In my opinion, I really like this. This vehicle knows what it is and isn't trying too hard to be something that it is not. I like how they massaged the front end to give it a more boxy and imposing look like that of its Yukon. However, I will zonk the turn-signals, they should be LED.
My wife and I just bought an 2019 GMC Terrain Denali with the 2.0T and we could not believe how much we love it so much very amazing suv always love watching your videos joe
Has a great overall exterior styling imo, but the interior does seem outdated on some parts of the vehicle, but again it’s my opinion..also great video once again Joe and Lori!
I'm currently driving a '22 SLT model as a company rental. it's a nice little crossover but i felt that it needed some more pep to it. I did some research and was shocked that GM did away with the 252hp 2.0t and thought replacing it with a 170hp 1.5t would be a great idea on a 3500+ lb vehicle. the 9spd trans can only do so much.
Agreed...!!! It was a HUGE mistake on their part. Considering you have other car manufacturers which are providing 2 or more engine choices. I figure if Nissan can take a gamble and put a 3cyl turbo and squeeze 200hp & 225lbs torque out of it. What's GMC's excuse for not keeping the 2.0...? They went from segment leaders with that 252hp & 260lbs torque. To WAY BELOW currently. Either bring it back GMC or up the 1.5L too more respectable numbers. And by that i don't mean adding 5hp for 2023 models. It needs at least 190hp & 220lbs torque. That's not too much to ask for now is it...?
Thank you Raiti. I just bought mine. I love it so far. The interior felt more solid and comfortable for me. Also I figured out the trim accent in the interior is more diamond plate than carbon fibre.

I am planning on getting one of these! The exterior looks the best in the class in IMO, but yes the interior is not very good though seams the steering wheel looks bland and unimpressive, but thats how most recent GM interiors look like.
The HUD zonk is no longer a zonk if you have to replace your windshield. When HUD is displayed on the windshield it increases the cost of the windshield significantly.

