Features We Love

There were not many noticeable changes between the 2022 and 2023 Terrain. GMC mainly made a few small updates under the hood like a slight horsepower bump and updated braking system, but from a family perspective, the size, second row, cargo space, and overall functionality stayed basically the same.

Car Seat Setup

The 2023 GMC Terrain has two full LATCH positions in the outboard second-row seats, and both also include top tether anchors. The middle seat does not have lower anchors, but it does include a top tether anchor for forward-facing installs using the seat belt method.

One thing to note is that the outboard headrests are non-removable, which may affect how certain forward-facing car seats fit flush against the seatback.
