What it is
The 2027 GMC Terrain FWD is a small sport utility vehicle with front-wheel drive. It runs on gasoline and uses a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
Its defining EPA figure is 26 MPG combined. That is the blended city-and-highway estimate for this front-drive Terrain.
The numbers
EPA rates the Terrain at 25 MPG in city driving and 28 MPG on the highway. The three-MPG gap shows how its estimate changes with driving conditions.
This is a gasoline vehicle, so its EPA efficiency is expressed in miles per gallon rather than electric range or MPGe.
What it costs to run
The EPA annual fuel-cost estimate is $2,600. That figure gives a yearly reference point for gasoline spending; your actual bill will vary with miles driven and fuel prices.
Tailpipe emissions are listed at 342 grams of carbon dioxide per mile.
How it compares
For side-by-side shopping, compare the Terrain's 26 combined MPG with other SUVs using the same EPA measure. Its 25 city and 28 highway figures show where it may differ for your route mix.
You can place it alongside other GMC cars or browse fuel-efficient SUVs by their EPA figures.
Who it suits
This Terrain fits a buyer who wants a gasoline SUV with front-wheel drive and an automatic transmission, while keeping an EPA annual fuel-cost figure in view.
Its city and highway estimates help when most of your driving falls clearly into one of those patterns.
Trade-offs
The 28-MPG highway estimate is higher than the 25-MPG city estimate, so frequent stop-and-go driving is reflected in the lower figure.
You get a gasoline powertrain and no EPA electric-range figure. The listed tailpipe output is 342 grams per mile.
Verdict
Choose the 2027 GMC Terrain FWD if a small SUV format, front-wheel drive, and a conventional gasoline engine match your needs.
Its EPA profile is straightforward: 26 MPG in combined use, with a $2,600 yearly fuel-cost estimate. Buyers should weigh that running-cost reference against how much city driving they do and whether another SUV's EPA figures fit their routes better.
