Built on the same platform with the Buick Envision and the Chevrolet Equinox, the 2018 GMC Terrain was a good answer for economical and affordable SUVs.
The SUV market was growing fast and most car-makers tried to increase their offers in the segment. GM flexed its muscles and developed a new platform for the compact SUV market. The new styling was backed-up by the new technologies involved in the project.
The floating-roof design of the Terrain was a big improvement for the GM design team. While some of the previous SUVs made by GMC were trapped in a conservative design language, the Terrain looked like it was started from a blank sheet of paper, and with a new team. The car was tested in the wind-tunnel to offer a lower drag coefficient. The signature-LED for the daytime running lights, the big grille that looked like a chained-fence and the massive GMC letter in the middle, the Terrain offered a strong and powerful appearance.
Inside, the passengers were delighted by a big interior, obtained due to the transverse engines and the 2.72 m (107.3”) wheelbase. There were more trim levels and a big options list. For the 2018 model, GM offered a standard 7” infotainment display on top of the center stack. The gear-stick was removed and a rotary-knob selector was chosen.
For the engine compartment, the Terrain was offered exclusively with turbocharged 4-cylinder units. The smallest one was 1.5-liter gasoline. There was an option for a more powerful 2.0-liter turbocharged unit with the same fuel. The most important addition was the 1.6-liter turbodiesel unit, which offered good power and a lot of torque.
