Last updated August 13, 2026

About the 2014 GMC Terrain
1st generation (2010-2017), fifth model year; no redesign or major exterior update for 2014
GMC presented the Terrain as a five-seat crossover that combined bold, truck-influenced styling with a quiet cabin, a comfortable ride and flexible interior space. Its sliding and reclining rear seat was central to the model’s everyday usefulness, while higher trims added leather, driver-assistance features and extra cabin comfort. The model range included efficient four-cylinder versions and stronger V6 versions, plus front- and all-wheel-drive configurations.
The 2014 Terrain ranges from the straightforward SLE-1, with a 182-hp four-cylinder engine and 7-inch touchscreen, to leather-equipped SLT trims with heated front seats and upgraded audio. Denali is the comfort- and technology-focused version, adding blind-zone and rear cross-traffic alerts, front-seat power adjustment, a programmable liftgate, and specially tuned front suspension.
