With the demise of Hummer, General Motors lost its leadership in the crossover utility vehicle sector. Now with the coming of GMC Terrain, GM has once again occupied its top position in CUV brand. The new gmc terrain has the same engine options, chassis and suspension as that of Chevy Equinox. Then, what makes it different from Equinox? It is mainly the luxurious and bold looks as in comparison to Equinox’s economic and traditional looks. The best thing is its exterior styling, which has got a resemblance to some of the features of Hummer family. The interiors of terrain are very trendy.
The surfaces are moulded from black, grey and silver tone plastic. It has got the new Ecotec engine, which gives 22 mpg in city and 32 mpg on highways. Ecotec engine is a 2.4-liter 4 cylinder engine with a direct fuel injection. It gives a big advantage in fuel-economy and emission control. The handling of Terrain is very smooth and gives a well planted feel. Driver has a command position and seats are very comfortable. One very good feature of this vehicle is seat heating system, which can prove a boon in winters. Suspension is firm, but conformable. Price of Terrain ranges from $24,000 to $31,000, which is inexpensive for a fully featured CUV.
