2022 GMC Terrain Review

The Terrain’s Engine

The 2022 GMC Terrain falls within the SUV class. The S in SUV stands for sport, a fitting description for a vehicle that packs the type of powerful performance that the Terrain does. This starts with the 1.5L 4-cylinder engine under the hood which pumps out 170 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque.

While this engine provides you with plenty of power on the local roadways, it is the 9-speed automatic transmission that will seamlessly distribute this force for an efficient driving performance. This is further evidenced by the EPA-estimated 25 city/30 highway MPG the vehicle is able to earn.

GMC Terrain: The Ultimate Utility Vehicle

In addition to impressing under the hood with engine performance that checks a number of key boxes, the Terrain will continue to prove versatile on the interior. Here, you’ll find enough space, 103.2 cubic feet of passenger volume to be exact, to seat five passengers with ease.

The Terrain will continue to delight with its dimensions, offering the space necessary to not only seat five, but the space necessary to do so comfortably. Take the 40.9 inches of front legroom and 39.7 inches of second row legroom, for example, that will allow everyone to stretch out in the cabin.

If this passenger capacity didn’t sell you on the Terrain’s prowess as an extremely capable family vehicle, its storage abilities just might. Behind the second row of seats, you will find 29.6 cubic feet of cargo volume, perfect for luggage, gear, and more. Not to mention, the 1,500 pounds of maximum conventional towing that readies the SUV to handle a smaller trailer with other equipment.

The Terrain’s Technology

Rounding out this review, it is important to touch on the technology found within the Terrain. Here, you’ll find a GMC Infotainment System that provides you access to great features such as Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. Using these, you can integrate your mobile device with your ride, whether you’re looking to stay productive on the go and take calls or kick back with your favorite playlist.

The Terrain also comes with a slew of driver-assistive features that will keep you safe and secure on the go. There are a number, and perhaps none more notable than the innovative Teen Driver feature. This system is particularly helpful if you have young drivers in the household, allowing you to monitor driving behavior and limit certain vehicle features as the young ones get up to speed with the rules of the road.
