GMC Terrain keeps 65% of its recent market value after 5 years — #142 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the GMC Terrain retains 65% of its recent market value after five years, ranking #142 of 530 cars we track. That is 7 points above the 58% five-year average for SUV in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the GMC Terrain sheds about 9% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $28,794 it falls to around $18,600 by year five — a five-year loss near $10,194, about $5.59 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used GMC Terrain bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
