The 2026 GMC Terrain offers flexible transmission choices to match your driving style. With front-wheel drive, you get a continuously variable transmission (CVT) for smooth acceleration and efficiency. If you prefer all-wheel drive, an 8-speed automatic is available.

A standout feature: the Terrain includes an automatic transmission with manual mode as standard-giving you the ability to take direct control when you want it. This is a competitive advantage you won't find standard on the Honda CR-V or available on the base Chevrolet Equinox.
