FAST FACTS
MotorDonkey's proprietary vehicle data identifies every significant version of each model so that you can compare and decide. Ordered by price from low to high, here are the versions of the 2024 GMC Terrain that you need to be aware of, along with our expert analysis and recommendations.
Although the Terrain is fundamentally just a rebadged Chevy Equinox, it does have one notable trick up its sleeve: The automatic transmission is a 9-speed unit, whereas the Equinox makes do with a 6-speed. So you theoretically get a significant upgrade in return for paying GMC's slightly higher prices. It may only be a theory, though, because in practice, the Equinox tops out at 30 mpg highway with the lesser transmission, while the Terrain gets 29 mpg.
Adding AWD costs you one mile per gallon, which seems reasonable for the extra peace of mind.
