The GMC Terrain: A Refined and Capable Crossover SUV

The GMC Terrain is a crossover SUV that has been impressing drivers since its introduction in 2010. The 2021 model year brings a refined design, a comfortable interior, and advanced safety features that make it a top contender in the crowded crossover market.

Features and Performance

The GMC Terrain is available in four trim levels: SL, SLE, SLT, and Denali. All trims come standard with a 170-horsepower turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. The top-level Denali trim offers a 252-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. All-wheel drive is available on all trims except for the base SL.

The Terrain's fuel economy is impressive, with an EPA-estimated 25 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway for the base engine. The Denali's larger engine brings a slightly lower fuel economy rating of 22 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway.

Standard features on the base SL trim include a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and a rearview camera. Higher trims add features such as a larger 8-inch touchscreen, leather upholstery, heated front seats, and a panoramic sunroof.

Pricing and Competitors

The 2021 GMC Terrain starts at $25,000 for the base SL trim and ranges up to $39,000 for the top-level Denali trim with all-wheel drive. The Terrain's pricing is competitive with its main rivals, including the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, and Mazda CX-5.

OEM Alternator Specifications

The GMC Terrain comes standard with a 170-amp alternator. This is sufficient for most drivers' needs, but for those who want to upgrade their car audio system, a high-output alternator may be necessary.
