It turns in 180 horsepower and EPA fuel economy of 22/32 mpg in front-drive models, a mile per gallon less on each side when all-wheel drive is fitted. The base Terrain sports a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine outfitted with direct injection. The Terrain has more in common with the Equinox under its sheetmetal-namely, its drivetrains and most of its other driving hardware. With just the right amount of blocky detailing, the Terrain's cabin is more in tune with the tasteful looks of the larger Acadia, especially in Denali trim, which wears some woodgrain on the steering wheel, red stitching and soft padding on the dash, and standard leather on the seats. It's framed in low-gloss metallic trim, and capped by a hood that protects the standard 7-inch touchscreen from direct sunlight. There's a shield-shaped set of controls to the right of the driver, a grouping that looks like the same unit in the Chevy Cruze sedan. The cockpit is styled much more in the contemporary GM vein. It's a hard-nosed look, striking from some angles, and more a Tonka novelty from others, especially at its overly boxy fenders.
The Terrain doesn't look a bit like its companion piece, though-it's more a latter-day HUMMER than even its own brand's trucks and other sport-utes. The five-passenger GMC Terrain is a close relative of the Chevy Equinox, and the two have some great attributes in common-very good fuel economy in some versions, a spacious interior, and thoughtful touches and features.
The 2013 GMC Terrain has gone from a quiet addition to legitimately popular choice in the GMC lineup, which isn't surprising as demand for fuel-efficient crossovers climbs across the industry. The very nearly mid-size Terrain utility vehicle is a good reason why-it's a chunky piece of work that gives up nothing in refinement, gas mileage, or features to crossovers like the Edge, Venza, and CR-V.
