GMC is in the process of overhauling its SUV lineup. First came the 2024 Acadia, which arrives this year with fresh styling and exclusively powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder. GMC has also teased a refreshed Yukon, showing off the full-size SUV's squared-off new headlight. Now the American brand is teasing the final piece of the puzzle, the next-generation Terrain compact crossover, which will be revealed later this year.
The image is similar to the of the Yukon, revealing the headlight and a portion of the grille. As with the Yukon, GMC is also teasing the off-road-oriented AT4 model. The Terrain AT4 looks to adopt a similarly butch design as its fellow GMCs, replacing the current Terrain's softer styling with a boxier appearance that reminds us of the pre-refresh Yukon. The new grille is surrounded by glossy black trim that links to both the headlights and a smaller trapezoidal trim piece in the bumper.
GMC didn't provide any other details about the third-generation Terrain, nor did the company specify when exactly to expect the new crossover. The current Terrain is a close cousin to the Chevrolet Equinox, and we expect that relationship to continue. A new iteration of the Equinox debuted for 2025, using a 175-hp turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder, connected to a continuously variable transmission on front-wheel-drive models and an eight-speed automatic on all-wheel-drive examples.
This engine's output is unchanged from its role in the outgoing Equinox and Terrain, but the 2024 Terrain currently hooks up to a nine-speed automatic. We expect it to follow the Equinox's gearbox switch when it arrives later this year. Spy shots also show that the Terrain is set to gain a massive vertical touchscreen, in a similar vein to the 2024 Acadia's 15.0-inch center display. It will also be paired with a digital dashboard, likely the same 11.0-inch unit from the Acadia.
