Key Features of the 2027 GMC Terrain

15" diagonal Premium GMC Infotainment System

The 15" diagonal Premium GMC Infotainment System is one of the most important highlights of the 2027 GMC Terrain because it gives the cabin a high-tech centerpiece that is easy to see, reach and personalize. GMC designed this color touchscreen display to help drivers access, manage and customize favorite in-vehicle entertainment, connected services and vehicle settings. The large vertical layout gives the interior a modern feel, while the interface supports the kind of quick interaction drivers expect from today’s technology. Paired with the 11" diagonal Driver Information Center, the Terrain places key information in front of the driver and keeps additional controls close at hand. Google built-in is also part of the Terrain technology story, helping drivers use familiar tools for supported navigation, voice assistance and apps. This is especially useful for drivers who move between city streets, state highways and rural routes because the system is designed to make information access feel natural. Instead of feeling like an added gadget, the infotainment setup becomes part of the everyday driving rhythm.

Flexible Cargo Space

The 2027 Terrain makes excellent use of its small SUV footprint by offering cargo solutions that help support real life. GMC lists max cargo volume at 63.5 cu. ft. behind the first row and 29.8 cu. ft. behind the second row, giving drivers useful room for groceries, work items, sports gear, luggage or home improvement supplies. The 60/40 split-folding rear seats are a key part of that versatility because drivers can carry a combination of passengers and longer items without needing to fold the full second row. A rear cargo underfloor storage compartment adds another practical advantage, helping keep smaller valuables, tools or emergency items tucked away. The front center console passthrough storage adds another thoughtful solution for items that do not fit neatly in a typical bin. The available AutoSense Power Liftgate also supports convenience by allowing hands-free liftgate access when the driver walks up to the rear of the SUV with the key fob in a pocket or bag. It is a smart feature for busy errands and loaded hands.

Available All-Wheel Drive and Selectable Drive Modes

Capability is a major reason the Terrain feels well suited to Southern Colorado driving. Every 2027 Terrain features a 1.5L Turbo 4-cylinder engine and an 8-speed automatic transmission, a pairing designed to feel smooth, responsive and confident for daily travel. Available All-Wheel Drive helps provide added traction in certain road and weather conditions, making it a smart consideration for drivers who regularly encounter changing surfaces, unpaved access roads or mountain routes. GMC also equips the Terrain with selectable drive modes that can include Normal, Snow, Off-Road and Tow/Haul, while AT4 adds an AT4-exclusive Terrain Mode. These settings help the driver tailor vehicle behavior to the situation, whether the priority is everyday efficiency, added traction support or light trailering confidence. When properly equipped, the Terrain can tow up to 1,500 lbs. with the available Trailering Package and In-Vehicle Trailering App. That capability can support smaller recreational items, such as a pop-up camper, teardrop camper, small trailer, two jet skis or a light fishing boat.

GMC Terrain AT4 Capability

The AT4 trim gives the 2027 Terrain a more rugged personality for drivers who want a small SUV with added capability cues and adventure-ready confidence. AT4 includes an AT4-exclusive Terrain drive mode, a lifted ride height with red front recovery hooks, a front skid plate with steel underbody shield, 17" Dark Machined aluminum wheels and all-terrain tires. These details are not just for appearance. They help create a more confident stance and give the Terrain AT4 a purposeful feel when pavement gives way to uneven routes, gravel access roads or outdoor destinations. LED fog lamps further support the AT4 identity, while the trim’s design details make it instantly recognizable. For drivers who like the maneuverability of a compact SUV but want something that feels more capable and outdoors-oriented, the AT4 is a compelling choice. It still delivers the technology, comfort and everyday usability that define the Terrain lineup, but it adds equipment and visual toughness that can make the drive feel more confident and more personal.

Over 16 Standard Safety and Driver Assistance Features

GMC places a strong emphasis on driver confidence in the 2027 Terrain, and the SUV offers 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 being followed and can also provide a tailgating alert. The HD Rear Vision Camera shows a high-resolution digital image of the area directly behind the vehicle when in Reverse and can display an overlay of where the vehicle is heading. Front Pedestrian & Bicyclist Braking can help the driver avoid or reduce the severity of a collision with a detected pedestrian or bicyclist directly ahead within certain speed ranges. IntelliBeam can automatically turn high beams on and off according to surrounding traffic conditions at speeds above 25 mph. Rear Cross Traffic Braking can alert the driver and automatically provide hard emergency braking when detected vehicles cross behind the Terrain in Reverse.
