GMC Terrain 2025 Updates

The GMC Terrain 2025 brings a bold and tech-rich SUV experience to the UAE. With its refined design, smart safety tech, and strong off-road features, this SUV is ideal for both city drives and desert escapes. 

The Terrain is a 5-seater compact SUV designed for performance, luxury, and everyday comfort. Known for its safety features and unique trims, it fits well into the modern urban and outdoor lifestyle of the United Arab Emirates.

Price in UAE

The GMC Terrain price in UAE starts at AED 105,800 for the SLE 1.5L variant. The mid-range AT4 1.5 L is priced at AED 127,200, while the high-end Denali 1.5T costs AED 155,100.

Variants

The GMC Terrain variants available in the UAE include three key trims: Elevation, AT4, and Denali. The Elevation serves as the entry-level variant with stylish touches, while the AT4 is built for adventure with rugged upgrades. The Denali, on the other hand, is packed with luxury features and advanced technology, designed for buyers seeking a high-end SUV experience.

Engine and Performance

The GMC Terrain engine lineup in the UAE includes a 1.5-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. It produces 175 horsepower and 203 lb-ft (275.23 Nm) of torque. The 2025 model now uses an 8-speed automatic gearbox instead of the previous 9-speed. 

While AWD and FWD options are offered, the front-wheel-drive models use a CVT and have slightly lower torque delivery. This setup provides a smooth, capable drive for both city roads and rough terrain.

Safety

The GMC Terrain 2025 comes packed with safety tech for UAE drivers. Key features include blind-zone steering assist, intersection emergency braking, and rear cross-traffic braking. It also has pedestrian and cyclist detection, lane keep assist, and reverse automatic braking. These systems are standard across all trims, offering solid peace of mind for families and daily commuters.

Features and Specifications

The GMC Terrain features include heated seats, wireless Apple CarPlay, a 5G Wi-Fi hotspot, and a 15-inch touchscreen. The GMC Terrain specifications list also highlights AWD capability, 680 kg towing capacity, and hill descent control on AT4 and Denali trims. This SUV is reliable for UAE conditions, with enough tech and power for long drives, family use, and weekend adventures.

The GMC Terrain interior is a highlight in the 2025 model. It features a large 15-inch vertical touchscreen, an 11-inch digital cluster, Google built-in, and a 5G Wi-Fi hotspot. Heated seats and a steering wheel are standard, as is adaptive cruise control. The gear shifter remains column-mounted for extra cabin space.

The GMC Terrain exterior for 2025 sees a sharp redesign. It includes bold LED headlamps and taillamps, dark gloss trims (optional), and 17-inch machined wheels on the Elevation trim. The AT4 version adds exclusive off-road styling and TerrainAT4 technology, making it stand out in both city and rugged landscapes. The new design keeps GMC’s signature premium look with added athletic touches.

Why Choose the GMC Terrain?

The GMC Terrain 2025 is perfect for UAE drivers who want a smart mix of comfort, off-road strength, and advanced tech. Its trims cover different needs—from stylish city driving in the Elevation to rugged desert trails with the AT4, and luxury cruising with the Denali. Its wide suite of safety tools and modern cabin make it ideal for family buyers and daily use across UAE roads.

Engine & Fuel Consumption

Engine, mileage and variants:

The compact SUV comes in five exclusive variants which are – the SLE -1 variant, SLE –2 variant, SLT -1, SLT -2 and Terrain Denali variant. The power-pumping technology sitting under the bonnet of the SLT -1, SLT -2 and Denali variant is a 3.6 litre V6, direct injection engine with VVT (Variable Valve Timing) which burns fuel efficiently to give you a maximum power output of 301hp at 6500 rpm and a maximum torque output of 369Nm at 4800 rpm. This well-cultivated engine is meshed with a 6-speed automatic transmission, which offers a butter-smooth operation and collectively with the engine fetches the car an ability to attain a speed of 100 kmph from stand-still in just 6.8 sec. The car also pleases you with a fairly decent fuel economy of 10 kmpl for the highways.

The car also features the security assurance by the Theft-Deterrent System, which includes Pass-Key III.
