2021 GMC Terrain: Compact SUV Can Fit Many Needs

 


Compact SUVs provide motorists with some key advantages, such as the ability to haul people and cargo in a vehicle that is relatively small and gets pretty good fuel economy. Those traits are all present in the 2021 GMC Terrain.

The Terrain offers seating for five passengers. It has a maximum cargo capacity of 81 cubic feet with the rear seat and front passenger seat folded down.

Under the hood, the Terrain has a standard 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that makes 170 horsepower and is linked to a nine-speed automatic transmission. Standard drivetrain is front-wheel, with all-wheel optional. 

The FWD Terrain posts fuel economy numbers of an EPA-estimated 26 mpg city, 30 highway and 25 and 28 for the AWD model. 

The Terrain is available in four trim levels: SL, SLE, SLT and Denali. 

Interior room for the Terrain is about what you would expect, meaning that if you have a large family or need to haul a lot of gear, you should select something a little larger. But for small families or modest hauling needs, the Terrain is up to the task. 

Taller passengers or drivers might feel a little cramped in the Terrain on longer trips, so that might be a consideration as well. 

But overall, this is a quality small SUV that offers a nice appearance and a solid ride.

The Terrain starts at around $26,000 and ranges to around $38,000.

If you're in the market for a compact SUV, the Terrain deserves some attention.
