About the Terrain

First launched back in 2009 for the 2010 model year, the GMC Terrain is the successor to the GMC Envoy and was initially released as a mid-size crossover. From 2018, however, it has been moved to the compact crossover segment, where it competes with the Mazda CX-5, VW Tiguan, Hyundai Tucson, and others.

The GMC Terrain comes in 4 different trim levels: SLE (from $31,045), SLT (from $35,045), AT4 (from $37,145), and Denali (from $39,745). The standard powertrain across the range is a 1.5L 4-cylinder unit paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission, and either a FWD or RWD drivetrain.

The Terrain provides a comfortable ride as an SUV and is, therefore, a good choice for families looking for something suitable for longer journeys, or who have to take their kids here, there and everywhere on a regular basis.

What surprises some is the GMC Terrain’s relative fuel efficiency, offering 25-mpg in the city, and 30-mpg on the highway. The latter number drops slightly to 28-mpg when driving the AWD variant of the Terrain.

While the interior hasn’t ever been especially fancy on the Terrain, it is comfortable and spacious nonetheless. Family utility comes into play once again with a cargo area offering 29.6 cubic feet of space, going up to 63.3 cubic feet with the rear seats down.

Tech offerings are also decent in newer GMC Terrain models, including a responsive and user-friendly infotainment system, as well as great options like wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and onboard Wi-Fi hotspot all as standard features. The top-level Denali also gets in-built navigation and a driver head-up display.

Another good aspect that makes the Terrain a great family choice is the 5-star NHTSA safety rating, with lane departure warning and lane-keeping assist installed as standard features. One drawback is that despite its name, the Terrain doesn’t have the off-road credentials that some of its GMC siblings have.
