2018 GMC Terrain SLE

The 2018 GMC Terrain is a compact SUV that slots below the Acadia, offering a more car-like ride and upscale styling. It competes with the Ford Escape, Honda CR-V, and Chevrolet Equinox, standing out with its truck-like stance and available Denali luxury trim. The Terrain handles competently for its class, with a composed ride and responsive steering, though the base engine can feel a bit sluggish. Inside, the cabin is roomy and well-built, with a sliding rear seat that boosts cargo flexibility and a straightforward control layout. Its 1.5L I4 makes 170 horsepower and pairs with a nine-speed automatic, earning 28 mpg combined in front-wheel-drive form.
