2027 GMC Terrain: What’s New, Trims, Specs, and Features

The 2027 GMC Terrain now ships with a 15-inch Premium GMC Infotainment touchscreen and Google built-in as standard equipment. The Terrain also adds an 11-inch Driver Information Center, a notable upgrade over the prior generation’s smaller display. This page covers every trim, spec, and feature change, with current inventory available at Greg Hubler Buick GMC.

What’s New for 2027

The headline change on the 2027 Terrain is the standard 15-inch diagonal Premium GMC Infotainment touchscreen, a significant jump in screen real estate that brings Google built-in and Google Assistant voice control across the lineup. Paired with an 11-inch Driver Information Center, the cabin now feels considerably more tech-forward than prior model years.

Safety additions are equally notable. Blind Zone Steering Assist, Forward Collision Alert, HD Rear Vision Camera, and Tailgating Alert all come standard regardless of trim. Shoppers who previously had to option up for these features will find them present from the base Elevation.

The AT4 trim continues to anchor the off-road-oriented end of the lineup, while the Denali remains the feature-loaded top grade with available HD Surround Vision and remote interior/exterior camera viewing through the Technology Package.

Full GMC lineup overview

Trim Lineup

The 2027 Terrain is offered in four trims, each building meaningfully on the one below it.

2027 GMC Terrain Elevation

Elevation

The Elevation is the entry point and delivers the full 15-inch touchscreen, Google built-in, standard safety suite, Bluetooth, and AM/FM radio. Front-wheel drive comes standard; all-wheel drive is available for buyers who want added traction for Indiana winters. The Elevation sets a solid foundation without requiring buyers to step up for core technology.

2027 GMC Terrain AT4

AT4

The AT4 is the performance-oriented grade and comes exclusively with AWD. It adds off-road-tuned styling cues and ride characteristics suited for buyers who venture beyond pavement or simply prefer a more rugged aesthetic. The AT4 slots in as the mid-high tier and maintains all the standard tech from the Elevation.

2027 GMC Terrain Denali

Denali

The Denali is the top grade and the one to choose if you want every available feature. HD Surround Vision, premium interior materials, and the full suite of available technology packages are accessible here. The AutoSense Liftgate and panoramic sunroof are also available at this level, making the Denali the most comfort-oriented Terrain in the lineup.

Performance and Powertrain

Engine

Every 2027 Terrain runs a 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine producing 175 hp and 203 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.

Drivetrain

Front-wheel drive is standard on the Elevation; AWD is available on the Elevation and standard on the AT4 and Denali.

Fuel Economy

Fuel economy comes in at 25 city / 28 highway / 27 combined MPG for the FWD configuration.

Towing

Towing capacity reaches 1,500 lbs, which handles light duty tasks such as small trailers and recreational equipment. The Terrain is not a heavy-haul vehicle, but it manages everyday towing needs without issue.

EPA fuel economy ratings

AWD models will see slightly different ratings depending on driving conditions.

The 1.5L turbo has been a reliable powerplant in the compact SUV segment, and the 8-speed automatic keeps the engine in its power band efficiently during highway driving.

2027 GMC Terrain interior comfort and cargo

Interior, Comfort, and Cargo

The 2027 Terrain seats five across two rows. Ground clearance measures 5.75 inches and overall height is 65.81 inches, giving the Terrain a proportionally upright stance that makes entry and exit easy for a range of passengers.

Cargo space behind the second row is 29.8 cubic feet, expanding to 63.5 cubic feet with the rear seats folded. Both numbers compete favorably in the compact crossover segment and make the Terrain practical for grocery runs, weekend trips out of Marion, or hauling gear across central Indiana.

The available panoramic sunroof opens the cabin significantly and pairs well with the Terrain’s relatively tall roofline. Interior materials step up through the trims, with the Denali offering the most premium finish.

Technology and Infotainment

The 15-inch diagonal Premium GMC Infotainment touchscreen is the centerpiece of the 2027 Terrain cabin. Google built-in means drivers can use Google Maps, Google Assistant, and compatible apps without a phone connection. Google Assistant voice control allows hands-free access to navigation, calls, and media.

The 11-inch Driver Information Center sits in the instrument cluster and delivers trip data, driver assistance alerts, and configurable display layouts.

Additional technology features include:

  • Bluetooth Wireless Technology (standard across all trims)
  • AM/FM Radio
  • Available AutoSense Liftgate (hands-free power liftgate activation)
  • Available HD Surround Vision (Denali)
  • Available panoramic sunroof
  • Available remote interior/exterior camera viewing (Technology Package)

The remote camera viewing feature is particularly useful for checking on cargo or monitoring the exterior when parked, accessed through the myGMC app.

GMC technology and infotainment features

2027 GMC Terrain technology and infotainment
2027 GMC Terrain safety and driver assistance

Safety and Driver Assistance

The 2027 Terrain ships with four standard driver assistance features across every trim:

  • Blind Zone Steering Assist actively helps correct steering when a vehicle is detected in the blind spot during a lane change attempt.
  • Forward Collision Alert warns the driver when a frontal impact risk is detected.
  • HD Rear Vision Camera provides a high-definition rearview feed when reversing.
  • Tailgating Alert notifies the driver when following distance drops below a safe threshold.

Making these standard rather than optional is one of the meaningful changes for 2027. Buyers at the Elevation level receive the same foundational safety net as those in the Denali, which is a buyer-friendly decision from GMC.

The Denali’s available HD Surround Vision gives a bird’s-eye camera view of the vehicle, useful in tight parking situations.

Who the 2027 Terrain Is For

The 2027 Terrain fits buyers who want a compact crossover with genuine technology upgrades rather than a refreshed interior that requires expensive option packages to feel current. The standard 15-inch screen and Google built-in answer one of the most common complaints about prior-year Terrains, where comparable tech required a higher trim selection.

Compared to the prior model year, the 2027 represents a meaningful cabin and tech upgrade without a dramatic change in size, footprint, or powertrain. Shoppers already familiar with the Terrain’s proportions (181 inches long, 5-passenger seating, 29.8 cu ft of cargo behind row two) will find the platform familiar but noticeably more capable inside.

For drivers in Marion and across the surrounding area who want AWD traction for Indiana winters, the Elevation AWD provides a cost-effective path to all-wheel drive without stepping into AT4 or Denali territory. Buyers who prioritize trail-ready styling should look at the AT4, while those who want a fully loaded daily driver will find the Denali justifies its place at the top.
