GMC Terrain Overview

The Terrain midsize crossover slots in below the Acadia and Yukon as the smallest SUV in GMC's lineup and shares its platform and engineering with the Chevrolet Equinox. Available in SLE-1, SLE-2, SLT-1 and SLT-2 trim levels, the unibody Terrain ranges in base price from $24,500 to $31,650. The standard 2.4-liter inline 4-cylinder engine offers a good mix of power and efficiency, outputting 182 hp while returning 22 city/32 highway mpg (20 city/29 highway mpg with all-wheel drive).

All trim levels save for the base SLE-1 can also be ordered with a 3.0-liter V6, making 264 hp and returning 17 city/24 highway mpg (16 city/22 highway mpg with all-wheel drive). The Terrain comes equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission regardless of engine or drivetrain choices. Despite the GMC badge, the Terrain is more civilized than ruggedized, offering car-like ride and handling but limited payload and towing capacity.
