The Top 6 Available Features of the 2026 GMC Terrain

Do you plan on checking out the latest GMC Terrain for sale? This fun, stylish, and flexible compact SUV draws a variety of drivers to our dealership, as everyone from commuters to parents to retirees loves what it has to offer. 

One reason the Terrain has such broad appeal is that it’s so easy to customize it to fit your unique lifestyle. In addition to its three distinct trims for 2026 (the refined and affordable Elevation, the daring and off-road-ready AT4, and the lush and luxurious Denali), the Terrain also has several available features and upgrades. 

Not surprisingly, those who love a vehicle tailored to their needs will regularly look to the Terrain. We at Snell Buick GMC are always here to assist drivers in selecting and customizing their next ride to complement their routine travels. So today, we’re going to review six of our favorite available features and customization options for the 2026 GMC Terrain. 

Panoramic Sunroof

From professionals with long daily commutes who don’t want to feel claustrophobic to road-trippers who want to better experience their destinations, tons of drivers love the Terrain’s panoramic sunroof. It has panels that you can partially or fully open, allowing in fresh air and light, so when you’re stuck having to go to work on a perfect summer day, jealous that your friends are enjoying the nice weather at the park or beach, you can at least soak up a bit of it on your drive. 

When you’re road-tripping through a gorgeous national park or vibrant city, and you want to observe the sights before you even park, you can see it all the better through the sunroof. It can also save you a bit of power on your air conditioning because it allows for fresh, natural air to come in; thus, you can give your vents a break in favor of a free breeze, helping your vehicle save some energy. When it’s safe to do so, one adventurous passenger even has the option to raise their hands and feel the wind across their fingertips. 

When you find that the sun is coming in too hot or the breeze too strong, this roof has a shade that you can pull over it for a cooler, darker cabin. That should come in handy when rear passengers complain the sun’s glare is interfering with their ability to watch a movie on their tablet.

Wireless Charging

Today, we’re all pretty reliant on our smartphones, and finding that they’ve unexpectedly died can put a damper on our day. We use these devices to communicate with friends, family, and colleagues, look up directions, check weather reports, stream videos, music, and podcasts, get news reports, set reminders, and the list goes on. These little devices have some serious stature in our lives, and we can’t afford for them to run out of juice. 

Luckily, the 2026 GMC Terrain has an available wireless charging pad, which means that, when you forget your USB cord at home, you can still power up your devices in your vehicle. We know that road-trippers who regularly explore new and remote destinations particularly appreciate the wireless charging pad. When your journeys take you far off the beaten path, you can be a long way away from any wall outlet if your phone dies, and you’ll appreciate being able to bring it back to life to help you find your way back to civilization.

The Black Edition 

We mentioned customization options earlier, and that extends to style. Drivers who like the 2026 Terrain Elevation’s practical perks but also appreciate sleek, head-turning aesthetics will like the Black Edition. It adds city-ready looks to your Terrain with 19-inch gloss-black aluminum wheels, a darkened grille, and a C-shaped surrounding bezel. The mirror caps, roof side rails, and exterior accents will be black, too. Red badge lettering adds a bold and striking finishing touch to this special edition. 

AWD w/ Hill Descent Control

Do you plan on capitalizing on the Terrain’s promise to tackle tons of off-road environments? You’ll love the available AWD with Hill Descent Control. With AWD, you’ll be ready to explore a variety of areas, like dirt trails and muddy paths, and the addition of Hill Descent Control gives you even more command on steep slopes. 

Hill Descent Control helps you maintain a safe speed and solid command on significant downhill grades. It takes over braking to ensure you don’t have to pour so much focus into moderating your gravity-assisted acceleration. When you go off-roading in new places, hilly terrain can take you by surprise, so it’s nice to know that your SUV will prevent things from getting out of hand.

Rear Camera Mirror

Monitoring the rear of our vehicles is always tough. If you live in a particularly busy area, you never know when a pedestrian will run behind your vehicle as you’re backing up or another vehicle will reverse out of its parking spot just as you were reversing out of yours. Moving in reverse is one of the trickiest and riskiest of maneuvers, which is why we like the available rear camera mirror on the 2026 Terrain.

This feature turns your rearview mirror into an additional display for your rearview camera, so you can get a clear view of what’s happening behind your vehicle, even when tall rear-seat passengers or piles of cargo are obstructing your view. You always have the option to switch it back to its regular mirror function when you want to, such as for seeing what your kids are up to in the backseat.

AutoSense Liftgate

Do you often haul loads without a helper? You’ll want the AutoSense liftgate. When your Terrain is equipped with this feature, all you need to do is approach the trunk with your key fob on your person, and the liftgate will open automatically. So when you’ve got your arms full with bags of groceries and a cup of coffee balancing on your palm, you don’t need to put it all down to open your trunk. Just approach the trunk, and it will open for you.