Maaaaaaaan....GMC sure knows how to put together a package huh. But I feel like they missed an epic epic opportunity with making this a real offroad contender with not giving it more ground clearance, more power and more offroad cred...you hit the nail on the head when you said they could've made this rig a Blazer!!! Another massive missed opportunity for GM!!! Great review Joe and Lori!!! I'm gonna have to go with the RAV4 TRD for this one or better yet, put down a few more bucks and grab a 4Runner!!!
You do actually get a bit of hidden ground clearance because the tires have a bigger diameter than the street models, but I agree, more would have been nice. Would have been nice to see a more rugged bumper lip, maybe sharper angled for better approach angles, offroad suspension would be nice, buffed up transmission cooling. Most people won't likely take it that offroad though, it's more of a softroader. I'm looking at the AT4 and comparing it to other vehicles and the fit and finish and nice tech stuff that it gets makes it a no-competition in my books. I wish it were quicker, but I won't complain at the gas pump.
My daughter bought a 21 sle. The little power plants can’t handle the -30 trips it starts great but the inter cooler plugs with moisture. It stays in the heated garage when not in use. Winter testing on gmc part wasn’t very good!
Hey Joe, the terrain looks like the New Blazer. Hmmmmmmm. Nice SUV, but I like the older style of vehicles better. There's too much things that runs on computers these days. It's a nice SUV don't get me wrong but the older vehicles last longer than the newer ones. Just my opinion. I saw the video that you've done about the STI, personally I like the older styles. Electric I could do without. Anyway, Nice job Lori as always 👍 👏 on filming Joe. Your awesome. We should have more people people like yourselves. It'll be a much better world to live in because of the both of you. Take care. Love everything that you guys do.
I traded my 2018 equinox in last year for the 2021 terrain SLT! Completely blacked out including gmc decal. For a tall big guy like myself it has great cabin space. I see complaints about it not being fast, but it has get up and go. My equinox Had the slowest take off ever. So I guess anything was better than that😂
0-60 at 8.9 seconds is slowest in its class. Everything else is faster. One would think the mpg would be better for such little power but 25-28 is not great. For 40 grand, this is a fail.
so i test drove an SLE model ... and here is the break down.. it runs good, definitly not going to win a 1/4 mile race, but alot of ppl were concerned about being a 1.5L and the SUV being 3600lbs... well its more then enough it goes good.. if your looking for a daily cruiser to save money on gas and having something fully loaded like the AT4 and for the price compared to other SUVS this is the one to get.. i checked them ALL... and for the price this one is the most loaded and better looking... i currently have a v8 GMC sierra ( mine ), Cherokee V6 Trailhawk ( wife ) to give ppl an example of fuel , i did the exact same route that i do for work for all 3 and here is the rundown GMC Sierra v8 it is 604$ / month Trailhawk V6 it is 320$ / month AT4 Terrain v4 it is 237.60$ / month plus keep in mind ill be paying maybe 20$ less a month on the AT4... so from the GMC to Terrain im saving 367$ and from the trailhawk to the Terrain im saving 103$ with the 20$ less payments !! so for me it was a hands down.. i would have kept the wife trailhawk for myself and just traded the truck but since im saving 100$ plus more leg room.. we traded both.. she went with Trailblazer and i got the AT4 !!
For what it is, it's a sharp, fuel efficient little suv with nice tech. Definitely suitable for certain buyers. Though alittle more power wouldn't hurt, still nice.
Great review as usual. Excellent rugged cross over with a truck appeal. Rav-4 and CR-V are so common Terrain is a nice change. However, major minus is tiny engine with tiny horse power. Mind boggling why GMC wouldn’t make a larger engine to make it more competitive with cookie cutter RAVs 4 and CR-Vs of this world. Also agree that plastic head up display is weird.
Short answer- no. I owned a rendezvous- it chewed thru bearings and brakes. The AWD stopped working and was going to be $$$$ to fix. I now own Mazda and Nissan and have never looked back. The reasons are all in the technology and reliability.
Tried several compact SUV including the Terrain, not impressed... Finaly ordered a Tucson PHEV, I don't think that you tried it yet, I would appreciate your opinion. Keep up the good work and say hi to Lori.
Hey Joe and Lori, and the Raiti's Rides family, what’s popping, anyways how are y'all doing today? (I hope well). So the GMC Terrain AT4 is the “offroad” version/trim of the GMC Terrain. Now if you don’t know what the GMC Terrain AT4 is i don’t blame you. Anyways GMC is GM (General Motors) mid-brand (if that's a thing), and GMC is a level over Chevrolet, but a level lower than the Cadillac. And this vehicle shares most of its internals with the “basic” Chevrolet Equinox and the more “premium” Cadillac XT5, but there are still some differences like the badge (obviously), interior, and that the GMC Terrain is the only one that offers 3-rows of seats. Anyways the GMC Terrain AT4 is a good looking “off road” SUV (but it’s not everyone's cup of tea or coffee). Ok besides that what is your favorite Compact crossover SUV? Maybe the sibling rivalry like the Cadillac XT5, the Chevrolet Equinox or the easily forgettable *Buick* *Envision* (Buick is literally only alive because of China) Or maybe the competitors, let me know 🙃 (Btw, doesn't the side view looks like the “new” BMW IX, like if this vehicle didn't came out in 2019 I would of thought that they were copying them)
You lost me with 1.5 liter turbo and $39k. It gets worse gas mileage than a 2.4 liter NA engine. Ford and GM love underpowered engines with life -shortening turbos
Great reviews as always and your wife great job , with the RAV4 comparison I rather have it he RAV4 also with the the better displacement 2.5 engine and reliability
Soo nice looking and sooo underpowered they need to bring back the 2.0 turbo.....one of the largest compact crossover...and has one of the smallest underpowered engines...my kia sportage has had wayy more spunk then this when i test drove it...if they had a larger engine i definitely wouldve considered it more back when car shopping
It was a HUGE mistake on their part. Considering you have other car manufacturers which are providing 2 or more engine choices. I figure if Nissan can take a gamble with the Rogue and put a 3cyl turbo and squeeze 200hp & 225lbs torque out of it. What's GMC's excuse for not keeping the 2.0...? They went from segment leaders with that 252hp & 260lbs torque. To WAY BELOW currently. Either bring it back GMC or up the 1.5L too more respectable numbers.

