The GMC Terrain is a compact SUV with plenty of great features, no matter which trim package you choose. There are just three options to choose from for the 2027 model year. Unlike some other GMC models that can almost double in price from the base package to the highest level of luxury, all three GMC Terrain trim levels are relatively close in price. However, they do vary in the amount of technology and interior features they provide. There's also a major difference in drivetrain options among the package options. Explore what you need to know about the 2027 GMC Terrain to choose the right features and upgrades.
Elevation
The Elevation trim level is the base package, but it's still got plenty going for it. If choosing a specific drivetrain is essential to you, you'll need to stick with this package because it's the only one in 2027 that offers both all wheel and front wheel drive options. All other trim levels are all wheel drive only. Sticking with the front wheel drivetrain will provide the best fuel efficiency possible, which is why the Elevation is still one of the most popular packages for this model. Drive mode selector gives you more control over the balance of traction and performance.
This compact SUV comes complete with features that are only upgrades on other models, including a 15-inch Premium GMC Infotainment screen. That's in conjunction with the 11-inch digital Driver Information Center. Winter drivers will appreciate the standard heated front seat and steering wheel. Optional upgrades include a Black Edition package that adds 19" black wheels, with a grille and exterior accents to match. Or you can add HD Surround Vision to warn you of potential obstacles and optional Traffic Sign Recognition and related alerts.
AT4
Featuring the same 1.5-liter turbocharged engine as the other two trim levels, the AT4 features other upgrades that make it the best choice for adventurous off-roading. It's available only with all-wheel drive, paired with an AutoSense Power Liftgate for loading with full arms and a trailering package for towing up to 1,400 lbs. Roof-mounted side rails help you expand its cargo hauling capacity to exterior as needed on long trips. Wireless phone charging lets you focus on what's important rather than remembering to plug in every time you climb in. If you choose one of the two-tone color options, you can upgrade to a stylish Ebony Twilight Metallic roof for a more distinctive look. Advanced safety features like Forward Collision Alert and Blind Zone Steering Assist are all standard in this trim level.
Denali
At the high end of luxury, the Denali option represents the uppermost trim package for the GMC Terrain. It features animated head lamps and tail lamps, adding a custom touch you won't find in the other levels. The driver's seat is ventilated to keep you cool in the summer, while the rear seats feature heating so that all the passengers can stay toasty in the winter. The signature Galvano chrome styling and optional 20-inch After Midnight machined-face aluminum wheels turn heads when you roll by, while the extra large infotainment screen controls all of the essential systems for the vehicle. HD Surround Vision is a standard feature in this trim level, along with all of the latest driver safety features. There's even a washer and wiper for the rear camera, ensuring that dust accumulation won't interfere with your view. Consider upgrading to the available panoramic sun roof if you'd like a top-down driving experience without having to insure a convertible. For those drivers who find the other trim packages just not polished enough, the Denali is the perfect fit for luxury at an affordable price.
