How much does the 2022 GMC Terrain cost?

Prices have softened 6.48% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 3,215 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2022 GMC Terrain a good car?

Yes — with a 4.83/5 user rating and an expert rating of 6.67/10, the 2022 GMC Terrain lands as a likeable used SUV for shoppers who value comfort and everyday ease.

The standout strength is Form and function at 9/10.

Drivers consistently praise its comfortable ride, smooth driving experience, and wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. The user feedback also points to strong safety features and confidence in snowy conditions, especially with all-wheel drive.

The trade-offs are clear: the Terrain is described as sluggish, its interior materials are said to feel cheap, and it is judged to be poor value for money. The overview frames it as a compact crossover that works best as an easy-to-live-with daily driver rather than a standout for performance or luxury.

Even so, 32.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so you can still find attractive examples if you shop carefully.

Is the 2022 GMC Terrain reliable?

Owners rate it 4.83/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The user feedback points to a vehicle that feels comfortable, smooth, and confidence-inspiring in snowy conditions, which are all traits that usually matter in long-term ownership. The review summary also suggests drivers appreciate how well it handles day-to-day use and how dependable its safety and all-wheel-drive behavior feel in real-world driving.

The expert evaluation adds that the Terrain’s powertrain is easy enough to live with once you stay in its torque band, and the transmission does a decent job of keeping the SUV in the right range once it’s moving. The review also notes that the Terrain’s fuel economy is respectable for the class.

If you buy used, your biggest long-term risk is more about satisfaction than durability: the Terrain’s sluggish acceleration, cheap-feeling cabin, and value concerns may wear on you over time if you expect more refinement.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 GMC Terrain?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 83.8% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a history report on any candidate, because accident-free status is only a starting point. Prioritize a close inspection of the cabin, controls, and technology, since the Terrain’s interior quality and usability are recurring talking points. It also makes sense to focus on how the vehicle drives in everyday conditions, especially if you want to judge whether the powertrain and ride quality match your expectations.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The SLE and SLT are more affordable and come with standard front-wheel drive, while AWD is optional. The AT4 adds a bolder grille, black 17-inch alloy wheels, sport-terrain tires, AT4 badges, and a steel skid plate, while the Denali adds a layer of luxury.
• Powertrain: Every 2022 Terrain uses a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine with 170 horsepower and 203 pound-feet of torque. The nine-speed automatic does a decent job once the SUV is rolling, but the engine has a delay off the line and the model no longer offers the more powerful turbocharged 2.0-liter.
• Safety package: Every Terrain includes GMC Pro Safety Package with forward-collision warning, pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, automatic high-beam headlights, and a following distance indicator. GMC Pro Safety Plus Package adds adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-change assist, rear parking sensors, and a Safety Alert Seat; it is standard on Denali and optional on SLE, SLT, and AT4.
• Infotainment: SLE gets a 7-inch touchscreen, while SLT, AT4, and Denali get an 8-inch high-definition touchscreen. Both systems include Bluetooth, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM, and OnStar-connected services with a Wi-Fi hotspot. With the larger screen, connected navigation and a Bose premium sound system are available.
• Fuel efficiency: The official EPA rating is 26 mpg, and the evaluation loop returned 26.2 mpg.

Which 2022 GMC Terrain trim should I buy?

The 2022 GMC Terrain is offered in 4 trim levels: SLE, SLT, AT4, Denali.

Here's the short version:

• SLE: This is the most affordable path into the Terrain, and it gives you the standard 7-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the full standard safety package. It makes the most sense if you want the Terrain’s core comfort and tech without paying for extras.
• SLT: This trim steps up to the larger 8-inch touchscreen and keeps the Terrain’s easy-to-use tech and available safety upgrades in play. It’s the best-value choice if you want a more polished feel without jumping all the way to the top of the range.
• AT4: This is the trim for shoppers drawn to the rugged look, with standard AWD, sport-terrain tires, a steel skid plate, and the bolder AT4 appearance. Just keep in mind that the testing summary says the off-road image overstates what it can actually do.
• Denali: This is the luxury-leaning choice, and it comes standard with the GMC Pro Safety Plus Package. Choose it if you want the most upscale version of the Terrain and are willing to pay for it.

The standard safety package is on every trim, while the Pro Safety Plus Package is standard on Denali and optional on SLE, SLT, and AT4.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 GMC Terrain?

This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you have room to shop, but the best examples still deserve quick attention.

• Deal availability: 32.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 3,215 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.48% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 83.8% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $21,990, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 GMC Terrain's resale value?

The current average of $22,031 sits slightly below last year's $23,557.

That decline suggests the Terrain has already moved through a meaningful portion of its depreciation curve, which can help future sellers if they buy at the right price. The current market is also showing a fairly defined range, so condition and equipment will matter when it comes time to resell.

Because the Terrain’s value proposition is mixed, resale strength will likely depend on how well your specific vehicle presents and how closely it matches what used buyers want. Lower-mileage, clean-history examples should be easier to move than rougher ones, especially if they have the features shoppers expect.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.83/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 GMC Terrain safe?

The 2022 Terrain earns mostly Good crash-test scores from IIHS, but it also receives a Marginal rating in the new side-impact test.

It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

Every 2022 Terrain comes with GMC Pro Safety Package, which includes forward-collision warning, pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, automatic high-beam headlights, and a following distance indicator. GMC Pro Safety Plus Package adds adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-change assist, rear parking sensors, and a Safety Alert Seat; it is standard on Denali and optional on SLE, SLT, and AT4.

The main caveat is that the IIHS side-impact result is weaker than the rest of the SUV’s crash-test performance. The organization also had not assessed headlight performance or the effectiveness of the standard safety package for Top Safety Pick status at the time of the review.

Should I buy a 2022 GMC Terrain or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

• 32.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 83.8% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.48% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.83/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2022 model year stands out for the new AT4 trim, which adds standard AWD, sport-terrain tires, and a steel skid plate, but the testing summary says that rugged image overstates its real off-road ability.

The bottom line: If you want the 2022 Terrain’s comfort, easy-to-use tech, and improved market pricing, this is the year to target. It makes the most sense for shoppers who value everyday usability over performance. If you’re especially price-sensitive, you can shop carefully for a well-kept example near the low end of the range and still get a solid feature set.
