GMC Announces the 2017 Terrain Nightfall Edition

Wow. There are not many other words to describe how sleek the new Terrain Nightfall edition looks, especially if you like the all black everything. Not available until the Fall of 2016, GMC was sure to announce this SUV early as the demand will surely be high. GMC calls the Nightfall "a stylized special edition combining blacked-out exterior details and wheels, with popular technologies such as IntelliLink with available 4G LTE connectivity and Wi-Fi hotspot."

Armed with 18 inch aluminum wheels, gloss black spokes, a charcoal grill with gloss black surround and accents, gloss black front and rear fascia accents, gloss black rear license plate surround trim, and gloss black outside mirrors and black luggage rails, you truly will be the master of the night if you drive this vehicle. It will be offered in four exterior colors-- Summit White, Onyx Black, Graphite Gray Metallic and Crimson Red Metallic-- but I am struggling to find a reason for anyone to get anything but the Onyx Black. 

“Building on its best year ever, Terrain continues to attract new and style-conscious customers to GMC,” said Duncan Aldred, vice president of GMC Sales and Marketing. “The new Terrain Nightfall Edition adds another great-looking and well-equipped choice for this popular SUV – one that will stand out in a crowd.”

As one of GMC's highest selling vehicles, it is no surprise that the American auto industry staple has added this new sexy style to the already popular Terrain. It is for a good reason too that this vehicle is so popular. Whether it is the 32 MPG (incredible for an SUV of its stature) or the GMC IntelliLink with a 7-inch-diagonal color touchscreen along with available 4G LTE connectivity and Wi-Fi hotspot, this SUV has something for all tastes. Equipped with only the best technology, safety was made a priority in this Terrain. Safety features include six standard air bags and a standard rear-vision camera. Available active safety features include Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Side Blind Zone Alert, Forward Collision Alert, Lane Departure Warning and Rear Park Assist.

Kelley Blue Book Names GMC 'Most Refined Brand'

GMC is back at again stacking awards for their whole line of vehicles. This time, Kelley Blue Book named GMC the 'Most Refined Brand' for 2016, marking GMC's third straight year receiving the KBB Brand Image Award. What is this award based upon? Kelley Blue Book bases it off of consumer perception data which they have acquired through their Insights' Brand Watch study. Brand Watch tracks the study through more than 12,000 in-market new vehicle shoppers through KBB.com. The study combines important factors such as influences in their purchasing decision and capturing the brand/model familiarity and loyalty among new-vehicle shoppers.

GMC Denali was the most successful, receiving the highest rating of all all SUVs. Among its highest ratings were comfort, interior layout, technology, prestige, and sophistication. This is not the first time that Denali has been praised in these awards, as KBB's users love this vehicle for it maintaining a rugged person that isn't offered by other luxury automakers.

The secret to the success. Duncan Aldred, vice president of GMC, believes it is simple. "Premium quality and exterior styling are the top two reasons customers choose GMC vehicles, Aldred said. "Unprecedented refinement and attention to detail provide our customers with a truly professional grade experience."

Since the inception of Denali in 1999, over 850,000 units have been sold. This sub-brand of GMC accounted for 23% of GMC retail sales in 2015, producing better numbers than the luxury brands of Land Rover, Jaguar, and Porsche. Denali has stacked up many awards this year. Besides this one, it most recently was awarded the best car for families by US News. It is no surprise to us that GMC is being recognized again?. Is there even a vehicle that compares to it?
