In 2024, the Terrain only gets two new paint colors, Riptide Metallic and Downpour Metallic. Besides that, not much has changed.

Pros

• Wildstyle on the outside.
• The Normal Wireless has Apple CarPlay.
• The GMC type costs the least.

Cons

• No choice for a mix.
• She is not doing well.
• There are grating buttons on the gear changer.

You can get the Terrain with either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, and it comes with a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. While it was on the mechanically similar Chevrolet Equinox, we put that engine through its paces. We have yet to try one, though. It took 8.9 seconds for the engine to reach 60 mph. When people ride in the Terrain, they are safe and comfortable. The softly sprung suspension is great for long trips on the highway, but when the road gets more windy, the comfort-oriented layout makes it harder for the driver to control the small crossover. In the same way, the simple but smooth steering, which makes turning in easy at low speeds, is just as telling as a crime boss being questioned by the police.

A lot of driving assistance features come as standard, and you can choose from even more. More information about Terrain’s crash test scores can be found on the websites of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Some important safety factors are:

• Most automatic emergency brakes can tell who is on the road.
• Regular lane exit alarm to maintain lane position.
• You can get adaptive speed control.

Even though the inside is comfortable and roomy, it could be better mixed with good materials and poor building. The Terrain’s internal problems are made worse by its push-button shifter, which could be designed to be used more comfortably. It’s a low-mounted console with a lot of switches that look like power window settings but aren’t very easy to use. It was hard to see where the small buttons were at a glance, especially when we were looking for the reverse button. This made it hard to do three-point turns or switch to manual gear mode quickly. Owners will get used to this in the end. The Terrain can work with other vehicles to move big loads of different sizes. Thanks for having a front seat that can be folded down and a back seat that can be split in half instantly. The Terrain’s storage room has a good amount of space for its class. In our carry-on luggage test, the Terrain could fit 24 things when the back seats were folded down. The CR-V is a better choice for people who want the most cargo space.

The EPA says that the Terrain with front-wheel drive can get up to 25 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway. If all-wheel drive is used, the highway rating drops to 28 mpg. We still need to check how well the Terrain uses gas on the highway, but we’ll let you know when we do.

The infotainment system in the Terrain is easy to use and quick to respond, thanks to its clear graphics, logical settings, and the newest options for in-car networking. An onboard Wi-Fi hotspot, Android Auto, and wireless Apple CarPlay are all normal features. The top-of-the-line Denali comes with a navigation system built right into the dash, but cheaper models can also get one. The Denali comes with a head-up display, while the SLT and AT4 can choose to have one. The Terrain, on the other hand, has a pop-up screen on top of the dashboard instead of the window, which is how other GM cars do it.

To keep the Terrain’s price from going up too much, we would keep using the SLE model. Many of the new features that people who buy small SUVs now think are important are included as standard. These include touchscreen infotainment, wireless Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto, as well as a number of driver-assistance features.
