About this generation

On January 8, 2017, the second-generation GMC Terrain was unveiled at the 2017 North American International Auto Show as a 2018 model. The second generation went on sale in Summer 2017 and was available with three turbocharged four-cylinder engine choices, including a diesel option. The headlamps and taillamps now featured LED lighting accents on all trims, and the top-of-the-line GMC Terrain Denali was initially only available with the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, which included dual chrome exhaust tips and larger front brakes.

All models now featured tempered front door glass and rear solid disc brakes. With this generation, the interior is quite different from the contemporary Chevrolet Equinox, with all models featuring a folding front passenger seat to accommodate items up to eight feet long, a class-exclusive switch-based transmission shifter, under-console pass-through storage area, a storage compartment above the glove box, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.

Standard technology features included a larger Driver Information Center screen, seven-inch touch-screen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability, four USB ports (including one Type-C port), keyless open and start (including passive entry on all doors), drive mode selection system, active grille shutters, second-row HVAC, electronic parking brake, and rear-seat reminder. SLE and SLT diesel models received more standard features than their gasoline-powered counterparts.

* 2019 * New "blacked-out" appearance packages were introduced. The Dark Accent Package for SLT models features a black-painted grille, mirror caps, rear license plate appliqué, and fascia inserts. A new Terrain Black Edition package was introduced as an option on the SLE and SLT trims (except diesel). It features blacked-out 19" gloss aluminum wheels, front grille, roof side rails, exterior accents, mirror caps, and exterior badging.

* Several new technology features became available, including adaptive cruise control, front pedestrian braking, and higher-resolution backup and 360-degree cameras. Wireless charging is now standard on the Denali trim, and all SLE models now feature a 4.2-inch color LCD driver information screen. The Cargo Package no longer includes an integrated cargo liner. * 2020 * The diesel engine option has been discontinued, and the 2.0-liter engine is no longer available on the SLE trim.

* Road safety features, such as automatic emergency braking, forward collision alert, lane-centering, lane-departure warning, front pedestrian braking, and following-distance sensing systems, as well as automatic high-beam headlamps, are now standard on all Terrain models. * Denali models now have upgraded shocks and struts with an internal valve, as well as front parking sensors in addition to rear parking sensors.

* The Black Edition package has been renamed to Elevation Edition. * 2021 * Due to low demand, the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine has been discontinued, making the 1.5-liter engine the sole engine option for the Terrain. As a result, the Denali trim was not available to order until May 2021. * The trailering package and trailer hitch, which were only available with the 2.0-liter engine, have been discontinued.

* The chrome package for SLT models has been discontinued. * A cold air grille shutter, which employs temperature-sensitive springs to limit water accumulation during engine warmup in cold weather, is included with the optional engine block heater. The refreshed version of the GMC Terrain debuted at the 2020 Chicago Auto Show in February 2020. It was initially planned to go on sale in mid-2020 for the 2021 model year, but production issues and the COVID-19 recession led General Motors to cancel the GMC Terrain facelift in March 2020.

GM had also planned to offer the 2.0-liter turbocharged LSY engine in the Terrain, but that never came to pass.
