TSB CAR SPECIFICATION DRIVER
Although the softly sprung suspension is a boon on long highway drives, the comfort-oriented setup drains the compact crossover of driver engagement once the tarmac gets twisty. The Terrain provides its passengers with a comfortable and cosseting ride. Adding the more powerful turbocharged 2.0-liter pushes the compact crossover’s towing capacity up to 3500 pounds. Terrains equipped with the turbocharged 1.5-liter are limited to a maximum tow rating of 1500 pounds. In our testing, the Terrain Denali sprinted to 60 mph in 6.8 seconds. The engine we like best is the effervescent 252-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder it's available on SLE and SLT trims as an option and comes standard on the Denali. Expect slightly more sprightly performance from the GMC and its nine-speed gearbox, as the Chevy pairs the 170-hp engine with a six-speed automatic. We haven't tested the base 1.5-liter in a Terrain but we have put that engine through our testing regimen fitted to its mechanical twin, the Chevrolet Equinox it took 8.9 seconds to reach 60 mph. The standard engine is generally apathetic. The Terrain gets a choice of two four-cylinder engines, but only one-the larger turbocharged version-is a lively partner. And an all-wheel-drive SLT with the more powerful engine and the driver-assist features costs a breathtaking $38,060, which is in line with a fully loaded Toyota RAV4 and thousands more than the most expensive Honda CR-V.
We definitely prefer the more powerful 2.0-liter turbo engine, which makes the Terrain's performance genuinely quick, but that requires stepping up to the SLT trim.
TSB CAR SPECIFICATION ANDROID
Since Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability is standard, we don't see a need to pay another $895 for the upgraded infotainment package, which includes built-in navigation and a slightly larger 8.0-inch screen. To that we'd add the Driver Alert package and Driver Convenience packages, which are bundled together and add a host of convenience and driver-assist features for $2070 (including adaptive cruise, side blind-zone alert, remote start, automatic climate control, power and heated front seats, and many other items). To keep the Terrain's price from getting too out of hand, we'd stick with the entry-level SLE all-wheel-drive model, which starts at $31,195.
