Frequently Asked Questions About the New GMC Terrain

What is the warranty coverage on the GMC Terrain?

Your new GMC vehicle is protected by a standard 3-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty, a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty, and 5 years or 60,000 miles of roadside assistance coverage.

What is the maximum towing capacity of the 2026 GMC Terrain?

When properly equipped with the available Trailering Package, all-wheel-drive models can tow up to 1,500 lbs. This provides enough capability to pull light utility trailers, a pair of jet skis, or a small pop-up camper. Front-wheel-drive models are limited to a maximum towing capacity of 800 lbs.

Does the 2026 GMC Terrain offer a third-row seating option?

No. The Terrain is strictly a two-row compact SUV designed to carry up to five passengers. This layout prioritizes passenger legroom and cargo versatility, offering about 30 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row and up to about 63.5 cu ft of maximum cargo volume when the 60/40 split-folding rear seats are folded flat.

What are the primary differences between the transmissions in the Terrain lineup?

Front-wheel-drive Elevation trims utilize a continuously variable transmission (CVT) designed to optimize fuel efficiency during daily commutes. All-wheel-drive models (including the Elevation AWD, AT4, and Denali) are equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission, which provides more direct gear changes and allows for a higher torque rating of 203 lb-ft.

What connectivity features are included standard on the 15-inch touchscreen?

The standard 15-inch Premium GMC Infotainment System features Google built-in compatibility, which provides native access to Google Maps navigation and Google Assistant. It also supports wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto, allowing you to connect your smartphone without cluttering the center console with cables.

What is the gas mileage of the new GMC Terrain?

The new Terrain's economy remains competitive for a non-hybrid crossover. According to EPA estimates:

• The Elevation FWD trim returns  26 mpg city / 28 mpg highway (27 mpg combined)
• The Elevation AWD trim offers  24 mpg city / 28 mpg highway (25 mpg combined)
• AT4 and Denali AWD trims are rated at  24 mpg city / 26 mpg highway (25 mpg combined)
