The Terrain’s Truck-Inspired Design
The 2025 Terrain has a new grille that now shares design cues with GMC’s truck lineup by connecting the new headlamps to the lower fog lights. It will also offer a GMC Terrain-first two-tone roof option in black or gray.
The new interior offers chrome decoration sweeping the IP insert, upper door, and console armrest. Available wireless chargers are located near the armrest.