Dang, I love all those nooks and crannies and places to keep your twinkies and storage places to put your balls so aren't tempted to play with them while you drive. My wife would appreciate that one. 👌
I own a 2018 Terrain Denali that I love. The updated headlights on this 2022 model are just ok. The previous generation had sleek, stylish headlights whereas the 2022 lights are boxier and kinda clunky. GM should have focused on updating the interior of this 2022, as nothing has really changed since 2018. All digital dash with a larger infotainment system would have been nice. Skip this and get an older model with the 2.0T.
Nice car, but I hate that newer cars are moving away from gear shifters. It's not awesome to need to press a button or pull a switch to go into neutral. There are dangerous situations in which you want your car to be in neutral fast. I don't want to have to look for the button in an emergency. It's also WAY more satisfying to shift into gear. Buttons are terrible.
I agree about the mileage but I have to say I traded the RAV4 hybrid for a terrain. The rav has issues with the gas tank, 8 recalls, uncomfortable seating for the passenger as it doesn’t adjust, rides rough and loud. The terrain is a lot quieter and smoother. The mpg isn’t as good and it isn’t as reputable as Toyota but I’m pretty happy.
@@MrKillerRC You didn’t want a rav? The Venza is a cross between a car and a suv but sits lower than a suv. I’m sure your car willl last forever. I hope this GMC Terrain I got does as well. The other dealerships were charging a lot above msrp except for GMC.
Also. What's the deal with new engines ? How does this car operate with a 1.5 turbo ? I think my kia is a 1.8? And is decent but .. idk. Never driven a turbo
All the car manufacturers run these little engines with turbos to reach to government mandates for emissions and fuel economy. Only reason. The stupid epa has destroyed the car industry
Please do your research on the Kia engine recall. My 3 year are old Sportage only had 34k miles and was in perfect condition. I suffered total engine failure. Kia was multiple class action lawsuits for faulty engines that have resulted in death, the vehicles catching on fire and in my situation. I got stranded on a swing bridge. They also wouldn’t offer a trade or loaner vehicle. Our Sportage was never fixed and we took a major loss getting out of that junker. That company put us through hell!
Outdated for 40k. Most of the inside taken right out of the 2015 generation of the GMC products (specifically looks very similar to the Canyon and Chevy Colorado).
The engine would keep me away from this one. 1.5L turbo will be very noisy and short on power when 4 people and gear on a trip. torque isn't bad number, but still soso for the size and weight and lower HP will affect it. Fuel economy he mentioned sucks. the 2.0L T (more power and better on fuel), or should be the one in here or a V6

Coming from someone who has never driven or owned any of these computer screen and ai cars trucks etc. Are they better ? What's the cost of updating computers or cost of screens once they fail I mean we need to replace phones every 4,5 years so... Really not digging any of these inhanced vehicals on the price or some style but yet In some ways they look better than the 90s I guess I'll just drive my 2010 kia soul for a few more years lol.
I have a 2013 Terrain 3.6L Denali and it has so many more bells and whistles than this AT4… I’d keep it over this one. Nothing really blows me away here; Inside is meh. Plastic facing on the AC control is blah. And they couldn’t even do hydronic hood struts? Would anyone really take this off the pavement? Disappointing from GMC for sure.
Yes, they use the same platform. To me the Terrain is more truck like in appearance where as the Equinox looks more elegant although shaped more like a minivan.
You are 100 percent correct about the Florida drivers lol. 😂😂😂 as far as speed get a chip and tuned you can add alittle more horse power. Overall you did the terrain justice I love my terrain. I think I will try the Acadia next time though more space and bigger.
The infotainment system in my 2018 GMC Denali is basically identical to this one. Just shows that the layout is solid. Love this 2022.
Yeah i have the 18 slt full package and is the same system i love my terrain is super comfy
In my opinion, I really like this. This vehicle knows what it is and isn't trying too hard to be something that it is not. I like how they massaged the front end to give it a more boxy and imposing look like that of its Yukon. However, I will zonk the turn-signals, they should be LED.
Excellent points Dylan
I like its simplicity, I don’t need all them digital stuff.

