The upcoming 2023 GMC Terrain will follow the Chevy Equinox model in terms of upgrades. The GM twins were supposed to be introduced sooner, but the COVID-19 epidemic prompted the company to delay the debut. And the big unveiling was almost here. Designers can now work on the 2023 Terrain in more detail.
We’ve learned a lot about Terrain since Equinox came out right before the pandemic. So, the Terrain will get some major improvements as well. Changes to both the exterior and interior will be made. But we don’t know if anything will change under the hood. The sales will begin next year and here’s everything you need to know.
2023 Terrain Changes
Table of Contents
The 2023 GMC Terrain is coming to the markets, but the fans will have to wait until the next year. The 2023MY will be inspired by the new Yukon. The front fascia shares the most similarities. However, even the back of Terrain’s big brother will have a great impact on this smaller model. The crossover’s new hues will undoubtedly attract more attention.
New features and extra luxuries were added to the cabin design. The 2023 Terrain comes with a start/stop and a larger HUD display. It’s a bummer that fans must wait until the crossover to see how some of the new features will work. Anyway, significant updates are on the way and we are waiting for more details.
Trim Levels
The forthcoming 2023 GMC Terrain will also have a new trim level lineup. We already know about the AT4 off-road model. With an extra year to deliver all of the updates, fans should expect even greater progress. Trim levels such as SL, SLT, and Denali will be on offer once again. Further upgrades will allow buyers to raise the parts they need the most.
The SL includes Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Moreover, the 17-inch wheels will remain. The SLT has a leather interior, heated seats, and wireless charging. An 8-inch infotainment screen is standard, but GM will probably deliver a new optional display. Some reports are writing about the new trim level, that should slot between the SL and SLT variants. As before, the Denali trim is full of luxury, but it also costs significantly more.
Powertrain Options
Many reports confirmed the 2023 GMC Terrain with the same 2.0-liter turbocharged powertrain option. This engine is producing up to 252 horsepower. Engineers may lower outputs and make this device standard, reports say. Nonetheless, most small crossovers have around 190 hp. Previously, the same output only drove all four wheels. Sure, the base model will be FWD.
Interestingly, but GM hasn’t confirmed a 1.5-liter turbo-four engine yet. With 170 hp and 30 mpg on the highway, this one is hard to beat. The market is moving towards hybrids. The Honda CR-V, Ford Escape, and Toyota RAV4 all get above 40 miles per gallon. Some of these manufacturers will soon upgrade their PHEV models. Sadly, no rumors exist about the GMC Terrain Hybrid.
Release Date 2023 GMC Terrain
The next 2023 GMC Terrain will have a base price of around $27,000 with the destination fee. The Denali model, on the other hand, costs over $40,000. The AT4 trim level depends on the features loaded. Experts estimate the AT4 off-road trim level to be around $35k. The new model will hit the dealerships next summer.
