2022 GMC Terrain Will Not Offer 2.0L Turbo Engine
Sponsored Links
Back in September of 2020, GM Authority reported that General Motors was planning on introducing the refreshed 2022 GMC Terrain with a new turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder engine option. Now, however, General Motors has changed its plans, and the refreshed Terrain will in fact not offer a new turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder engine option.
General Motors’ original plan was to offer the 2022 GMC Terrain with the turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder LSY gasoline engine. As GM Authority exclusively reported back in July of 2020, GM dropped the turbocharged 2.0L I4 LTG gas engine from the 2021 Chevy Equinox and 2021 GMC Terrain engine lineup, leaving the 1.5 I4 LYX gasoline engine as the exclusive powerplant option. Thus, the new 2.0L I4 LSY would join the LYX in the lineup for the 2022 model year. Now, however, that is no longer the case.
According to sources familiar with the matter, the turbocharged 2.0L I4 LTG gasoline engine accounted for only 8 percent of total 2020 model year sales for the Terrain’s corporate cousin, the Chevy Equinox, suggesting that customers are more than satisfied with the turbocharged 1.5L I4 LYX when it comes with GM’s crossover lineup.
For reference, the turbocharged 1.5L I4 LYX produces 170 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and 203 pound-feet of torque at 2,000 rpm.
The GMC Terrain was originally set for a model refresh for the 2021 model year. However, as a result of complications stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, the GMC Terrain refresh was instead pushed back to the 2022 model year, which will arrive as the fifth model year of the latest second-generation vehicle.
Although the 2022 GMC Terrain will not offer a new turbo 2.0L I4 gasoline engine, it will offer revised styling for the front and rear end, as well as revisions to the interior styling, interior colors, and interior materials. Under the skin, the 2022 GMC Terrain will ride on the GM D2 platform. Production will take place at the GM San Luis Potosi facility in Mexico.

SO IS THE NEW 2022 GMC TERRAIN DENALI GETTING THE 2.0L ENGINE IF DOES NOT GET IT WHATS THE POINT GOING FOR THE 1.5L ENGINE IS USELESS FOR THE DENALI MODEL THE DENALI A REALLY HIGHT TRIM REALLY EXPENSIVE BUT YOUR ONLY GETTING 1.5L ENGINE LIKE BRUH, THE 2022 GMC TERRAIN DENALI SHOULD HAVE THE 2.0L ENGINE PLZZZZZZZZZ GM ADD 2.0L ENGINE ON THE DENALI JUST THE DENALI, THE DENALI IS A LUXERY SUV IT SHOULD HAVE THE 2.0L ENGINE NO THE 1.7L ENGINE EVERYONE IS SAYING TO ADD THE 2.0L ENGINE ON THE DENALI PLZ AD IT!!!! AND PLUS I LOVE NEW 2022 GMC TERRAIN DENALI DESINGN THE ONLY THING I DON’T LIKE IS ENGINE PLZ PUT IN THE 2.0L ENGINE THEN MORE PEOPLE WILL HAVE CHOICE TO GO FOR THE 1.5L OR THE 2.0L ONE PLZ ADD THE 2.0L ENGINE IN THE 2022 GMC TERRAIN DENALI
You are so right I wish the Terrain Denali at least the Denali would come with the 2.0 l it would be awesome it the highest trim level and supposed to be professional grade GMC big dollars but not 2.0 l ! And I don’t want a Cadillac or a Buick what one to do I guess need to buy a 2020 Terrain denali
K WHY IS GM NOT PUTTING IN THE 2.0L ENGINE THERE HAS TO BE A REASON
We bought a 2020 GMC Terrain Denali with the 2.0 turbo for that reason and not the Acadia. The 3.6 V6 is a turd in the mountains and for passing. The 1.5 turbo is an under powdered neutered dog of a motor. Pull your head out of your arse GM and put the real motor back in!
I own the 2L. Best decision I ever made was to pick the 2L vs the 1.5L. They even dropped the dual exhaust option. 🙁
GMC IS TOO STUPID TO ADD THE 2.0L ENGINE AT LEAST ADD A LIKE HYBRID OR SOMETHING THEY JUST TAKW AWAY THE GOOD STUFF I HAD 2015 GMC TERRAIN V6 IT WAS BEST CAR I EVER HAD THEN I BOUGHT THE 2020 GMC TERRAIN 2.0L I SOLD MY 2015 WAS BECAUSE I LOVED WHEN THE 2020 CAME WHEN THEY ENVELD THE 2022 GMC TERRAIN I THEN SOLD MY 2020 JUST BECAUSE I LOVED THE NEW 2022 DESIGN BUT NO THEY DROPPED THE 2.0L ENGINE NOW I REGRET SELLING MY 2020 GMC TERRAIN DENALI, GM IS ONLY GOOD AT DISAPOINTING PEOPLE THX YOU GMC SO , IF YOU CHANGE MIND ADD THE 2.0L ENGINE BACK PLEASE!
Totally agree with you was going to purchase a new 2022 GMC Terrain Denali refresh was all excited to put a new order until gm dealer tells me no more 2.0 l only option 1.5 turbo across all trim levels unless wanted a Buick Envision or Cadillac XT4 which don’t want neither so if I want the 2.0 in a terrain have to overpay for a 2020 Terrain denali because of ongoing inventory shortage do to microchip issues. Used 1 year old vehicles going just as much as a new one !!! So what’s one to do . GM makes it very easy for consumers to look at other manufacturers when they make silly decisions like removing a excellent engine for the c u v snd was hoping to be a new GM Custoner now need to think twice !
I’ve been so pleased with my 2020 Eqinox. I was sick to hear that GM was only offering the smaller 1.5 for 2022. If they don’t bring the 2.0 in 2023 when my lease is up, then GM just lost a customer. I’ll look at the KIA Sorento.
WHAT ARE THEY THINKING?
Totally agree with you what is GM thinking putting brakes on ordering 2022 terrain Denali with 1.5 engine really made me think look at some other manufacturers and really don’t 2.0 l Engine coming back in the terrain or equinox highly unlikely!!!
A very foolish move IMO. I have a 2018 Terrain with the 2.0L Turbo, and one of the biggest selling points for me, besides the good fuel economy (30mpg’s on the highway) was the power/tow rating. An impressive 3500lbs capacity with such a small vehicle. I can’t fathom why they would ditch more power and towing capability for a smaller engine where the average MPG’s/fuel economy stays the same between the two. I was planning on buying Terrains’ as my daily vehicle from now on, but that may have just changed without the 2.0 as an option.
