Used 2022 GMC Terrain for SaleNationwide

How much does the 2022 GMC Terrain cost?

Prices have softened 13.63% compared to this time last year, making it a favourable time to shop this model year.

There are 372 listings available, which suggests you should have a reasonable amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2022 GMC Terrain a good car?

Yes — the 2022 GMC Terrain earns a 4.83/5 user rating and a 6.67/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Form and function at 9/10.

Drivers consistently praise its comfort, smooth driving experience, and how well it handles in snowy conditions, especially with all-wheel drive. The easy-to-use technology and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto also come through as recurring positives.

The trade-offs are clear: the expert review calls out sluggish performance and poor value for money, while also noting cheap-feeling interior materials. For you, that means the Terrain makes the most sense if you want a relaxed, practical compact SUV rather than something sporty or especially upscale.

With 29.3% of listings marked as good or great deals, there is still some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2022 GMC Terrain reliable?

Owners rate it 4.83/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

User feedback points to a dependable, trouble-free ownership experience, with drivers especially appreciating the Terrain’s comfort and confidence in snowy conditions. The expert review also describes the safety systems as working effectively and subtly, which supports the sense that the vehicle is easy to live with day to day.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is less about outright durability and more about whether the Terrain’s value, materials, and convenience features will meet your expectations over time.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 GMC Terrain?

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The SLE and SLT are more affordable, while the AT4 adds a bolder grille, black 17-inch alloy wheels, sport-terrain tyres, and a steel front skid plate. The Denali adds a layer of luxury, and the AT4’s rugged look should not be mistaken for genuine off-road ability.
• Powertrain: Every model uses a turbocharged 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine with 170 horsepower and 203 pound-feet of torque, paired with a nine-speed automatic. The engine is adequate, but it is not especially quick, and the AT4 can be run in FWD or AWD depending on conditions.
• Safety package: GMC Pro Safety is standard and includes forward-collision warning, pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, automatic high-beam headlights, and a following distance indicator. GMC Pro Safety Plus adds adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-change assist, rear parking sensors, and a Safety Alert Seat; it comes standard on Denali.
• Infotainment: SLE gets a 7-inch touchscreen, while SLT, AT4, and Denali get an 8-inch high-definition touchscreen. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, and connected navigation plus a Bose premium sound system are available with the larger screen.
• Fuel efficiency: The official Natural Resources Canada rating is 9.6 L/100 km in the city, 8.3 L/100 km on the highway, and 9.0 L/100 km combined with AWD.

Which 2022 GMC Terrain trim should I buy?

The 2022 GMC Terrain is offered in 4 trim levels: SLE, SLT, AT4, Denali.

Here's the short version:

• SLE: This is the value-focused starting point, and it gives you the standard 7-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the full GMC Pro Safety package. If you want the Terrain’s core comfort and tech without paying for extras, this is the trim to start with.
• SLT: This trim is the better all-rounder if you want the larger 8-inch touchscreen and more available convenience and tech upgrades. It also gives you access to more of the Terrain’s premium-feeling features without jumping all the way to Denali.
• AT4: Choose this if you like the tougher styling and want standard all-wheel drive, sport-terrain tyres, and the skid plate. It suits you best if appearance and winter confidence matter more than genuine off-road ability.
• Denali: This is the luxury-leaning choice, with the most upscale positioning and standard GMC Pro Safety Plus. It makes sense if you want the most feature-rich Terrain and are willing to pay for it.

GMC Pro Safety Plus is optional on SLE, SLT, and AT4, and standard on Denali.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 GMC Terrain?

This is a moderate, selective-buyer market, so you can shop with some leverage if you are patient.

• Deal availability: 29.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 372 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 13.63% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $24,894 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 GMC Terrain's resale value?

The current average of $24,895 CAD sits slightly below last year's $28,824 CAD.

That price movement suggests the Terrain has already absorbed a meaningful amount of depreciation, which can help future sellers if they buy at the right price today. If the market stays steady, a well-kept example should be easier to position competitively than one bought when prices were higher.

The Terrain’s broad appeal as a comfortable, easy-to-use compact SUV should help support demand, especially among shoppers who value all-wheel drive and simple tech. Still, its resale strength will depend on how well it competes on value against similarly priced rivals.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.83/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 GMC Terrain safe?

The 2022 GMC Terrain earns mostly “Good” crash-test scores from the IIHS, but it receives a “Marginal” rating in the new side-impact test.

It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

Every 2022 Terrain comes with GMC Pro Safety, which includes forward-collision warning, pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, automatic high-beam headlights, and a following distance indicator. GMC Pro Safety Plus adds adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-change assist, rear parking sensors, and a Safety Alert Seat; it is standard on Denali and optional on SLE, SLT, and AT4.

The main caveat is the IIHS side-impact result, which is weaker than the rest of the Terrain’s crash-test performance. You should also note that lane-centring is not available.

Should I buy a 2022 GMC Terrain or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 29.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 13.63% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.83/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2022 adds the AT4 trim and its rugged styling, standard all-wheel drive, sport-terrain tyres, and skid plate.

The bottom line: If you want the Terrain with the newer AT4 personality and you value comfort, simple tech, and all-wheel-drive confidence, the 2022 is the right year to target. If you are mainly shopping on price, a nearby model year may still make sense, but the 2022’s softer pricing and strong owner satisfaction make it a sensible used buy when you find a clean example.