Very good call Larry!
Thank you Raiti. I just bought mine. I love it so far. The interior felt more solid and comfortable for me. Also I figured out the trim accent in the interior is more diamond plate than carbon fibre.
You are so very welcome! Congrats!
Agree with you, the 2.0L engine would have been better for the Terrain.
Great minds think a like!

As someone who owns a 2020 2.0 elevation edition I found it sad that they got rid of such a good engine! The interior “refresh” is such a letdown.

Exterior looks nice. I’ll keep the ‘21 Highlander.
Good call!
Underpowered, and dash area looks like bargain basement. The HUD ?! 🤣
Tell me about it Tom!
Right xD
Maaaaaaaan....GMC sure knows how to put together a package huh.

Thanks for sharing that great ownership info!
they fixed that for 2022... is what my buddy of mine that is a mecanic told me... is it true... i guess ill find out next winter at -30 hahaha
Joe you’re so funny 😂 let’s go head and zonk that 🤣🤣
Nice review guys as always 💯🙏🏾
Thanks brother I really appreciate you!
Anytime brother, and thank you Joe🙏🏾

Love the demonstration of the space for the snacks 😂
My most favorite GMC SUV! Nice job Joe.

Thanks for the review. I have had 2 of these as rentals in the last week. I agree the gear shift appears to be an afterthought.
That GMC I consider getting it thanks joe Lori like always great camera 🎥 work I think that GMC should get 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 .
“We’re not condoning voodoo magic here at Raiti’s rides” 🤣🤣🤣
Hey Raiti's Rides Can You Compare 2022 Genesis GV70 3.5t Sport Plus Awd And 2022 Bmw X5 Xdrive40i M Sport Package
I will get that together for you!
they’re not really in the name tier tho
Joe, this SUV needs some more HP! "Come on Man!"
so i test drove an SLE model ... and here is the break down.. it runs good, definitly not going to win a 1/4 mile race, but alot of ppl were concerned about being a 1.5L and the SUV being 3600lbs...
well its more then enough it goes good.. if your looking for a daily cruiser to save money on gas and having something fully loaded like the AT4 and for the price compared to other SUVS this is the one to get.. i checked them ALL... and for the price this one is the most loaded and better looking...
i currently have a v8 GMC sierra ( mine ), Cherokee V6 Trailhawk ( wife )
to give ppl an example of fuel , i did the exact same route that i do for work for all 3 and here is the rundown
GMC Sierra v8 it is 604$ / month
Trailhawk V6 it is 320$ / month
AT4 Terrain v4 it is 237.60$ / month
plus keep in mind ill be paying maybe 20$ less a month on the AT4...
so from the GMC to Terrain im saving 367$
and from the trailhawk to the Terrain im saving 103$ with the 20$ less payments !!
so for me it was a hands down.. i would have kept the wife trailhawk for myself and just traded the truck but since im saving 100$ plus more leg room.. we traded both.. she went with Trailblazer and i got the AT4 !!
For what it is, it's a sharp, fuel efficient little suv with nice tech. Definitely suitable for certain buyers. Though alittle more power wouldn't hurt, still nice.

