The 2026 GMC Terrain comes with a 1.5L turbocharged four-cylinder engine, delivering 175 horsepower. This engine is paired with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) in the Elevation trim for Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) models. For the AT4 and Denali trims, which come with All-Wheel Drive (AWD), the Terrain features an 8-speed automatic transmission. This setup ensures smooth acceleration and excellent fuel efficiency, providing power for both city driving and off-road excursions while maintaining optimal performance.

The 2026 GMC Terrain offers a dynamic driving experience, combining a responsive engine with advanced suspension for a smooth and controlled ride.
