This vehicle was on the showroom floor. It contained most of the accessories wanted. One of the accessories not installed, backseat VDR, was given to us free. We paid the installation cost. Overall, it is the vehicle we wanted, style, make, model, etc. at the Edmunds projected price.

Complete trash!

2020 GMC Terrain SLT 4dr SUV AWD (1.5L 4cyl Turbo 9A)

I would give this a negative 182993 review if I could. Bought a 2020 Terrian brand new. Had 12 miles on it at purchase. Now it has 7k miles and has been in the shop 5 times. The rear window wiper stopped working at 140 miles. When we hit 55mph it will shift hard and shake the steering wheel. Gm told us it was safe to drive while they investigate the issue that still hasn't been taken care of. The sunroof won't close properly. It will close then the reopen and get stuck. I will never spend another time on trash GM products. The only issue that has been taken care of was the rear wiper witch they didn't even cover through warranty.

Sporty Terrain SLT

Have owned only a few days. Technology is great, but needs time to set up and get acquainted, my personal opinion is there is more technology than needed. Acceleration very good, braking is quick and comfortable. Vehicle handles smoothly and provides a comfortable ride. Push button operational controls are a bit awkward and not ergonomically designed for people with larger hands.

Snow driving is not good

This is my 2nd Terrain. My first one drove great in the snow. I never got stuck anywhere. This Terrain does not do well at all in the snow. It leaves me stuck trying to get up thr slightest hill. I am not sure what done that made it different. They are both FWD. But overall, I love the Terrains. I love the size, the comfort, and how it drives in other weather except snow. I am thinking I will need to get an AWD going forward. Thank you!

Nice but underpowered

This is a modern, well equipped SUV. The handling is very good, however, the ride is a bit stiff. The gas mileage is more like 25 on the highway. The lack of torque is evident when trying to pass any vehicle on the highway. The engine revs and struggles. The power is so terrible that I found myself driving in the slow lane. The transmission shifters are buttons placed undeneath the climate control. The shifting is terrible, you have to hunt for buttons and parking this thing is awful. Very dissapointing. Stay away.
