If you’ve been searching for a new compact SUV, you’ve likely been flooded with options. Two of the most popular models on the market, and ones we personally love, are the Chevy Equinox and GMC Terrain, the latter of which gets some significant upgrades for the 2026 model year. While these two vehicles are similar, the GMC adds additional luxury trimmings and finishes to set itself apart, and we can see this in full force for the new year’s model. If you’ve been curious about the 2026 GMC Terrain, read on to find out why it should be the top contender for your next new vehicle in Muscatine. GMC Terrain Redesign and Specs Front-facing view of the 2026 GMC Terrain Elevation interior. The 2026 GMC Terrain gets modest updates from the 2025 model, specifically with a bolder, truck-adjacent design thanks to a more striking grille and LED headlights that have been trimmed down to an attractive, thin design. The body gets some sleeker lines, but the big addition in terms of the exterior and redesign is the addition of two new finishes: Glacier White Tricoat and Downpour Metallic. For the 2026 GMC Terrain Specs, things mostly remain the same. The standard engine is a 1.5L, turbo four-cylinder model worth 175 horsepower; there’s also now a 2.0L turbo engine for 250 horsepower. You have your choice between front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive, though your decision comes with a different drivetrain. FWD gets a continuously variable transmission; AWD gets an eight-speed automatic transmission. Properly equipped, you’ll be able to tow up to 1,500 lbs. with the 2026 GMC Terrain. As a note, fuel economy ratings have yet to be released, but based on the 2025 GMC Terrain, you can expect roughly 26 MPG in the city and 28 MPG on the highway. 2026 GMC Terrain Interior and Tech The GMC Terrain got a few nice updates to the cabin, including redesigned seats (with standard heated front seats) for additional coziniess on long drives. No sizing updates have been made from the 2025 model; the Terrain still seats up to five passengers comfortably in 103.2 cubic feet of passenger volume, and cargo remains unchanged at 63.5 cubic feet. Overall, the interior looks and feels like a luxury pickup truck that’s been catered to the SUV design, which is great for drivers who want a rugged feel without sacrificing comfort. If the 2026 GMC Sierra is like camping, the 2026 GMC Terrain is like glamping, and that’s awesome to have in Muscatine. We’ll get to the new trims, but the 2026 GMC Terrain Denali, the new fully loaded option, comes with heated rear seats, a new addition for comfort features. It also features wood trimmings and perforated leather seats. The 2026 GMC Terrain tech is also impressive, as a 15” vertically oriented infotainment system is standard across all trims, as is an 11” digital gauge display. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility is standard, and the cabin has been tweaked to reduce road noise by means of GMC’s Active Noise Cancellation. Lastly, safety tech features include: Blind-zone steering assist Lane keeping assist Lane departure warning Available rear camera mirror Available HD Surround Vision HD Rear Vision Camera Teen Driver settings And more 2026 GMC Terrain Trims and Prices Front overhead 3/4 view of the 2026 GMC Terrain Elevation in Rapids Metallic featuring two-tone roof parked in a field.

The Encore GX is one of the most popular models in the Buick roster, and the Avenir sits atop the trim lineup with the best features available. For those shopping for their next luxury SUV near Muscatine, we’ve decided to do a deep dive into why the Encore GX Avenir is one of the finest vehicles available. Buick Encore GX Avenir Engine and Performance The Avenir comes standard with the larger 1.3-liter 3-cylinder engine, which cranks out 155 horsepower and 174 pound-feet of torque. This is the more powerful of the two available engines—the base-level Preferred trim comes with a 1.2-liter that creates 137 horsepower. It also comes with a choice of either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. FWD models are paired with a CVT transmission, while the AWD version gets a slick-shifting 9-speed automatic. Because of its larger engine and bigger wheels, the Encore GX Avenir gets slightly lower fuel economy than the base trim. With FWD, it’s rated for 29 MPG in the city and 31 on the highway, while AWD models get 26 MPG in the city and 28 on the highway. However, its combined MPG is still on par with the other models, making the boost in power well worth it. Buick Encore GX Avenir Dimensions and Exterior In terms of size, the Encore sits pretty close to the middle of the Buick lineup—it’s larger on the inside than the subcompact Buick Envista, but smaller overall than the three-row Enclave. Here’s a look at the Buick Encore GX dimensions: Length: 171.16 in Wheelbase: 102.00 in Width: 71.39 in Height: 64.90 in Interestingly, despite having more interior room than the Envista, it’s the shortest Buick vehicle. Its proportions make it easy to maneuver in tight city streets and parking lots, but it’s still big enough to offer plenty of space for seating and storage, making it the perfect happy medium for many shoppers near Davenport, IA. The 2026 Buick Encore GX is available in six exterior colors: Copper Ice Metallic, Ocean Blue Metallic, Moonstone Gray Metallic, Ebony Twilight Metallic, White Frost Tricoat, and new for the 2026 model year, Brilliant Red, which replaces Cinnabar Metallic.
