Vehicle Highlights

The 2010 GMC Terrain is this General Motors division's first five-passenger crossover SUV. Terrain is GMC's smallest vehicle and shares its basic design with the Chevrolet Equinox. Like Equinox, Terrain offers 4-cylinder and V6 engines. Trim levels include SLE-1, SLE-2, SLT-1, and SLT-2. All have a 182-hp 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine. Optional on all but the SLE-1 is a 264-hp 3.0-liter V6. The sole transmission is a 6-speed automatic. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, curtain side airbags, and front side airbags. Terrain marks the first application of GM's Active-Noise-Cancellation system, which is designed to quell mechanical noise. This feature is slated to appear on 4-cylinder Terrains later in the 2010 model year. A rearview camera is standard on all Terrain models, as is GM's MultiFlex rear seat that slides up to 8 inches fore and aft to benefit passenger or cargo room. Remote engine start, a navigation system with 40-gigabyte hard drive for storing digital music files, and DVD entertainment are available.
