2024 GMC Terrain SLE

The 2024 GMC Terrain is a compact SUV that slots between the smaller Trailblazer and the larger Acadia, offering a more premium take on the segment. It competes with the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, and Ford Escape, though it leans more toward upscale styling and available AWD capability. The turbo engine provides adequate acceleration for daily driving, and the ride is composed, though the transmission can occasionally hesitate when downshifting. The cabin is quiet and well-built, with a user-friendly infotainment system and a spacious rear seat for its class. Standard cloth seats, 17-inch wheels, and the smaller 7-inch screen set the SLE apart from the SLT and Denali trims above it. The turbocharged 1.5L Turbo DOHC 4-CYL makes 175 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque, enough for daily driving, and the nine-speed automatic pairs with all-wheel drive to get 25 mpg combined.
