Uncover the New GMC Terrain
Beyond Skin-Deep Good Looks, the Rugged New GMC Terrain is a Bristol, CT Favorite from the Outside, In. And here at Stephen Buick GMC, we have the details you're looking for about this model!
We give you the full overview of Terrain model options, specs, performance and engine options, towing, features, and interior options to help you select which of these new compact SUVs may be the best fit for you or your family. Read on to learn more!
Features
Why choose the Terrain? Even its base model comes well-equipped with Color Touch Radio w/ IntelliLink, premium cloth seats, A/C, a rear-vision camera, remote keyless entry, Bluetooth, and a whole lot more. On more upscale trims, like the SLT and the Denali, you can find ultra-premium additions like perforated leather seating for incredible comfort and ease while driving, heated front seats, signature accents, navigation and advanced audio, and an available 4G Wi-Fi Hotspot for mobile domination of all of your connections. For more specific information regarding the features available in each trim level, read the trim descriptions below!
Engine Options and Performance
Though this SUV features comforts and amenities that make it feel soft, luxurious, and refined, it doesn't lose what it makes it a utility vehicle: the utility.
New Terrain models offer a standard 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine as its base powertrain option, for practical daily performance and optimal efficiency; this is the ideal choice for Bristol and Hartford drivers who will primarily use their compact SUV for commuting, carpooling, and general daily errands. If you'll need to put your Terrain through its paces, however, consider upgrading to the available 3.6-liter V6, with more horsepower, more torque, and a higher towing capacity. Both engine options can be paired with GMC's available All-Wheel-Drive system.
Trim Levels
The best way to find your perfect Terrain match is by coming down to Stephen Buick GMC for a test drive. But before you come, you will want to do some research about what trim level you want, and that can be confusing and time-consuming. The GMC Terrain has six different trim levels and we want to make it easier so you can get to the best part of car shopping even sooner; the test drive. So we have broken down each trim level and highlighted a few of their main features.
Terrain SL: The Terrain SL is the base trim for the Terrain and it is power by a 1.5-liter Turbocharged gas engine with Stop/Start technology. The SL also features Active Noise Cancellation, a 7-inch Infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, OnStar, and 4G Wi-Fi hotspot capability.
Terrain SLE: The SLE is a step up from the SL and features standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Fold-Flat front passenger seat, Keyless Open and Start, and Traction Select System. The Terrain SLE is also powered by a 1.5-liter Turbocharged gas engine.
Terrain SLE Diesel: The SLE Diesel shares many of the same features as its gas powered counterpart other than its engine. The SLE Diesel is powered by a 1.6-liter Diesel four cylinder with Stop/Start technology.
Terrain SLT: The middle of the road trim level offers more features than many other midlevel trims. The SLT features standard Leather-Appointed seats, heated front seats, vehicle remote start, and an 8" Diagonal GMC Infotainment System.
Terrain SLT Diesel: Like the SLE and SLE Diesel the SLT and SLT Diesel also share many of the same features. Except the SLT Diesel is also powered by a 1.6-liter Diesel four cylinder with Stop/Start technology.
Terrain Denali: If you want everything that the Terrain has to offer the Denali trim level is what you are looking for. The Terrain Denali has standard Hands-Free Power Liftgate, Bose Premium Audio system, Heated steering wheel, Rear Park Assist, and is the only Terrain that comes standard with a 2.0-liter four cylinder engine with Stop/Start technology. The Terrain Denali also offers heated second-row seats, heated and vented front seats, surround vision, and low-speed forward automatic braking.
Safety and Confidence
At the heart of any SUV, truly, is safety--and the new GMC Terrain lets its commitment to safety, security, and confidence be known. Terrain's standard and available equipment goes far beyond just its six standard airbags, anti-lock brakes, and strong frame, up to equipment like:
- Side Blind Zone Alert
- Rear Cross Traffic Alert
- Forward Collision Alert
- Rear Vision Camera
- Ultrasonic Rear Park Assist
- Lane Departure Warning
- OnStar Basic Plan