Refresh is nice, but I’d definitely choose the new Tiguan, Rav, CRV, Rogue, or CX-5 over this.
Lots of tough competition
And Santa Fe .............
@@bextar6365 not that one tho the motor will blow
The AT4 line up is freaking awesome.
I’m glad you are liking them!
@@RaitisRides Me too man. The Pickup truck in the AT4 line is my personal favorite though.
$39,000 for that? Lmao
I no right!
Can you review the Terrain Denali?
Will do! Please stay tuned!
I love it my boy Joe and Lori and keep up the work and I love the video lot real true 👍 💯💯💯💯💯💯
Looks way nicer than Toyota far im concerned opt for the 2.0 turbo goes like a rocket. GMC professional grade...
I’m glad that you like this one!
It does
Thanks for your reviews!
You are so very welcome Dyana!
Is “ TRD” short for turd? 💩
Yes
Tried several compact SUV including the Terrain, not impressed... Finaly ordered a Tucson PHEV, I don't think that you tried it yet, I would appreciate your opinion. Keep up the good work and say hi to Lori.
Another hit for GM...........thanks !! PS: still laughing at "gumballs".
"Don't stick your devil dog in there." ah that had me laughing.
Do the at4 Acadia. Also do the new Ford Edge titanium.
1.5 Turbo should be making at least 190 hp .... it's a GMC ..... c'mon man
I agree with you!
I own a 2022 AT4 Terrain. What is the silver button on the wiper control arm. I have that silver on mine but it doesn't do anything. Is it broken?
Hey Joe and Lori, and the Raiti's Rides family, what’s popping, anyways how are y'all doing today? (I hope well).

