What Are the Starting MSRPs for the 2027 GMC Terrain Elevation, AT4, and Denali Trims?

2027 GMC Terrain available at Legacy GMC of Waxahachie in Waxahachie, TX

The 2027 GMC Terrain lineup starts at an MSRP of $32,395 for the Elevation trim with front-wheel drive. The trail-ready AT4 starts at an MSRP of $41,095 with standard all-wheel drive, and the flagship Denali starts at an MSRP of $44,195, also with standard all-wheel drive.

Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for new vehicles includes manufacturer and distributor options and delivery, process and handling fees, which may be subject to change at any time. MSRP excludes taxes, title, license and dealer installed options, accessories, fees and charges. MSRP is not the dealer advertised price. Dealer price will vary. The dealer sets the final price.

Understanding how GMC structures the 2027 Terrain trim ladder helps narrow your choices before you visit the dealership. Rather than stacking every model in a straight line, GMC positions the AT4 and Denali as dual apex offerings sitting above the core Elevation. The Elevation is the feature-packed foundation for daily commuters, while the AT4 and Denali branch out to serve entirely different driving demands.

Stepping from the Elevation to the AT4 is an $8,700 MSRP difference, which brings standard all-wheel drive plus a full suite of factory off-road hardware. Moving from the AT4 to the Denali is a $3,100 MSRP step, shifting the focus from trail capability to interior comfort and high-tier camera visibility.

How Do Features and Equipment Differ Across the 2027 GMC Terrain Trim Levels?

The three 2027 Terrain trims separate on upholstery, exterior design, camera technology, and chassis hardware. The Elevation sets the standard for entry-level technology and comfort, the AT4 adds off-road mechanical equipment, and the Denali concentrates on cabin luxury and camera-based driver assistance.

EPA-estimated fuel economy figures are for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary depending on driving conditions, how you drive and maintain your vehicle, battery age/condition, and other factors.

Maximum towing and payload capacity figures are based on properly equipped vehicles and vary by configuration. Do not exceed any weight rating. See your owner’s manual and the vehicle’s door-jamb label for specific capacities.

Does All-Wheel Drive Cost Extra on the 2027 GMC Terrain?

All-wheel drive adds $2,000 to the Elevation, moving it from an MSRP of $32,395 with front-wheel drive to an MSRP of $34,395. All-wheel drive is standard equipment on the AT4 and Denali, so there is nothing to add there.

One change matters more than the price this year. Every 2027 Terrain now uses the same 1.5L Turbo engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, producing 175 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque regardless of trim or drivetrain. For 2026, front-wheel-drive models used a continuously variable transmission and made less torque. That transmission is gone for 2027, which means the front-wheel-drive Elevation now matches the all-wheel-drive models on output, and its maximum towing capacity rises to 1,500 lbs. Choosing front-wheel drive no longer costs you engine performance or trailer capability.

Beyond the drivetrain decision, factory packages shape the final window sticker:

  • Elevation Premium: adds brushed aluminum roof side rails, 19-inch Technical Gray machined-face aluminum wheels, CoreTec seating material, dual-zone automatic climate control, the AutoSense liftgate, and wireless smartphone charging.
  • Black Edition: gives the Elevation 19-inch gloss-black aluminum wheels, a darkened grille and C-shaped surrounding bezel, black mirror caps, black roof side rails, and black exterior accents and badging.
  • Technology Package II: available on the Elevation and AT4, adding HD Surround Vision, the Cabin Glance interior camera, the Rear Camera Mirror, Rear Pedestrian Alert, and Traffic Sign Recognition. The Elevation version of the package also adds front LED fog lamps, which are already standard equipment on the AT4.

Current factory and dealer offers can change the math on any of these configurations, so it is worth checking our new vehicle specials before you commit to a trim.

Which 2027 GMC Terrain Trim Best Fits Your Driving?

Choosing the right 2027 Terrain comes down to how you actually drive: suburban commuting, unpaved back roads, or upscale cabin appointments. The Elevation balances technology and value, the AT4 delivers genuine capability on rough surfaces, and the Denali builds out the luxury experience.

For drivers covering daily highway miles around Waxahachie, the Elevation with front-wheel drive is the efficiency play. Its EPA-estimated 28 highway MPG keeps routine fuel costs manageable, and standard heated front seats and a heated steering wheel make cold mornings easier.

For drivers in Midlothian and the surrounding area who regularly leave pavement, the AT4 earns its premium. The lifted ride height, steel underbody shield, and all-terrain tires are built for gravel and uneven terrain without putting the chassis at risk.

For buyers who spend long hours in the driver’s seat, the Denali’s ventilated front seats, heated rear outboard seats, and HD Surround Vision camera system change the daily experience more than any spec sheet suggests.

Common Questions About 2027 GMC Terrain Pricing, Features, and Trims

Does the 2027 GMC Terrain come standard with all-wheel drive on every trim?

No. The Elevation comes standard with front-wheel drive, with all-wheel drive available as a factory option for an additional $2,000 MSRP. The AT4 and Denali include all-wheel drive as standard equipment and are not offered with front-wheel drive.

What is the maximum towing capacity of the 2027 GMC Terrain?

When properly equipped with the available Trailering Package, every 2027 Terrain configuration is rated to tow up to 1,500 lbs. That covers a pop-up or teardrop camper, a single-axle utility trailer, two jet skis, or a light fishing boat. This is an increase for front-wheel-drive buyers, who were limited to 800 lbs for 2026 before the 8-speed automatic became standard across the lineup. The Trailering Package is standard on the AT4 and Denali and subject to availability on the Elevation, so confirm how a specific vehicle is equipped.

Maximum towing and payload capacity figures are based on properly equipped vehicles and vary by configuration. Do not exceed any weight rating. See your owner’s manual and the vehicle’s door-jamb label for specific capacities.

The 2027 Terrain offers 29.8 cubic feet of cargo volume behind the second row. Folding the 60/40 split-folding rear seats expands maximum cargo volume to 63.5 cubic feet, and a rear cargo underfloor storage compartment adds hidden space for smaller items.

Roadside Assistance is included for 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first. The program provides 24/7 support including towing to the nearest GMC dealer, flat-tire change, battery jump-start, emergency fuel delivery, and vehicle unlock service.

Can I get surround-view cameras on the Elevation trim?
