What's New on GMC Terrain?

Introduction

  • The GMC Terrain is a premium compact SUV that received its latest facelift in 2025, with a fresh exterior, a huge 15-inch infotainment touchscreen and is packed with over 15 safety features, earning the distinction as the most highly equipped compact SUV in its segment.
  • Targeted for Families and professionals, who prefer a compact but also premium SUV which comes with rugged built quality, superb driving dynamics and rich infotainment in the UAE market. The American brand positioned the SUV below the larger Acadia in the brand’s lineup, and prices ranging between AED 115,000 - 157,000. The Terrain is an outstanding value for money, where equally compelling rivals like Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, Nissan X-Trail, Ford Escape, and Mazda CX-5.
  • Interior Key Highlights Design & Quality The interior of this new facelifted Terrain takes a major advancement that its outgoing model, with now clear focus on providing greater comfort, practicality, and cutting-edge technology. The cabin design is familiar and yet you get the vibes of changes that are new. The quality of the material feels premium with soft-touch surfaces, leather upholstery and brushed aluminium accents. And, this makes it feel way above its segment due to a pretty close luxury experience that rivals pricier competitors. Most of you will like the massive 15-inch touchscreen infotainment system, which, by the way, runs on a Google-based interface, integrated with an 11-inch digital instrument cluster, and that is the highlight of this modern and advanced cabin. Coming to the build quality, there are hardly any complaints, everything feels a lot durable and can be designed to last long. We loved the layout, which is intuitive, with physical controls for climate and audio settings, and gives you easy and without over-relying on the touchscreen. The ambient lighting is something cool as well. Front Seat The front seats are just fine, nothing much other than looking to be designed for greater comfort and support. There are 8-way power adjustments, lumbar support, and optional heating/ventilation that should help you tackle the UAE’s heat. Our experience says the driver’s seat has a superior view of not just the road but the overall surroundings as well. You feel in a commanding position, and the multi-function steering wheel has access for audio, cruise, and phone functions, which adds to your overall convenience while you drive. Electronic Parking Brake The Terrain, as expected, has an electronic parking brake with hill-start assist, well located on the centre console. This allows you to park easily on inclines, common in the UAE’s hilly areas, quickly, simply and hassle-free. Rear Seat The rear bench is such that they have ample space for three passengers, with nearly 1,000 mm of legroom and reclining function, which most of the passengers will love for their comfort. The Terrain’s rear seat is great for families or those who frequently travel with passengers, and you get enough space for adults to sit comfortably on those long family road trips. AC Vents Dual-zone automatic climate control with rear vents takes care of your need for a cool and comfortable cabin, no matter what the temperature hits in the peak of summer. Storage Options The cabin size, design and overall space, storage shouldn’t be a problem most of the time, at least that is what our impression is. With a sizable glovebox, a deep centre console, door-mounted bottle holders (up to 1-litre bottles), and a rear armrest compartment are places to keep your stuff. Armrest Front and rear centre armrests with cupholders give that necessary comfort and convenience, making long drives feel relaxed. The armrests are well-padded, improving the overall cabin experience. Charging Options The Terrain keeps devices powered with multiple USB-C ports, a 12V socket, and an optional wireless charging pad. Boot Space The 2025 Terrain gets 838 litres of cargo space with the rear seats up; if you choose to expand, it goes up to 1,792 litres when folded flat. The flat-folding rear seats and cargo management system allow easy loading and unloading, with sufficient space to fit two large suitcases and additional bags, whether it's for family trips or weekend adventurers.

Exterior

  • One of the things that has changed in the 2025 Terrain is the exterior. It is fair to say, it has been completely revamped with the adoption of a muscular, truck-inspired design. It gets a blockier, more rugged and larger grille and curved body profiles.
  • The SUV now comes with 4,650 mm in length, 1,902 mm in width, and 1,661 mm in height, with a wheelbase of around 2,725 mm. These measures point towards Terrain's attempt to balance between compact agility and an adequate road stance. Its 180 mm ground clearance is just fine for light off-road trails, common across the UAE’s desert outskirts. Overall, the exterior exhibits confidence with sharp lines, bold proportions, and rugged details that are key attributes of GMC’s truck pedigree. A panoramic sunroof, available on higher trims, further provides an elegant appearance.
  • At the front what instantly attracts attention is the C-shaped LED headlights, coupled with a sizable, bold grille. The redesigned bumper gets striking air intakes, cementing its rugged exterior, and chrome accents add elements to the look along with the standard fog lamps.
  • From the side, the Terrain makes it easy to make out its ruggedness with sculpted body elements. The angled C-pillar is quite distinctive, while chrome window surrounds and roof rails add the premium vibe. The usual aspects like body-colored side mirrors with integrated turn signals are standard, and the Terrain rides on 17-inch or 19-inch alloy wheels that add to the overall look and feel of the SUV.
  • The Terrain comes with alloy wheels ranging from 17-inch to 19-inch, and without a doubt makes the car what it is when it comes not just to look but quite efficient too. The wheels exude confidence of great grip when travelling through various terrains across the country, be it city, town or highway.
  • The rear is impressive because the design is suitable for the overall SUV’s exterior, and the major attraction is the modern C-shaped LED taillights, which help it appear quite integrated with the rest of the body. A roof-mounted spoiler and chrome-accented bumper are other aesthetic elements that make it sporty. The shark fin antenna and rear wiper are good functional aspects for superior visibility in dusty or rainy conditions.
  • The Terrain comes in Summit White, Ebony Twilight Metallic, Sterling Metallic, Volcanic Red Tintcoat, and Deep Bronze Metallic colours.
  • Engine & Fuel Consumption Key Highlights Specification Details Engine Type Turbocharged 1.5L 4-cylinder Displacement 1,498 cm³ Maximum Power 175 hp @ 5,800 rpm Maximum Torque 203 Nm @ 2,000–4,000 rpm (AWD) Drive Type Front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive Transmission Type 8-speed automatic (AWD) or CVT (FWD) Top Speed 190 km/h (estimated) Acceleration 0-100 km/h 8.5–9.0 seconds (estimated) City Performance Your city driving is largely determined by the powertrain, and here the Terrain, with its 1.5L turbocharged engine, with an 8-speed automatic (AWD) or CVT (FWD), is just perfect. We arrived at this conclusion after taking the SUV to spin across several cities, and the power delivery is smooth and responsive, making it exciting to drive in the city. The mileage is not bad either, despite the powerful performance, and with it, a lot of buyers wish to use it for daily commuting. The Terrain is an affordable choice with a lot on offer for even families. Highway Performance On highways, the Terrain’s 175 hp and 203 Nm of torque should largely be enough, if you want to cruise at speed and also overtake smoothly. The all-wheel-drive option and Drive Mode Selector (with Normal, Tow/Haul, and Off-Road modes) are great features to have, which provide greater versatility and stability. Notably, the SUV has been well-built from an NVH perspective, and so the cabin is largely quiet, which further adds to the quality of your highway driving by eliminating the noise of wind or road. Ride and Handling The Terrain’s suspension offers a great balance between comfort and agility, and nicely absorbs bumps on UAE roads. The option of an all-wheel-drive system and high 180 mm ground clearance add to the fun of driving with quiet handling, no matter if you’re through off-road, such as desert paths, though it’s not a dedicated off-roader. The steering isn’t the best, but it is accurate and easy to operate. With minimal body roll, the Terrain is agile in the city and highly confident on highways.
