The Tech Features of the 2025 GMC Terrain

Tech can turn a good SUV into a great one, and the 2025 GMC Terrain delivers on all fronts. From seamless media access and smart device integration to built-in charging and mobile hotspot support, this compact SUV is equipped with features that enhance convenience and connectivity. Whether you’re driving across town or across the state, the Terrain keeps you connected and in control. Inside and out, there is a lot to love about this vehicle—and if you’re considering looking at a 2025 GMC Terrain for sale, here’s a closer look at the standout tech features that make it such a great SUV.

Efficiency and Comfort

Key Features: 

• Automatic Start/Stop
• Active Noise Cancellation
• LED Lighting & Heated Mirrors

At the top, the 2025 Terrain includes useful features for helping with fuel economy, like the automatic stop/start functionality. This feature automatically shuts off the engine to conserve fuel when at a complete stop while the brake pedal is depressed. The engine will automatically come back on once the driver’s foot is removed from the brake pedal. However, this feature is situational, and under circumstances where the engine needs to stay on, it will. So it’s smart technology to help improve your drivability and fuel conservation.

Active noise cancellation is another neat piece of technology that adds a lot of value to the Terrain’s presence and convenience. This feature works hand-in-hand with the in-cabin microphones to dampen vibrations and keep outside road noise from intruding, creating a calm, upscale atmosphere inside. Being able to concentrate on the drive and not have to worry about road noise distracting you is a big benefit for drivers; you’ll have a relaxed and quiet atmosphere inside the 2025 Terrain, giving it that luxury-comfort feel that GMC vehicles are known for.

Accompanying the full LED lighting array (which consists of headlamps, taillamps, and the available LED fog lamps), there are also heated power outside mirrors. These help with visibility in your blind spots and can work when you activate the rear defogger, clearing themselves of frost, ice, or snow that can cake up over time; this works in conjunction with the heated grids on the windshield to ensure that you have visibility during freezing temperatures thanks to the automatic defrosting. The power adjustment for the outside mirrors also enables you to use in-cabin controls to move these mirrors, which is perfect when you need to tune your visibility during rainstorms or when it’s blistering cold outside.

Convenience and Security

Key Features:

• Programmable Power Liftgate
• Remote Start
• Driver Memory 
• OnStar & Remote Security

Getting in and getting out of a vehicle should be fast and easy, and this is oftentimes accomplished via remote access. The 2025 Terrain makes sure that drivers have easy ways of not only getting into and out of the Terrain but also accessing cargo. The available programmable AutoSense power liftgate enables you to quickly reach the rear cargo area just by having the key fob on you. You can program the gate in terms of how it opens based on your preferences. You can also remotely open or lock the doors, as well as start the vehicle or turn it off, so long as the vehicle is in park. With remote start, you can warm up or cool down the cabin before you even open the door, which is perfect for moderating the cabin’s temperature for both harsh winter mornings and hot summer afternoons.

With added features like the availability of two memory settings for the driver’s seat, you can get it positioned the way you want, have your posture saved, and then have the vehicle ready for you to sit ideally when you approach. It’s a great way to save time and streamline comfort levels. Additionally, thanks to the OnStar services and built-in features like the remote panic alarm, you can always locate the vehicle remotely or activate the panic alarm remotely to help locate the vehicle, tying all of the remote accessibility into a package that makes the 2025 Terrain not only more convenient but more secure.

There is also the universal home remote with remote garage door opening. This remote provides you with three programmable channels, as well as connecting it to multiple systems both inside the vehicle and at your home. You can connect the universal home remote to work with your home’s automated devices as well as tie into your security system; this way you can use it to enable or disable security services remotely whether you’re inside or out of the Terrain.

Media and Connectivity

Key Features:

• 11-inch Driver Display
• 15-inch Touchscreen (New for 2025)
• Smartphone Integration
• Wi-Fi Hotspot Connectivity

There are two screens in the 2025 GMC Terrain. First is the 11-inch digital information center for the driver, providing you with a customizable display and profiles for accessing and displaying vehicle health, telemetry, media, and travel information. It makes accessing and monitoring vehicle information quick and easy, especially since its steering wheel controls allow you to access not only some in-cabin features but also some infotainment settings.

The second display is a large 15-inch touchscreen, which is new for 2025. This large display enables you to access the vehicle’s cameras, connectivity, media, and so on, using either the touchscreen controls or the tactile buttons. You can conveniently pair your smartphone to the 2025 Terrain using Bluetooth, or you can stream from your phone through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Google Built-In also nets you a lot of other services and novelties that many drivers will find useful.

For instance, you get features like Google Assistant, which grants you access to hands-free phone calls and text messaging, as well as navigation support, thanks to Google Maps. If you want access to additional apps, including media, streaming, or support, you can use the Google Play store to access whatever you need. OnStar’s Connected Services enable you to stay connected wherever you go, and a Wi-Fi hotspot can help you access network features on the go.

Devices and Climate

Key Features:

• Qi-Wireless Charging Pad
• USB Charging Ports
• Automatic Climate Control & Humidity Sensors

Keeping your devices charged is simple, thanks to multiple charging options. Thankfully, the Terrain comes with multiple USB ports as well as a Qi-compatible wireless charging pad, so you can charge your smartphone without having to plug it in. The center console’s charging pad has visual icons indicating when the phone is actively charging. However, if you need to charge multiple devices at a time, you have two additional USB ports, including a USB Type-A port and a USB Type-C port, which is excellent for phones, tablets, and gaming devices.

Whether you’re commuting through muggy summers or navigating a snowy school run, dual-zone automatic climate control ensures everyone is comfortable without fiddling with knobs. The 2025 Terrain also comes with a humidity sensor, which ties into the functionality of the automatic climate control. How it works is that the humidity sensor continually monitors the temperature and humidity inside the vehicle and then adjusts the airflow to work in concert with the climate settings. You can alter the climate settings using the touchscreen, pick your preferences, and then let the vehicle monitor and modulate the cabin to fit them.
