Terrain Denali Caters to Luxury-Minded Buyers

For those seeking a touch of luxury, the Terrain Denali now offers heated front and rear seats, 19-inch wheels with an available 20-inch upgrade, and GMC's Smart Frequency dampers for enhanced ride comfort.

AT4 Black Appearance Package and Terrain Mode for Adventure Seekers

The AT4 trim, designed for adventure seekers, now features the AT4 Black Appearance package. This package adds an illuminated black GMC emblem and black nameplates for a bolder look. The Terrain AT4 also comes with an exclusive selectable Terrain mode, increased ground clearance, protective metal skidplate, red front recovery hooks, and 17-inch wheels wrapped in all-terrain tires.

Hummer EV SUV Updates and Bidirectional Charging Capability

The Hummer EV SUV has received several updates, including the standard inclusion of King Crab rear-steer drive mode.

The interior of the Hummer EV SUV now features a sharper 13.4-inch infotainment display, new entertainment options integrated with Google built-in software, and a slightly reduced driver display size.

Rankings and Paint Colour Updates

The 2026 GMC Terrain has been ranked #13 in compact SUVs, while the Acadia has taken the #2 spot in 3-row SUVs. The Acadia's paint palette has been updated, with Glacier White Tricoat replacing White Frost and Riverstone Metallic taking the place of Deep Bronze.

The Performance Upgrade package on AT4 now includes a sport pedal cover kit, and the Interior Protection package, once limited to Elevation and AT4, is now also available on AT4 Ultimate. Several appearance packages have been renamed and revised, including the Elevation Black package, AT4 Appearance package, Denali Ultimate Appearance package, and the former 25th Anniversary package becoming the Denali Sport Nightfall Edition.

Dropped Accessories
