With the groundhog calling for six more weeks of winter, Chicagoland drivers know what that really means: more lake-effect snow, black ice, and bone-chilling temps. Winters here are legendary for their unpredictability, and navigating I-57 or the South Suburbs takes more than just an average commute car.
That’s where the GMC Terrain comes in. Engineered for confidence, control, and premium comfort, this professional-grade SUV is built to handle Midwest winter conditions with ease—so you’re ready for whatever winter decides to throw your way next.
1. Confident Control with Intelligent AWD
One of the Terrain’s standout features for winter driving is its available All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) system. Unlike basic systems, this intelligent technology continuously monitors road conditions and automatically shifts power between the front and rear wheels to maximize traction. Whether you’re navigating slushy neighborhood streets or icy intersections, the Terrain helps reduce the risk of slipping.

2. Traction Select System
The GMC Terrain allows you to adapt to the road with the turn of a dial. The Traction Select System includes a specific Snow Mode that:
- Optimizes throttle response.
- Adjusts traction control for better grip.
- Minimizes wheel spin on slick surfaces.
3. Winter Comfort: Heated Everything
Winter mornings in Matteson can be brutal. The Terrain’s interior acts as a sanctuary from the cold with:
- Available Remote Start: Warm up your engine and cabin from inside your house.
- Available Heated Front Seats & Steering Wheel: Stay cozy even when the thermometer drops below zero.
- Available Dual-Zone Climate Control: Keeps every passenger comfortable, no matter the weather outside.

4. Safety Tech for Snowy Visibility
Safety is paramount when visibility is low. The GMC Terrain comes equipped with GMC Pro Safety, a suite of driver-assistance technologies including:
- Forward Collision Alert & Automatic Emergency Braking: Critical for slippery stops.
- IntelliBeam Headlamps: Automatically adjust to cut through snow, fog, or early winter sunsets.
- Heated Side Mirrors: Prevents ice buildup so your line of sight stays clear

5. Ground Clearance and Performance
With an elevated stance, the Terrain clears snow drifts that leave sedans stranded. Its turbocharged engine is designed for consistent starts in sub-zero temperatures, ensuring that even on the coldest Chicago mornings, your vehicle is ready to perform.
