Specs at a Glance
The 2027 GMC Terrain is a highly recommended small SUV. You'll love its family-friendly interior, smooth ride, and long list of standard safety technologies. When shopping for a new Terrain, some drivers will be deciding between the Elevation and Denali trim levels. Let's take a look at how these two trims compare.
Performance
Both trims come standard with a punchy 1.5-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. GMC rates it at 175 horsepower, ensuring responsive acceleration in everyday driving. A refined eight-speed automatic transmission enhances performance. While the Elevation trim comes standard with front-wheel drive, it offers all-wheel drive and a dedicated Off-Road mode as options. Meanwhile, all-wheel drive is standard on the Denali trim.
From a performance standpoint, one of the biggest differences between these two trims is the Terrain Denali's premium suspension. Unique damping hardware promotes an especially smooth and quiet ride.
Appearance
The Terrain Elevation has a modern yet rugged look. Its truck-inspired front fascia definitely makes a strong statement. You will immediately notice the SUV's signature C-shaped LED daytime running lights and bold grille. A stylish set of 17-inch machined aluminum wheels adds even more style. GMC offers the Elevation trim in six exterior colors, including Volcanic Red Tintcoat and Rapids Metallic.
Equipped with animated headlamps and taillights, the Terrain Denali has an especially upscale appearance. An exclusive grille and chrome exterior accents further differentiate the Denali trim. You'll also notice its exclusive 19-inch alloy wheels. LED fog lights come standard.
Features
Many great features come standard on the entry-level Terrain Elevation. A big highlight is its premium GMC infotainment system, which boasts a large 15.0-inch touchscreen with Google Built-In. When traveling, you and your family can take full advantage of the SUV's onboard Wi-Fi hotspot. Meanwhile, a comprehensive suite of more than 16 standard safety and driver-assistance features helps ensure a secure drive. Other Elevation trim features include heated front seats, an HD digital driver display, and a heated steering wheel.
The range-topping Terrain Denali is one of the most luxurious trims in the segment. While ventilated front seats and dual-zone automatic climate control promote first-class cabin comfort, a Surround Vision Camera system enhances visibility in parking areas. Traffic sign recognition, a digital rearview mirror, heated rear seats, and a hands-free liftgate add to the Denali trim's upscale character.
