  • The 2018 model year GMC Terrain was redesigned from the ground up to fall in line with GMC’s latest design language. Pricing for the Terrain starts at $24,995 for the SL model; with the top-of-the-line Denali going for $39,300. The SLT model seen here starts at $31,400. Styling elements upfront include: a new grille, c-shaped headlights, and a sculpted hood.
    Under the hood the 2018 GMC Terrain is powered by a 1.5 liter turbocharged Ecotec 4-cylinder engine that makes 170 horsepower and 203 lb-ft. of torque. Thankfully engine upgrades are possible with the 2.0 liter engine that makes 252 horsepower or a 1.6 liter Diesel 4-cylinder. The gas powered engines get a 9-speed automatic transmission. Fuel economy for the 1.5 liter is 26 MPG in the city and 30 MPG on the highway.

    The C shaped daytime running lights will not fully light up until the car gets shifted into drive @0:50. Since the car is parked you can barely see the cool C shaped DRL's.

      It's almost "minivan like" in appearance. Which is probably why it stands out and appeals too many. I know it does for me. And will probably be my next vehicle. However, one thing is for sure GMC should have NEVER dropped the 2.0 engine. They could have left it exclusive to only the Denali trim as they did from 2018-2020. Or as a "paid option" for lower models. That 252hp and 260lbs torque was the perfect pairing for this vehicle.

    The thing to consider here is this is a quite adequate daily driver. The push button shifter is also no big deal on a grocery getter like this. It took me about a day to get used to it. The great thing was the unbelievable lease deal I got. 2 years and 20K miles for me. Gave them $150 up front plus a GM Credit Card Coupon I had worth $750 and the per month is only $153.00. That includes the MO sales tax. This is costing me less than the Nissan Sentra I am turning in. I think I got a big rebate for having a competitor's lease. My wife thinks this car is big. It is inside, but the outside is exactly the same length as the Sentra. Even in the basic trim, it feels more expensive. I love the Android Auto. Hook up my phone and the Google Map integrates with the car's touchscreen. The 1.5 turbo engine, while not exciting, is quite competent. Feels fine to drive and runs adequately at highway speeds, all while getting small car mileage on a family size, seats 5 easily.

    I absolutely LOVE mine. The push button shifter takes getting used to because my other cars have normal gear shifts so I get confused searching for it but after 5 seconds I come to my senses, and yes when I'm trying to do quick maneuvers the buttons work against me, not to mention my nails are usually long so....just a bunch fouls. But I'm born and raised GM lover so when its time to upgrade cant wait to see the newer models and hope they bring back a gear shift, make it similar to the Cadillac.

This one is not, he went over every facet of the car , things that won't bother the owner until a few months in. Transmission behavior, handling, getting in and out, merging onto the freeway, the instrument cluster appearance etc. many of these things are overlooked in most reviews, This is the stuff that matters. Good job man.

    Step up to the Denali package and the black rim around the wheels go away and as far as the rear window design looking like a Murano.........Lexus, Acura, Infiniti, Jaguar, Jeep, Toyota, Mazda and Chevrolet to name a few stepped up to a similar design before GMC made the decision however I think it's clever because the design goes well with the whole package to give it a tough rugged looking front end flowing with simple sweet uniqueness on to the rear keeping cohesive unison which makes for a beautiful ride.

    • @tomtalker2000
      @tomtalker2000 Рік тому +1

      If your talking about total capacity with the front passenger seat folded down. Then yes it's larger. But if your talking about just behind the rear seats it's only 63.3 cubic feet. And that is far smaller then the CR-V's 75 cubic feet. I will say the Terrain has a wider opening when the lift gate is open. The CR-V has a narrow section behind the rear seats. It makes up for that in length not so much on width.

      Actually, I've been driving one of these for that last six months and this is one of the better reviews I have seen. He makes good points all around. I will say that the shifter is not the big deal he is making it out to be in a quick shift scenario. This current generation of buyers is used to placing two fingers on different selectors without looking while gaming. The DRL's are visible enough. Sure, they could be brighter, but they are ok as is. It is a dog on the highway and the styling is sort of hit and miss. He's right about that. Pricing is the turn off with the Terrain, but I found great incentives when I leased, making the Terrain a low price leader.
