As a small SUV, the 2027 GMC Terrain manages to be both spirited and maneuverable. You may be surprised to learn that it’s also powerful and capable. Rick Weaver GMC shares the performance features that make it so fun to drive. 

Standard Features

There are three trim levels in the 2027 GMC Terrain – Elevation, AT4, and Denali. Each trim comes equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, which generates 175 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque. Each model also comes standard with an eight-speed automatic transmission and a MacPherson front suspension, which helps to deliver a smooth ride. 

Selectable Drive Modes

The Elevation trim level features front-wheel drive and is also offered with all-wheel drive, while the AT4 and Denali trims both come standard with all-wheel drive. The AWD system helps to enhance your traction on slick surfaces. Each trim features selectable drive modes, although the modes vary per trim: 

  • Elevation: Normal, Snow/Ice, Off-Road, All-Wheel Drive (AWD only), and Off-Road (AWD only) 
  • AT4: Normal, Snow/Ice, Off-Road, All-Wheel Drive, Tow/Haul, and Terrain 
  • Denali: Normal, Snow/Ice, Off-Road, All-Wheel Drive, and Tow/Haul 

Adventure-Ready AT4 Trim

There are enhanced capabilities in each of the AWD models, with features such as Hill Descent Control. The adventure-ready AT4 trim takes it up a notch with a front skid plate with a steel underbelly shield, which helps to protect your SUV off-road. It also features a lifted ride height, an off-road tuned suspension, and all-terrain tires.

2026 GMC Sierra 1500 vs GMC Canyon: Which Truck is Right for You?

There is so much to love about every truck in the GMC lineup. As a GMC Sierra dealer, we often have buyers ask if they should get the full-size truck or consider the midsize GMC Canyon. Rick Weaver GMC outlines each option. Power The 2026 GMC Canyon uses a TurboMax™ 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine to deliver up to 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque. The GMC Sierra 1500 also comes with the same robust engine. However, it’s available with three additional options if you want even more power: 5.3-liter V8 engine: 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque Duramax® 3.0-liter turbo-diesel engine: 305 horsepower and 495 lb-ft of torque 6.2-liter V8 engine: 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque Capabilities If you need serious towing power, the 2026 GMC Sierra 1500 is the better fit. With the available turbo-diesel engine, it can tow up to 13,300 lbs when properly equipped. The GMC Canyon also has a notable 7,700-lb max towing capacity. Size As a midsize truck, the 2026 GMC Canyon is quite a bit smaller than the full-size GMC Sierra 1500. While it's still powerful, its smaller size makes it more fuel-efficient. The midsize truck is also easier to maneuver and park. If you prioritize efficiency and agility, consider the GMC Canyon. Off-Road-Ready Both of these trucks are adept for off-road adventures. However, some drivers prefer a smaller size when they’re off-roading, because it can be easier to get through tight spots and trails. They also have a tighter turning radius and better angles. That could make the 2026 GMC Canyon a better fit for drivers who leave the road behind. Explore Our New GMC Trucks in Erie, PA Each of these GMC trucks are excellent options. You just have to decide what you need out of your next truck. Visit Rick Weaver GMC to explore both models and compare them with a test drive!
