Positioned below the full-size Acadia, the Terrain is GMC's entry in the highly competive small crossover segment. The Terrain shares a number of components with the Chevrolet Equinox, including its Theta architecture and efficient powertrain lineup.

The Terrain rides on a 112.5-inch (2,857 mm) wheelbase and features a four-wheel independent suspension system, with wide front and rear tracks that help the Terrain deliver a comfortable ride along with and capable handling. A range of 17-inch, 18-inch aluminum and 19-inch chrome-clad wheels is available.

Two engines are available for customers to consider. The entry-level motor is 2.4-liter four-cylinder with direct injection that produces 182 horsepower and 172 lb-ft of torque. With front-wheel-drive, the mill delivers 22 mpg in the city and 32 mpg on the highway, while the optional all-wheel-drive system lowers mileage to 20/29 mpg.

Peak fuel economy is achieved in part with an "ECO" mode that is activated via a console-mounted button. When engaged, it lowers the torque converter lockup speed to 1,125 rpm to help save fuel on models equipped with the motor. Terrain's rack-mounted electric power steering system provides greater fuel efficiency on four-cylinder-equipped models, saving nearly 11 miles per tank of gas.

Also available is a 3.0-liter DOHC direct injected V-6 engine that delivers 264 horsepower and 222 lb-ft of torque. This motor returns 17/24 mpg with FWD models and 16/22 mpg with AWD models.

Both engines are mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.

The list of standard and available features includes: standard rear vision camera, programmable power rear liftgate, Bluetooth hands-free phone capability, MultiFlex sliding rear seat, remote vehicle start, USB audio connectivity, MP3 playback, a seven-inch touch-screen navigation system, a 40GB hard drive, a DVD-based rear-seat entertainment system with two independent screens, and standard OnStar and XM Satellite Radio.

GMC Terrain is produced at the CAMI assembly facility in Ingersoll, Ontario.

Key Competitors
Alternatives to the Terrain are numerous, including such small 'utes as the Ford Escape, Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, Volkswagen Tiguan and Jeep Patriot.
