How much does the 2023 GMC Terrain cost?

Prices have held steady compared to this time last year, signaling a stable and predictable market for this model year.

There are 5,437 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2023 GMC Terrain a good car?

Yes — the 5/5 user rating points to strong owner satisfaction for this model year. The 2023 Terrain stands out as a compact SUV that leans more premium than many rivals, with a roomy cabin, a comfortable ride, and a useful set of standard safety and driver-assistance features. That makes it a good fit if you want a small SUV that feels well equipped and easy to live with, especially for family use. With 34.9% of listings marked as good or great deals, you still have room to shop selectively.

Is the 2023 GMC Terrain reliable?

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

The 2023 Terrain’s appeal centers on comfort, a roomy cabin, and a broad set of standard safety and driver-assistance features, including adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, and automatic emergency braking. It also includes Teen Driver technology, which can be useful if you share the vehicle with newer drivers. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that you should make sure the specific vehicle has been well maintained and checked carefully, since condition matters more than the model’s broad comfort-and-safety strengths.

What should I look for when buying a used 2023 GMC Terrain?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 88.1% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still review the history report carefully and confirm there are no hidden accident or title issues. Put the inspection priority on overall condition, especially signs of wear that could affect comfort, electronics, or safety systems. Focus on how the cabin, ride quality, and driver-assistance features present in real-world use, since those are central to the Terrain’s value proposition.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2023 GMC Terrain?

This is a moderate buyer’s market, so you can be selective without expecting deep discounts on every listing.

• Deal availability: 34.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 5,437 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have held steady compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 88.1% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $23,120, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2023 GMC Terrain's resale value?

The current average of $24,175 sits slightly below last year's $24,262.

That small decline suggests the market has been fairly stable, which is helpful if you plan to sell later because it points to predictable pricing rather than sharp swings. A steady price trend can make it easier to estimate your future trade-in or private-sale value. The Terrain’s broad appeal as a comfortable, well-equipped compact SUV should help keep buyer interest consistent.

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

Should I buy a 2023 GMC Terrain or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2023 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2023 if:

• 34.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 88.1% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have held steady compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $21,692, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $24,175 average.
• It adds a rugged AT4 look with standard all-wheel drive.

The bottom line: If you want the better-balanced shopping experience, the 2023 is the stronger primary choice because pricing is stable, inventory is healthy, and owner satisfaction is high. If your top priority is spending less, the 2022 is the better secondary path, especially if you like its more rugged positioning and can accept the tradeoffs that come with it.
