We’re Driving The 2019 GMC Terrain – What Do You Want To Know?
76Sponsored Links
We’re spending this week with the 2019 GMC Terrain. Our model is powered by the turbocharged 2.0L I-4 LTG engine mated to the new GM 9-speed automatic transmission with all-wheel-drive.
The CUV is finished in the SLT trim and features the sinister-looking Terrain Black Edition in Ebony Twilight Metallic with a Jet Black interior. In other words, a black car with a black interior and a black package. An all black GMC Terrain, if you will.
We will have this compact crossover for the week, so if you would like to know more about it beyond the spec sheet, ask your questions about the 2019 GMC Terrain in the comments section, and we’ll reply in a timely manner as part of the GM Authority interactive review.
Ready…. set… go!

Hi Con from Australia Please make this car come to Australia
What is the excuse for the tear side “window”?
“Style”.
Wish I would have kepted my 2015 terrain 2019 sounds like a truck hums all the time you can hear air in both front windows when going down the road.The gas tank only has a 14 gallon tank, filling up all the time. I like the power it has.i have to blame myself for not researching it better. When you start up the radio always comes on.?
Is the build quality any better than the 1970’s build quality of the 2018 Terrain Denali I had for 6 months and got rid of after an accumulation of 23 days at the dealership for numerous build quality, mechanical and electrical/electronic issues?
The 2018 I had was absolutely THE WORSE new vehicle I bought over the past 20+ years. And, between my wife and I that includes various 15-20 domestic and foreign vehicles.
I hope that they did a better job on the motors the 2012 Terrain SLT were crap. The oil evaporates some where and the sensors doesn’t come on. Took it to the GMC carlot no they didn’t even know needless to say I had to replace 8 intake valves, the heads and the timing belt. The bastards didn’t want to help me replace anything $2500 and it still was evaporating the oil and I never had an oil spot in my driveway. I want ever buy another
Have 2019 slt 2.0 turbo. We have had it 4 months and love it. Traded 2012 slt 2.4 liter
2019 has more pick up and power than 2012 e ver had. Ride is good little more road noise but no unbearable. Takes a while to get use to no shifter but knew that when bought it. 30 mpg on flat highway, live in mountains get 25 mpg. Good quality car for the price. No it’s not a top end crossover but it’s not 50+ thousand either . I would recommend it highly to anyone wanting a smaller crossover for 2-5 people also awd works great
Been driving our 2018 terrain Denali for over a year and love it. 2.0 turbo has very impressive power and we average 26-27 mph highway. The all wheel drive was great help this past winter and can be shut off if not needed. As far as the shift buttons it took a couple of days to get used to but so similar to what is used in a lot of the big equipment that I use every day so no big deal. I Like the power and handling(19″ wheels) my only negative would be I think it could be quieter, but not bad. The Denali package is pricey but we love it.
We have been driving a 2018 Terrain Denali for over a year and love it. The 2.0 turbo with 19″ wheels provide an impressive powerful nice ride with good handling. I have occasionally driven a 2018 Equinox premier edition with the smaller engine, the trim and smaller engine do not compare to the GMC. However I am sure it’s whatever you get used to. We are getting 27 – 28 mpg. ave with mostly hyw driving and maybe a third of the time using premium gas. The all wheel drive was a great asset this past miserable winter, and it can be shut off when not needed. As far as the button shift feature, it takes only a couple of days to get used to. It is very similar to much of the newer heavy equipment that I drive every day with the small buttons and little levers. I like it. I have more trouble turning the wipers on by mistake as I grab for the on the column shift lever like my pickup truck has, oops. If I have anything negative to say about the terrain it would be that I think they should be able to make it a even quieter ride.
Oh yeah I don’t like the engine shut off thing either, but you get used to it. so far it has caused no problem.
Alex I’m not sure how you think the 2.0T is underpowered? I know it for sure felt more powerful than my 3.0 V6 in the 2012 for sure
Have 2018 terrain. Stereo is junk. Waiting for software update?? Been to shop so many times already. First time it was for auto shutoff which stppoed working about 5 months after purchase…can you say lemon??
Please, anyone would tell me the internal dimenssions of the trunk ? (width between wheels, depth and height from floor to the extensible shadow). I am unable to find these measurements
