2017 GMC Terrain SLT

The 2017 Terrain is a compact SUV that slots below the Acadia, offering a choice of front- or all-wheel drive. It competes with the Ford Escape, Honda CR-V, and Chevrolet Equinox, though the Terrain leans more toward a truck-like feel. The Terrain handles predictably and rides comfortably on the highway, though the ride can feel firm over rough pavement. The cabin features a sliding rear seat that boosts legroom or cargo space, and the rear seats fold flat for larger loads. Available tech includes a rearview camera, forward collision alert, lane departure warning, and a touchscreen infotainment system. The SLT adds leather upholstery, heated front seats, and a power-adjustable driver’s seat over the SLE-2, bringing a more premium feel without jumping to the Denali. An available 3.6L I6 pairs with the all-wheel drive and a six-speed automatic, delivering adequate power for daily driving but drinking 18 mpg combined. The SLT offers an optional navigation system and a rear-seat entertainment system, features not available on the SLE trims.
