The 2009 GMC Terrain is this General Motors division's first five-passenger crossover SUV. The Terrain shares some of its basic design with the Saturn Vue compact SUV. Terrain likely will offer only V6 motivation. As an entry-level motor, GMC could use a 3.5-liter V6 with about 215 hp, though in order to pitch Terrain as a more premium vehicle, a 250-plus-hp 3.6-liter engine may be the only one offered. In either case, the sole transmission should be a 6-speed automatic. Terrain also will differ from the Vue in styling, content, and feature mix. Available safety features should include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, curtain side airbags, and front side airbags. Terrain should follow the GMC line of offering a pair of trim levels, base SLE and top-line SLT. Count on front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions of each trim level being offered. Among available features, figure on leather upholstery, a navigation system, and overall dressier trim than a comparable Vue. We have not yet driven a GMC Terrain.
