2027 GMC Terrain
What’s new on the 2027 GMC Terrain?
Safety and technology lead the story for the 2027 GMC Terrain. Every trim of this five-passenger compact SUV includes Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind Zone Steering Assist, Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking and a 15-inch diagonal touchscreen. Underneath, each Canadian Terrain uses the same 1.5 L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, rated at 175 hp and 203 lb-ft of torque, with an 8-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. The 2027 model keeps the truck-inspired styling and wide cabin that GMC introduced with the 2025 Terrain. Shoppers in Windsor and Essex County can choose between three trims: the Elevation, the AT4 and the Denali. With highway fuel estimates as low as 8.5 L/100 km and up to 1,798 litres of cargo space, the Terrain is worth a look for regular drives along Highway 401 and weekend errands around town. It is available now at Premier Chevrolet Cadillac Buick GMC, where our team can help you compare all three versions.
Powertrain
Turbo Gasoline Engine
All three 2027 Terrain trims use a 1.5 L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with 175 hp and 203 lb-ft of torque. The engine works with an 8-speed automatic transmission and Automatic Stop/Start, and all-wheel drive is standard. Standard all-wheel drive adds traction in wet weather, and a Drive Mode Selector and Hill Descent Control are included on every trim. The AT4 adds a stamped-steel front skid plate, all-terrain tires and 166 mm of ground clearance for gravel side roads and trail access.
Efficiency & Capability
For highway driving, the Elevation carries an EnerGuide estimate of 8.5 L/100 km, while the AT4 and Denali are rated at 8.9 L/100 km. City estimates are 9.9 L/100 km on every trim. A 59-litre fuel tank and E15 fuel capability complete the specifications. When towing, the Trailering Package rates the Terrain for up to 680 kg (1,500 lbs). This package is standard on the AT4 and Denali and available on the Elevation, where a trailer hitch on its own is rated at 454 kg (1,000 lbs). MacPherson struts and a 4-link rear suspension are used across the lineup.
Technology
The 15-inch diagonal GMC Premium Infotainment System comes on every 2027 Terrain and works with wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto for compatible phones. Google built-in compatibility is standard, along with 5G vehicle connectivity, Wi-Fi hotspot capability and a SiriusXM with 360L trial subscription. A 6-speaker audio system and Active Noise Cancellation are also standard. Convenience features include Remote Start, Keyless Open and Start, and Universal Home Remote on the AT4 and Denali. The AutoSense power liftgate, standard on the upper trims, opens when the key fob is close by, which is handy with arms full of groceries.
Every Terrain comes with Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking and Forward Collision Alert. Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning and Side Bicyclist Alert are also standard, along with a Following Distance Indicator for steady speeds on the E.C. Row Expressway. At lower speeds, Rear Park Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Braking and Reverse Automatic Braking are standard. The Denali also includes HD Surround Vision, a Rear Camera Mirror, Traffic Sign Recognition and Rear Pedestrian Alert, which are available on the other trims through Technology Package II.
Exterior
GMC gave the current Terrain a design language tied closely to its truck lineup, and that look carries into 2027. A wide grille anchors the front end, and on trims with fog lamps the grille connects the headlamps to the lower lights. LED headlamps are standard on the Elevation with welcome walk-up lighting, while the AT4 and Denali use uplevel LED lamps with animated walk-up and departure sequences. The Denali sets itself apart with body-colour mirror caps and chrome-strip door handles, and the AT4 uses High Gloss Black mirror caps. Solar-absorbing rear side windows and deep-tinted rear glass are standard.
The Terrain measures 4,597 mm long, 1,892 mm wide and either 1,672 mm or 1,680 mm tall depending on the trim. Its 2,730 mm wheelbase and track widths of 1,620 mm in front and 1,622 mm at the rear give it a planted stance. Wheels range from 17 inches on the Elevation and AT4 to 19 inches on the Denali, with 20-inch After Midnight wheels available on the top trim. A panoramic power sunroof is standard on the Denali and available on the other trims, and the two-tone Ebony Twilight Metallic roof is available throughout. For trips to Point Pelee or along the Lake Erie shoreline, roof rails and available cross rails help carry extra gear.
Interior
The cabin follows long horizontal lines that make the space feel wider, with chrome accents on the instrument panel, upper doors and console armrest. A 15-inch diagonal touchscreen anchors the dashboard, and the sport-style steering wheel is heated on every trim. Seating materials change by trim: Premium Cloth on the Elevation, Cloth/CoreTec on the AT4 and perforated leather-appointed seats on the Denali, with Light Ash Grey and Very Dark Atmosphere among the Denali choices. Wireless phone charging sits near the armrest and is standard on the AT4 and Denali. A 12-volt outlet and carpeted load floor are found in the cargo area.
There is room for five occupants, with 1,465 mm of front shoulder room and 1,008 mm of rear legroom. Behind the second row, cargo space measures 844 litres, rising to 1,798 litres with the rear seats folded. Long commutes toward London or Chatham are easier with dual-zone automatic climate control on the AT4 and Denali and the Denali’s ventilated front seats. The 8-way power driver seat with power lumbar control is standard on the AT4 and Denali and available on the Elevation. The Denali also adds memory settings for the driver’s seat and outside mirrors.
