2013 - Present GMC Terrain Trim Configurations
When the GMC Terrain was introduced for its first year of production in 2010, it was loosely based on the design of the popular Chevrolet Equinox. Throughout this initial generation of production, there were some changes across model years. For example, in 2013, the GMC Terrain saw the introduction of the Denali trim, which was equipped with additional options, such as blind-spot monitoring and cross-traffic detection.
For the 2014 model year, there were some minor changes and updates, including a new Chrome package and additional wheel options. Aside from this, the 2014 Terrain is mostly unchanged.
For the 2015 model year, the GMC Terrain received a standard 4GWi-Fihotspot, which became a major selling point and was carried on into all future model years as well.
More significant changes came along for the 2016 model year, including a change in feature/equipment availability. For example, whereas lane-departure warning used to only be available in the Denali trim, it was made available in both the SLE-2 and SLT trims for this model year. The exterior styling of the GMC Terrain 2016 also saw a major update.
Aside from new standard 18-inch wheels and an additional package option (the Nightfall Appearance Package), the 2017 GMC Terrain is mostly unchanged when compared to the 2016 model year.
2013-2015 Trims:
The 2013-2015 model years are available in three GMC Terrain trim levels:
- SLE-1 - rearview camera, Bluetooth phone connectivity, six-speaker sound system, seven-inch touchscreen interface, and 17-inch alloy wheels
- SLE-2 - roof rails, leather-wrapped steering wheel, eight-speaker sound system, power driver seat
- Denali - upgraded wheels, cross-traffic alert and blind-spot monitoring, and upgraded exterior/interior trim accents
2016-2017 Trims:
These model years are offered in five trim levels:
- SL - 17-inch wheels, rearview camera, privacy glass, full power accessories, Bluetooth® connectivity, and a seven-inch touchscreen
- SLE-1 - exterior heated mirrors, satellite radio, and optional all-wheel drive
- SLE-2 - automatic climate control, and an eight-speaker sound system, smartphone compatibility, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel
- SLT - larger 18-inch wheels, remote start, heated front seats, chrome exterior accents, and an ambient lighting package
- Denali - specialized wheels, upgraded interior/exterior accents, blind spot monitoring, rear parking sensors, and cross-traffic detection
The GMC Terrain is now in its second generation of production, starting with the GMC Terrain 2018. For this model year, it was completely redesigned with today's consumer in mind. Specifically, GMC decided to do away with the SLE-1 and SLE-2 trims, combining them into one simplified SLE trim instead. This generation of GMC Terrain is also three inches shorter and about 400 pounds lighter than that of previous GMC Terrain models; impressively, however, it doesn't lose more than an inch of interior space. It also has an available engine upgrade — a GMC Terrain diesel at 1.6 liters.
In terms of GMC Terrain gas mileage, the 2018 Terrain with base SL trim and 1.5-liter engine gets an estimated 28 mpg combined (26 city and 30 highway).1 For reference, the base trim 2017 model and 2.6-liter engine gets an estimated 25 mpg combined (21 city and 31 highway).1
Depending on how it's equipped, the GMC Terrain towing capacity for the 2018 model year is anywhere between an estimated 1,500 and 3,500 pounds.2
2018 Trims:
SL - turbocharged engine, 17-inch wheels, rearview camera, smartphone compatibility, and keyless ignition/entry.
SLE - auto-dimming rearview mirror, additional package options, and compact spare tire
SLT - leather upholstery, heated front seats, automatic dual-zone climate control, and a larger 8-inch touchscreen
Denali - larger 19-inch wheels, unique interior trim accents, Driver Alert package, and Preferred package (power lift gate, heated steering wheel, and power passenger seat)

Reviews for GMC Terrain
Nice Vehicle During Dry Weather
I really love the vehicle. I purchased it November 2020, however I feel strongly during rainy weather, there is water leaking through an unknown area on the right rear passenger's side. This prevent me from rating it higher. Prayerfully the warranty will rectify this hopefully small problem. Drives good, good on gas and very comfortable.
Pros
- Interior Space: comfortable seating
- Fuel Economy: I fill up once a month (mostly city miles)
- Cabin Noise: quiet riding vehicle
