About the 2024 GMC Terrain

2nd generation Terrain (2018-2024), in the refreshed 2022-2024 phase; 2024 is the final year before the all-new 2025 Terrain.

GMC positions the Terrain as its small, easy-to-live-with SUV and the brand’s entry point for buyers who want GMC styling in a compact size. The core appeal is simple: upright GMC looks, a useful cargo area with flexible folding seats, standard safety basics, and a trim ladder that lets the same small SUV lean more rugged in AT4 or more upscale in Denali. It is aimed at daily commuting, small-family duty, and light road-trip use rather than heavy towing or serious off-roading.

The 2024 Terrain lineup ranges from the practical SLE to the comfort-focused SLT, rugged-looking AT4, and upscale Denali. SLE has wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while SLT adds heated front seats, an 8-inch touchscreen, and a hands-free power liftgate. AT4 pairs standard AWD with underbody protection and an Off-Road mode, while Denali adds leather-appointed seats, built-in navigation, wireless charging, and a head-up display.

What changed, by category

Safety
GMC Pro Safety Plus becomes standard on AT4, adding standard blind-spot monitoring with lane-change alert, rear cross-traffic alert, rear parking sensors, a Safety Alert Seat, and adaptive cruise control. Adaptive cruise control is no longer standard on Denali and becomes optional equipment.

How the 2025 GMC Terrain compares

Frequently asked questions

What is the biggest change to the 2024 GMC Terrain?

The biggest change is that the 2024 Terrain AT4 gains GMC Pro Safety Plus as standard equipment. The package adds blind-spot monitoring with lane-change alert, rear cross-traffic alert, rear parking sensors, a Safety Alert Seat, and adaptive cruise control.

Was the 2024 GMC Terrain redesigned?

No, the 2024 GMC Terrain was not redesigned. It carries over the refreshed second-generation design introduced for 2022 and is the final model year before the all-new 2025 Terrain.

Did the 2024 GMC Terrain get a new engine?

No, the 2024 GMC Terrain keeps the 1.5-liter turbo four-cylinder engine and nine-speed automatic transmission across all four trims.

Is the 2024 GMC Terrain worth considering over the 2023 model?

The 2024 model is most meaningfully different for AT4 shoppers because its expanded safety package is standard. Otherwise, the engine, four-trim lineup, styling, and main technology features largely carry over from 2023.

What distinguishes the 2024 Terrain AT4 from the other trims?

The 2024 Terrain AT4 has a tougher look and light off-pavement hardware, including standard AWD, a front steel skid plate, an Off-Road driving mode, and AT4-specific trim. For 2024, its expanded safety package is also standard.
