2010 GMC TERRAIN


MSRP $24,250 - $31,300
2010 GMC Terrain

The 2010 GMC Terrain is all-new for 2010.  It is the twin to the Chevrolet Equinox. It is a 5-seat crossover that comes in front- or all-wheel drive with either a 4-cylinder or V-6. With front-wheel drive and the 4-cylinder, highway gas mileage is expected to be 30 mpg.

Trim levels include the base SLE and SLT. The crossover Terrain features a four-wheel-independent suspension and car-based frame.  This improves ride comfort and fuel efficiency over off-road capabilities and towing.

The crossover has oversized fenders and bumper cladding which the Chevy Equinox does not. The windshield is the only common exterior part.

A backup camera is standard, and a power liftgate is optional.

17-inch alloy wheels are standard with the four-cylinder engine and 18-inch alloys on the V-6 models with 19-inch wheels as an option.

An upward-tilted panel houses the air-conditioning and stereo controls. The dashboard features angular styling and two-tone plastics. Standard equipment includes keyless entry, power height adjustment for the driver's seat, and a 6-speaker stereo with a USB port for MP3 players. An 8-way power driver's seat, heated leather upholstery, a moonroof and a navigation system are optional.

The Terrain's second-row seat adjusts fore and aft. There's a plastic floor panel behind the seat that can be folded down to create a gap-free cargo floor. With the second row down, maximum cargo volume totals 63.9 cubic feet.

Both the 4-cylinder and the V-6 employ direct-injection technology. The four-cylinder displaces 2.4 liters and makes 182 horsepower; the V-6 displaces 3.0 liters and makes 264 hp. An "Eco" mode, activated by a dashboard button, alters drivetrain calibrations in the 4-cylinder to maximize fuel efficiency. GM says Eco mode helps the Terrain achieve its highway mileage figures.

When properly equipped, maximum towing capacity with the four-cylinder is 1,500 pounds. With the V-6, it rises to 3,500 pounds.

Six airbags, including side-impact airbags for the front seats and side curtain airbags for both rows, are standard. So are four-wheel-disc antilock brakes, traction control and an electronic stability system.
