The introduction of the all-new 2021 GMC Yukon last night was a good reason for the brand to preview its 2021 lineup of AT4 vehicles.
Besides the newly-announced Yukon AT4, the 2021 GMC AT4 group photo also reveals the 2021 Terrain AT4. This marks the first time the AT4 package is offered on the compact crossover SUV and means that every GMC model will be available in AT4 off-road flavor in 2020.
Workhorses like the Savana van and Sierra HD Chassis Cab will not get the AT4 treatment, for obvious reasons. As with the new 2021 Canyon AT4 and 2021 Yukon AT4, the first-ever 2021 Terrain AT4 will feature “a rugged exterior, confident capability and advanced technology,” according to GMC.

That’s all the company is willing to say for now but a close-up of the group photo reveals that the 2021 Terrain AT4 will receive new LED headlights, a larger black chrome grille, as well as dedicated alloys, black cladding on the wheel arches and doors, and AT4 badging. Obviously, the new headlights and grille are likely to be featured on lesser Terrain models as well, not just the AT4.
The 2021 GMC Terrain AT4 should be in for some interior updates too given that this grade usually brings more standard features as well as aluminum trim and premium fabric colors. The 2021 GMC Terrain AT4 will become available across the United States in fall 2020.
The AT4 grade first appeared on the 2019 GMC Sierra as a package blending off-road capability with premium creature comforts. Core AT design cues typically include rugged exterior details, black chrome grille, fog light surrounds and rear inserts, as well as aluminum interior decor and premium fabric colors.
