The 2026 GMC Terrain holds its own against compact SUV rivals with standout strengths. It delivers 175 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque with a large 14.9-gallon fuel tank for extended range. A key advantage: the Terrain includes Automatic Transmission with Manual Mode as a standard feature-the Chevrolet Equinox offers it only as an optional add-on, while the Honda CR-V doesn't offer it at all. This gives you more control and flexibility for varied driving situations. The Terrain also offers the new adventure-ready AT4 and luxury-focused Denali trims, catering to diverse lifestyles. Combined with available all-wheel drive, Hill Descent Control, and modern safety tech, the Terrain balances capability, comfort, and control effectively.
