces and traffic patterns in Colorado, from paved city streets to graded roads, highway grades, and recreation access routes. Normal mode is designed for everyday driving, while Snow mode helps support added confidence in lower-traction conditions. Off-Road mode gives the Terrain more confidence beyond smooth pavement, and Tow/Haul mode is useful when using the available Trailering Package. AT4-exclusive Terrain Mode further reinforces the rugged personality of the AT4 trim. Combined with the 1.5L Turbo 4-cylinder engine and 8-speed automatic transmission, these modes help the Terrain deliver a composed drive while giving the driver more control over how the SUV responds.

60/40 split-folding rear seats

The 2027 GMC Terrain makes excellent use of its two-row layout with 60/40 split-folding rear seats, rear cargo underfloor storage, and front center console passthrough storage. With all seats in place, the Terrain offers 29.8 cu. ft. of cargo volume behind the second row, which is well-suited for groceries, school bags, small luggage, work gear, or everyday supplies. Fold the second row and the space expands to a maximum cargo volume of 63.5 cu. ft., giving the Terrain the flexibility to carry larger items while still remaining easy to maneuver. The split-folding design is especially useful because it allows a mix of passenger and cargo configurations. You can fold one side for longer items while keeping seating available on the other side. GMC also integrates useful hidden storage solutions, helping keep smaller items organized and out of sight. For a small SUV, the Terrain feels thoughtfully packaged and ready for real-life use.

Denali premium comfort

The Denali trim gives the 2027 GMC Terrain a more upscale identity, bringing premium materials, elevated design details, and comfort-focused features into the small SUV segment. Denali offers heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear outboard seats, animated headlamps and taillamps, HD Surround Vision, Rear Camera Mirror, and 19" Midnight Silver machined-face aluminum wheels with all-season tires. Exterior styling includes a signature Galvano chrome grille and chrome accents on the side and rear, creating a more refined presence. Inside, available perforated leather-appointed heated and ventilated 8-way power front seats provide comfort for both quick errands and longer drives. The available panoramic sunroof adds an open-air feel with a power sunshade, while the available Autosense Power Liftgate can open hands-free when you approach the rear of the SUV with the key fob in your pocket or bag. Denali is ideal for shoppers who want compact SUV practicality with premium GMC character.
