HD 2018 GMC Terrain | CarGurus Test Drive Review

Shop the new GMC Terrain: A full redesign of GMC's Terrain for 2018 leaves this compact crossover smaller and considerably lighter than last year's version, with a more upscale interior and improved mileage as well. The new Terrain definitely looks less blocky than it used to, with softer and rounder accents and cladding, but even with improvement, it doesn't get great mileage. The interior looks and feels nicer overall and offers logical, effective controls, but the plastic door paneling doesn't look great.The 2018 Terrain offers 3 engines, including a turbodiesel, and it can be purchased with front- or all-wheel drive. Our reviewer prefers the upgraded 2.0-liter 4-cylinder to the base 1.5-liter and got nearly equal mileage with both engines. But our reviewer was troubled by the fact that the Terrain earned a 3-star rating for side impacts to the backseat from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which leaves the Terrain a questionable choice for anyone planning to carry children in the back.Read the full review on CarGurus: Presenter: Christian WardlawCinematographer: Dan SharpSubscribe to the CarGurus Channel:Check out our Test Drive Reviews playlist:Crossovers & SUVs
