2024 GMC Terrain

Mount Everest is growing, but it’ll be in the neighborhood of 29,030 feet for the rest of our lifetimes. For 2024, GMC’s Terrain will change, too, but at a pace similar to the Himalayan. While Everest will add about 4 millimeters of height this year, the Terrain adds two new colors (Riptide Metallic and Downpour Metallic — a bright, cheery blue and a brooding gray-blue, respectively) and wider availability of the Pro Safety Plus Package.

Performance
GMC offers the Terrain in four trim levels, all of which seat five: SLE, SLT, faux off-road AT4 and Denali. Front-wheel drive is standard on the SLE and SLT; all-wheel drive is a $1,600 option; and the AT4 and Denali are only available with AWD. Regardless of driven wheels, all Terrains are motivated by a 175-horsepower, turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine bolted to a nine-speed automatic transmission.

With FWD, the 2024 Terrain is EPA-rated 24/29/26 mpg city/highway/combined, while AWD models get 23/28/25 mpg.

Trim Levels
Standard equipment on the SLE includes keyless entry and start, cloth seats (manually adjustable in the front), automatic climate control, active noise cancellation, six speakers, a 7-inch infotainment system with Bluetooth, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, satellite radio and Wi-Fi. Outside, the SLE has 17-inch wheels and a black grille with chrome surround. GMC fits the Pro Safety Package to all Terrains; it includes lane departure steering assist and forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection.

The SLT adds an 8-inch touchscreen, leather upholstery, heated power front seats, a heated steering wheel, dual-zone climate control, remote start and ambient lighting. It also comes with 18-inch wheels, roof rails, mirrors with integrated turn signals, and chrome grille crossbars and surround.

The off-road-esque AT4 butches up with a front skid plate. It also includes more standard safety equipment: The Pro Safety Plus Package includes blind spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, rear parking sensors and the Safety Alert Seat, which vibrates the left, right or both sides of the bottom cushion to tell the driver where a threat is coming from. The AT4’s 17-inch wheels are painted black, and the grille crossbars and surround turn dark gray.

At the top of the line is the Denali, which rides on 19-inch wheels and a unique suspension tune. Inside, it includes navigation, a seven-speaker Bose audio system, head-up display and wireless charging. Outside, it gets a hexagonal honeycomb grille with chrome crossbars and surround, chrome door handle surrounds, body-color lower trim, and front and rear parking sensors.
