ENGINE SPECS AND FUEL ECONOMY

The 2021 GMC Terrain is armed with a peppy powertrain sure to bring you your desired blend of efficiency and power. This 1.5L Turbo 4-cylinder engine offers 170 horsepower and can achieve 203 lb-ft of torque.

Power isn’t the only exciting aspect though, since this motor also earns an EPA-estimated 25 MPG city and 30 MPG highway. With this type of fuel economy combined with a 14.9-gallon tank, you’ll be able to roam the open road for a maximum of 447 highway miles before needing to refuel—think of all the exploration possibilities.

TAKE YOUR GMC TERRAIN ANYWHERE 

When you’re enjoying a maximum available 39 MPG on the highway, you can expect to spend more time exploring the country. The 2021 GMC Terrain is built to take you through a variety of different terrains, including off-road trails.

All-wheel drive models will customize traction and control to the road conditions you are currently experiencing allowing you to explore mud, sand, and gravel with ease. When it starts to rain or you encounter icy terrain, all-wheel drive can activate. This system will send power to the front and rear wheels to optimize traction.

When encountering normal everyday driving conditions, the Terrain will stay in front-wheel drive. This system mechanically disconnects the rear axle to eliminate drag, therefore maintaining fuel economy. The result is an EPA-estimated 25 MPG city and 28 MPG highway.

Despite the slight efficiency dip, the fuel tank is increased on AWD models to 15.6-gallons allowing you to roam nearly 440 highway miles before stopping at the pump.

Fuel-Saving Tips

You want to make sure you’re making the most out of your fuel tank on your next road trip, so the following are some tips on how to maintain your fuel economy:

• Close Your Windows
  There’s a strong correlation between aerodynamics and efficiency. The next time you hit the highway, roll your windows up to help cut down on wind resistance.
• Be Consistent
  Maintaining a safe, consistent speed rather than operating at high speeds uses less fuel overall.
• Stay Up to Date on Maintenance
  If any engine components are old or worn out, this can cause your powertrain to work harder than it has to. Overcompensation can result in decreased efficiency.
• Leave Your Trailer Behind
  Towing puts a strain on your engine, causing your fuel economy to decrease. Therefore, you only want to tow when you absolutely have to.
• Reduce your Weight
  Similar to towing, a heavy payload can affect your efficiency. Keep your cabin free of any heavy equipment and go drop off those boxes you’ve been meaning to donate for the last month.