Anyways the GMC Terrain AT4 is a good looking “off road” SUV (but it’s not everyone's cup of tea or coffee).
Ok besides that what is your favorite Compact crossover SUV?
Maybe the sibling rivalry like the Cadillac XT5, the Chevrolet Equinox or the easily forgettable *Buick* *Envision* (Buick is literally only alive because of China)
Or maybe the competitors, let me know 🙃
(Btw, doesn't the side view looks like the “new” BMW IX, like if this vehicle didn't came out in 2019 I would of thought that they were copying them)
Those are so really good points that you brought up!!
I like the AT4 package but my choice would be the Acadia AT4 with the V6.
Sounds like a plan
This does have a speed digital display. When driving, you had the display set to show tire pressure.
Hello, great review. Seems like a very solid SUV. We have on order a 2022 GMC Acadia SLT trim. Really excited to get it.
One thing j don't get is the HUGE empty space between the home button and back button. Like why....
Paid by the investor. Smile at everyone.
The Emergency Twinkies part was funny 😁 . The Infotainment center is too tiny for me. It's 2022 not 2012.
Joe ,, I watched your video and am sold thank you
I like the running "comparison " to very Like SUV .. you should do more..
You got it Allan!
The sad thing is, someone at GM actually thought, “Yes. This is a great vehicle.”
Lol…
Imagine paying $40k for a 1.5l sub compact?
@@stevefrench8370 you mean the Honda Civic hatchback? The non SI, non Type R civic. $40,000 Canadian, taxes and fees all in.
Hey Raiti's Ride can you compare Captain Nemo's Nautilus vs a landspeeder? Thanks
You got it!
There's nothing "Professional Grade" about the 1.5. They should have kept the 2 liter turbo.
Joe sure does love his twinkies 🤣
Think I'd go for something from Subaru's line up before this one
Buttons for the gear shift?😔I love my GMC Terrain 2013, lol. I don't think I would change it for the new one.😁
Has it been good? I was thinking Bronco Sport, or RAV 4 until I saw one of these on the highway Sunday.
I know they are not for everyone.
Great question John!
Great, they made it rounder.....................
Lol perfect
Nice Vehicle but Off road in a White Color. It will show stains and scratches more. But the lights are cool.
it needs a new interior
This is soooo true!
I live in nyc and just got this, nyc roads are worse than any off roading u can find so hopefully this is a comfortable ride 😂
You lost me with 1.5 liter turbo and $39k. It gets worse gas mileage than a 2.4 liter NA engine. Ford and GM love underpowered engines with life -shortening turbos
Trust me I know that would be an issue!
Just a way to keep you coming into service dept getting engine replaced
If you don't care about long term reliability or the fact the Rav4 gets better mpg with a bigger engine, sure it's great.
Short term too.
Very good points Noah!
Great reviews as always and your wife great job , with the RAV4 comparison I rather have it he RAV4 also with the the better displacement 2.5 engine and reliability
Soo nice looking and sooo underpowered they need to bring back the 2.0 turbo.....one of the largest compact crossover...and has one of the smallest underpowered engines...my kia sportage has had wayy more spunk then this when i test drove it...if they had a larger engine i definitely wouldve considered it more back when car shopping
It was a HUGE mistake on their part. Considering you have other car manufacturers which are providing 2 or more engine choices. I figure if Nissan can take a gamble with the Rogue and put a 3cyl turbo and squeeze 200hp & 225lbs torque out of it. What's GMC's excuse for not keeping the 2.0...? They went from segment leaders with that 252hp & 260lbs torque. To WAY BELOW currently. Either bring it back GMC or up the 1.5L too more respectable numbers. And by that i don't mean adding 5hp for 2023 models. It needs at least 190hp & 220lbs torque. That's not too much to ask for now is it...?
Awesome Terrain Zonkman.
Thanks Luis!
@@RaitisRides I'm glad you're a dandy and I'm waiting for the home tour!
This is fantastic vehicle nice looks, so purchased RAV4
I am glad that you bought the right one for you!
@@RaitisRides thank you
why is the 2.0L I-4 turbo engine missing?
Dang, I love all those nooks and crannies and places to keep your twinkies and storage places to put your balls so aren't tempted to play with them while you drive. My wife would appreciate that one. 👌
That is so wonderful Scott!
I love the corndog slid
I love my emergency Twinkies 😆
I own a 2018 Terrain Denali that I love. The updated headlights on this 2022 model are just ok. The previous generation had sleek, stylish headlights whereas the 2022 lights are boxier and kinda clunky. GM should have focused on updating the interior of this 2022, as nothing has really changed since 2018. All digital dash with a larger infotainment system would have been nice. Skip this and get an older model with the 2.0T.
I'd go even further and skip this generation and get the prior generation with the V6!!!
Nice car, but I hate that newer cars are moving away from gear shifters. It's not awesome to need to press a button or pull a switch to go into neutral. There are dangerous situations in which you want your car to be in neutral fast. I don't want to have to look for the button in an emergency. It's also WAY more satisfying to shift into gear. Buttons are terrible.
I can't imagine buying any American car in this day and age.
Believe it or not there used to be a diesel option for the Terrain, wish they still had it available.
Get a RAV4 hybrid or Venza for the same money. Way nicer and faster. Better MPG, And better reliability.
I agree about the mileage but I have to say I traded the RAV4 hybrid for a terrain. The rav has issues with the gas tank, 8 recalls, uncomfortable seating for the passenger as it doesn’t adjust, rides rough and loud. The terrain is a lot quieter and smoother. The mpg isn’t as good and it isn’t as reputable as Toyota but I’m pretty happy.
@@whatthebleep2810 I went with a 2022 Venza and love it. Same platform as RAV4 but smoother.
@@MrKillerRC You didn’t want a rav? The Venza is a cross between a car and a suv but sits lower than a suv. I’m sure your car willl last forever. I hope this GMC Terrain I got does as well.
The other dealerships were charging a lot above msrp except for GMC.
@@whatthebleep2810 Venza has same ride height as Rav. Nicer ride and interior.
@@MrKillerRC It almost looks like the Lexus (front side) and the back looks more like a rav (back side). The interior is nicer than the rav.
Sticking with my CRV for now. Get a Edge Titanium.
Sounds like a plan Shane.
@@RaitisRides I meant get a edge titanium to review lol
Also. What's the deal with new engines ? How does this car operate with a 1.5 turbo ? I think my kia is a 1.8? And is decent but .. idk. Never driven a turbo
All the car manufacturers run these little engines with turbos to reach to government mandates for emissions and fuel economy. Only reason. The stupid epa has destroyed the car industry
I love running over people and get annoyed with car manufacturers wanting to keep them safe nowadays. This is the vehicle for me.
I see the 2023 Kia sportages hitting dealerships can’t wait for you to do a full review of one of those!
Please do your research on the Kia engine recall. My 3 year are old Sportage only had 34k miles and was in perfect condition. I suffered total engine failure. Kia was multiple class action lawsuits for faulty engines that have resulted in death, the vehicles catching on fire and in my situation. I got stranded on a swing bridge. They also wouldn’t offer a trade or loaner vehicle. Our Sportage was never fixed and we took a major loss getting out of that junker. That company put us through hell!
Outdated for 40k. Most of the inside taken right out of the 2015 generation of the GMC products (specifically looks very similar to the Canyon and Chevy Colorado).
Does the glove box have a light in it?
Yes it does.
The engine would keep me away from this one. 1.5L turbo will be very noisy and short on power when 4 people and gear on a trip. torque isn't bad number, but still soso for the size and weight and lower HP will affect it. Fuel economy he mentioned sucks. the 2.0L T (more power and better on fuel), or should be the one in here or a V6

