The GMC Terrain has entered a new generation in 2025, available only in the Elevation model. The 2025 GMC Terrain Elevation is compact, well-equipped, and ready to tackle the streets. Let’s see what we can expect from it.

Turbocharged Efficiency

Under the hood of the Terrain Elevation is a 1.5L turbocharged inline-four engine that produces 175 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque. A 9-speed automatic transmission handles gear shifting. The SUV is available in both front-wheel and all-wheel drive. The AWD system uses a twin-clutch rear differential to manage torque distribution between the left and right rear wheels, which improves traction and handling.

City drivers will love the Terrain Elevation’s strong fuel economy. FWD models offer 26 mpg combined, while AWD variants have a 25 mpg combined rating.

Designed For Comfort and Utility

Seating for five adults is standard, with front bucket seats offering 8-way power adjustments, 2-way lumbar support, and available heating. Contrast stitching on the seats provides strong visual appeal, as do the soft touch surfaces on the door panels and dashboard.

The second-row bench seat features a 60/40 split-folding layout with recline functionality. When folded flat, cargo space expands from 30 cubic feet to 63.3 cubic feet. The front passenger seat also folds flat, accommodating items up to eight feet in length. Other storage compartments can be found in the overhead sunglasses holder, door pockets, and center console.

Urban-Focused Design

The Terrain Elevation is set apart with sporty styling, featuring gloss black 19-inch aluminum wheels, a darkened front grille, black mirror caps, roof rails, and badges. Several exterior convenience features are standard, including heated power side mirrors with integrated turn signals, a rear window wiper and defogger, and a power liftgate (with available hands-free operation).

Modern Technology Stack

The Terrain Elevation is equipped with GMC’s infotainment software hosted on an 8-inch touchscreen display. The system includes wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, Bluetooth connectivity, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and natural voice commands. Drivers can take advantage of a 3-month free trial of SiriusXM radio to listen to over 150 channels. To keep your phone charged, you can use the USB ports or the available wireless charging pad.

Technology-enhanced safety is provided via the GMC Pro Safety suite, which includes intelligent driver-assistance features such as Forward Collision Alert, Front Pedestrian Braking, and Following Distance Indicator. The Pro Safety Plus package adds helpful features such as Rear Park Assist and Rear Cross Traffic Alert.

For urban drivers who demand capable power, refined style, and technology to keep them safe and connected, the GMC Terrain Elevation is the go-to choice. Get started with your test drive at Sun GMC in Wantagh, NY.
