Which GMC Terrain trim should I buy?

The 2022 GMC Terrain offers these trims:

• SLE: The value-focused choice with standard front-wheel drive and the GMC Pro Safety Package; a smart pick if you want the most affordable path into the Terrain.
• SLT: Adds a more upscale feel and keeps front-wheel drive standard, with available all-wheel drive for buyers who want extra traction.
• AT4: Brings the bolder grille, black 17-inch alloy wheels, sport-terrain tires, a steel front skid plate, standard all-wheel drive, and off-road mode with Hill Descent Control.

What GMC Terrain do most buyers choose?

The GMC Terrain years with the most listings are 2023, 2025, and 2024.

These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you more inventory to compare, which can make it easier to find the right price, mileage, and equipment mix. They also often represent the sweet spot between newer features and broader used-market availability.

What is the GMC Terrain's resale value?

Most Terrain model years are down year over year, and several older examples show double-digit declines. That pattern is helpful if you’re shopping used, because it suggests you can step into a Terrain at a lower price than a year ago in many cases. The smaller drops on the newest model years show that recent Terrains are softening too, but at a slower pace than some older ones.

The 2023 model year is holding steady, with prices close to flat year-over-year.

The 2023, 2024, and 2017 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Is the GMC Terrain safe?

• 2022: 7/10
• 2018: 5/10

The 2022 GMC Terrain includes the GMC Pro Safety Package as standard equipment, and the tested AT4 also adds the GMC Pro Safety Plus Package.

For the safest used buy, the 2022 model posts the highest confirmed score of 7/10.

Should I buy a used GMC Terrain now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2026 model is at −19.99% versus a year ago, and the 2025 model is at −8.4%.
• Deal availability: The 2026 model has 51.2% good and great deals, and the 2025 model has 43.7%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2023 model has the most listings at a current average price of $23,701. The GMC Terrain offers a roomy cabin and a comfortable, easygoing driving character that make it a practical everyday SUV.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: Every 2022 GMC Terrain has a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine making 170 horsepower and 203 pound-feet of torque, and the 1.5-liter can handle a trailer weighing up to 1,500 pounds.
• Tech: GMC offers Terrain buyers two different infotainment systems, with a 7-inch touchscreen display on SLE trim and a high-definition 8-inch touchscreen on SLT, AT4, and Denali trims; both systems offer Bluetooth smartphone connectivity, newly wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM satellite radio, and GMC Connected Services through OnStar, including access to a Wi-Fi hotspot.
• Safety: Every 2022 GMC Terrain has a GMC Pro Safety Package as standard equipment, and the GMC Pro Safety Plus Package adds adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, a lane-change assist function, rear parking sensors, and a Safety Alert Seat.
• Starting price: GMC loaded the 2022 Terrain AT4 up to an MSRP of $41,810, including the destination charge.

If you're buying used today, the 2023 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
