2017 GMC Terrain

There are two engine options for the 2017 Terrain. Both engines are paired to a six-speed automatic transmission and are front wheel drive, with AWD as an option. The base model S Terrain comes standard with a 2.4 L four cylinder engine that produces 182 horsepower and 172 lb-ft of torque. The SLE-2, SLT, and Denali have an optional flexed out 3.6 L V6 that powers at a significant 301 horsepower and 272 lb-ft of torque.  A properly equipped four cylinder can tow up to 1500 lbs; and the V6 is capable of towing 3500 pounds- light boats, snowmobiles, and motorcycles can all be towed with ease.

The 2017 GMC Terrain received a four-star overall rating from the NHTSA. Safety features include six standard airbags, stability and traction control, and a standard rear-view camera. Available safety features include rear cross traffic alert, side blind zone alert, forward collision alert, lane departure warning, and rear park assist. GM’s OnStar emergency communications system is also standard.

GMC has a quite distinct exterior styling, and the Terrain design follows suit. The bold, boxy look is quite the contrast to the Terrains main competitors, who all possess similar curves and sporty accents. The exterior is fairly recognizable and expected, but the Terrain really stands out for its interior. The cabin is idyllically quiet, and the dashboard layout is sleek and attractive. The material quality is certainly higher than you’d expect from a vehicle in this price segment. The seats are comfortable and have plenty of room up front and in the back, and sliding and reclining rear seats make it even easier for backseat passengers to get comfortable.

All Terrains come with standard climate control; AM/FM/CD/satellite sound with a USB port for media players; keyless entry; a power driver seat; and ambient lighting. Also standard is a touchscreen-driven audio system. It can be optioned with IntelliLink, which connects smartphones to the car's audio system, enabling Bluetooth voice control and streaming music from sources like Pandora. Other options include remote start; a rear-seat DVD entertainment system; and navigation with hard-drive map and music storage.
