The 2026 GMC Terrain is powered by a turbocharged 1.5L four-cylinder engine that produces 175 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque. That torque-rich setup is the real advantage: it delivers quick, confident acceleration and responsive feel whether you're navigating city streets or cruising the highway.

Paired with a smooth-shifting automatic transmission and available all-wheel drive with Hill Descent Control and a Drive Mode Selector, the Terrain offers versatility for various driving conditions. The suspension is fine-tuned for comfort and stability, and the tight 37.1-foot turning diameter makes it easy to maneuver in urban settings.

GMC also includes standard Adaptive Cruise Control-a feature that keeps the driving experience both capable and composed. Ready to test-drive the Terrain? Contact Markquart Motors at (715) 833-0444 or check our inventory.
