2022 / 2023 GMC Terrain Review (DETAILED) | Top 5 Pros & Cons | The BEST SUV for you?
The attractively boxy, assertive look given off by the 2023 GMC Terrain belies the fact that its features and performance fail to produce a winning package in the ever-competitive compact crossover market. All the Terrain models feel a little malnourished, a result of the universally equipped and less-than-enthusiastic 175-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The spacious and welcoming interior is held back by modest equipment and merely average material quality. Moving up to the pricey Denali model helps the solve some of those issues, but rivals like the Mazda CX-50 and the Honda CR-V offer better features and better performance at a similar price.
What's New for 2023?
GMC kept changes for the 2023 Terrain to a minimum, but it did add five horsepower, bringing the total output from its 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder to 175 horsepower. Two new paint colors are being added this year, along with redesigned 19-inch wheels for the Elevation package available on SLE and SLT models. A Black Diamond Edition package is being added for the Denali trim.
Pricing and Which One to Buy
SLE - $31,295
SLT - $35,295
AT4 - $37,395
Denali - $39,995
To keep the Terrain's price from getting too out of hand, we'd stick with the SLE model. It comes standard with plenty of equipment that compact SUV buyers now consider must-haves, including wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability, touchscreen infotainment, and a host of driver-assistance features.
Engine, Transmission, and Performance
The Terrain comes standard with a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine with a nine-speed automatic and either front- or all-wheel drive. We haven't tested one yet, but we put that engine through our testing regimen fitted to its mechanical twin, the Chevrolet Equinox; it took 8.9 seconds to reach 60 mph. The Terrain provides its passengers with a comfortable, cosseting ride. Although the softly sprung suspension is a boon on long highway drives, the comfort-oriented setup drains the compact crossover of driver engagement once the tarmac gets twisty. Likewise, the direct but syrupy steering, which provides effortless turn-in at low speeds, proves as uninformative as a mob boss in a police interrogation room.
Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG
The EPA estimates the Terrain with front-wheel drive will earn up to 25 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway; going with all-wheel drive drops the highway estimate to 28 mpg. We've yet to put the Terrain through our real-world highway fuel economy test but we'll update this story when we do. For more information about the Terrain's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website.