I needed to also be hybrid as well
Drive train is the achilleas heel. This would really be improved by a V-6.
No that's over kill. They should have just kept the 2.0 or made it a "paid option" for the SLT & Denali trims. PERIOD.
Ventilated seats are a package that an option
Guard for windows
GMC should definitely update the interior just like in the refreshed sierra and put into the terrain. The suv would look a lot better from the inside
I totally agree with you!
Why no hybrid?
Coming from someone who has never driven or owned any of these computer screen and ai cars trucks etc. Are they better ? What's the cost of updating computers or cost of screens once they fail I mean we need to replace phones every 4,5 years so... Really not digging any of these inhanced vehicals on the price or some style but yet In some ways they look better than the 90s I guess I'll just drive my 2010 kia soul for a few more years lol.
Loved seeing all the snack compartments
Thanks for letting me share it all with you Oscar!
I have a 2013 Terrain 3.6L Denali and it has so many more bells and whistles than this AT4… I’d keep it over this one. Nothing really blows me away here; Inside is meh. Plastic facing on the AC control is blah. And they couldn’t even do hydronic hood struts? Would anyone really take this off the pavement? Disappointing from GMC for sure.
The dashboard is dated … I would have consider it for a family car if the interior was better !
A Regular transmission? Hooray! No CVT, great job #GMC on this American made SUV.
Heck yes!
Terrain reminds me so much of the Rogue.
I think the Rogue is way nicer all the way around.
Totally agree and more reliable just needs a 9 speed automatic.
@@ramoncarter6585 you nailed it with that comment
@@RaitisRides 👍👍👍
How is this even enough power for this platform? Your telling me a 1.5L T engine is going to propel this heavy vehicle through rough terrain?
It has me still scratching my head!
It's not that heavy.
It looks heavier than it actually is. Curb weight is only 3600 lbs. More HP would be nice but 200 ft lb torque is available at 1600 rpms.
Is the GMC terrain derivated from the Chevy Equinox?
Yes, they use the same platform. To me the Terrain is more truck like in appearance where as the Equinox looks more elegant although shaped more like a minivan.
You are 100 percent correct about the Florida drivers lol. 😂😂😂 as far as speed get a chip and tuned you can add alittle more horse power. Overall you did the terrain justice I love my terrain. I think I will try the Acadia next time though more space and bigger.
Acadia is nicer
People shouldn't have too do that. They should have just left the 2.0L the way it was. Or offer it as a "paid option" for the SLT and Denali trims.
