2016 GMC Terrain

The GMC Terrain and its more luxurious version, the Terrain Denali, have been updated for the 2016 model year with minor styling changes and new equipment. 

Debuting at the New York Auto Show, the 2016 GMC Terrain features a series of exterior updates including new front and rear fascias with C-shaped lower chrome trim, new chrome-accented grille designs for SLE, SLT and Denali, a power dome hood, LED daytime running lamps on higher models, as well as new 18- and 19-inch aluminum wheel designs. Furthermore, the 2016 Terrain is now available with new White Frost Tricoat and Crimson Red Tintcoat exterior colors.

On the inside, the 2016 GMC Terrain gets a revised instrument panel center stack with new storage shelf and updated control graphics, new chrome-trimmed transmission shifter, as well as premium cloth seat fabric now standard on SL and SLE models. SLT models get an available Saddle Up leather interior and a front passenger eight-way power-adjustable seat, while Denali models get a new Light Titanium/Jet Black interior combination.

Equipment updates include the Side Blind Zone Alert and Rear Cross Traffic Alert driving assist systems, offered on SLE and SLT models for the first time. The 2016 GMC Terrain features a revised model lineup, consisting of SL, SLE (SLE-1 and SLE-2), SLT and Denali trim levels.

Nothing changes under the hood, with the SUV coming with a standard 182hp Ecotec 2.4-liter engine or an optional 301hp 3.6-liter V6 unit.

The 2016 Terrain goes on sale this fall, with pricing to be announced closer to its commercial debut. GMC says Terrain had its best year ever in 2014 with 105,016 sales, with the model also enjoying its best-ever January and February sales this year. Terrain is GMC’s second-best selling vehicle, after Sierra.
