2022 GMC Terrain SLT 4dr SUV (1.5L 4cyl Turbo 9A)
93 of 95 people found this review helpful
Had a 2018 Terrain and now have a 2022. I have nothing negative to say about the Terrain. No, the 1.5L isn’t a powerhouse, but it’s completely adequate around town, and it’s surprisingly quick entering the freeway with ample passing capabilities. Anyone who says the 1.5L is a slug hasn’t driven the car. The ride is firm and well controlled, never bouncy. The upscale cabin is comfortable and extremely quiet. Gas mileage is very good. Build quality and paintwork are excellent.

2021 GMV Terrain SLT

2021 GMC Terrain SLT 4dr SUV (1.5L 4cyl Turbo 9A)

As of today, April 19/2023 I still own my Terrain purchased in November 2020. It has, so far, not given me a minute's issue. The 1.5L Turbo is "okay" but the 2.0L Turbo is so much better. The Terrain is a very well thought out vehicle. Back seat flip flat at the push of a button and easily clicks back in to place. Seats are at hip height, which at 71, makes them very easy to slide in and out. The front bucket seats are fairly comfortable with many power adjustments. The front seats could use another 1/2" to 1" of width. I would buy this beauty again. UPDATE: I purchase my 2021 GMC Terrain brand new in November 2020 before the chip shortage, that isn't an issue with the 2021 at all. I just hit 20,000 miles a couple of weeks ago and all-in-all has been a pleasure to drive. I'm a big guy of 6' 2" and 285 and I easily slide in and out of my Terrain. Quiet ride and efficient and peppy 1.5L Turbo motor, although I would have preferred the 2.0L Turbo like I had in my 2018 Terrain, but the 2020 was the last year for the 2.0L On the SLT, that I have, are many positions to adjust the front seat and I do prefer the leather over cloth seats. For a 2-row seat SUV, there is plenty of room and the seats fold down at the touch of button or pull that works with the effort of one finger. I really like the info system and Sirius Radio. I have not used the Navigation or phone interface because I just don't need to. One oddball fact I discovered though is that when you want to take out the Cabin Filter, you have to use a 5.5 mm socket and that size is difficult to find. They need to go to a more conventional size like a 6 mm or 1/4 inch. UPDATE: I drove my 2021 Terrain SLT Elevation Edition out of the dealer showroom on 11/27/2020. I am 6' 2" and 72 yrs old. I specifically like the way I can slide in and easily slide out of the Terrain. I also find the front seat very comfortable and easy to adjust and has a nice lumbar support. I don't find the road noise so bad, but maybe that is because I have Talk Radio on all the time. I do agree that a 2.0 Turbo would be a better engine option. I owned a 2018 Terrain Denali with the 2.0L and I thought I was in a rocket when I stepped on the gas. I have owned my 2021 for 31 months now and have put 21,530 miles on the ol' girl and have not had a single issue, but there was one "what were they thinking moment" the screw for the driving compartment air filter is a 5.5 mm! I did change that filter at 18,000 miles although the manual called for 30,000 miles. Such an odd and hard to find size. I have changed the oil and filter every 5,000 miles and rotated the tires. I would like to see the same vehicle but 10" to 12" longer and maybe 4" to 6" wider to fit just a bit more beefy seat like the Tahoe has. Other than that I will most likely buy another Terrain and for sure if they reinstate the 2.0L Turbo.

It’s been a about a month with my 2021 GMC Terrain and I absolutely love it. It’s not the fastest car in the world but it’s 4 Cylinder engine can actually run hard and smooth at the same time. As far as the milage it runs on gas, I honestly can’t complain. it’s the perfect size efficient vehicle anyone can ask for.
At4 terrain- love it

Wife loves her new ride

First off, I’ll admit, we are GMC family. I own a 22 Sierra, my brother owns a Sierra, we are GMC fans. This is my wife’s first GMC. Traded in a Rav 4 for a 22 Terran SLT Premium. She got everything she wanted and more. Leather heated seats, heads up display, moonroof, Bose, safety features, the list goes on. It’s an absolute great ride. Drives smooth and very comfortable inside. If you’re looking for a smaller crossover, I’d definitely take a peak at this. We’re definitely happy we did.

Picked it up for my father. Wonderful safety features, very good on gas. I like that the 1.5 liter can accelerate in gear from 1300 rpm without having to upshift

I was pleasantly surprised how peppy this small SUV is. I love all the safety features and the fact that I don’t have to pay so much for gas since it takes regular 87 octane. I took it on a long trip this weekend and it performed great.

Most reviews are not favorable but in the "car buying climate" right now I feel I got a fair deal. Bought 22 SLE for my wife 60 yrs old very safe driver who goes 10-20 miles a day for work etc...I have owned many vehicles in my life (61 yr old male) and this car is great for her situation is all im saying I think its a good-looking great vehicle all things considered..I swore off American cars years ago but have to say "I love this vehicle" .

Terrain AT4 is Great

I’ve had all kinds of SUVs. This is a great little truck. Ride quality is excellent it is very quiet. I was concerned that it was going to be sluggish it is actually pretty quick for what it is especially off the line. Get high 30s on road trips for mileage. I do like off Roading and found out the hard way that it is not a jeep. However it does go through deep sand on the beach very well and does not get stuck it just doesn’t have a lot of ground clearance. I prefer having better performance on the road with 4 x 4 capability which This truck does have. Technology is much better than the BMW I just traded it in for. I love the 360 cameras. I really do not have any complaints. It is a fabulous little truck.

Unreliable where it gets below 10C

Turbo has an inner cooler that freezes up on a consistent basis, leaving you with low power to limp to a dealership to have it dealt with. I guess GMC is not acknowledging there is an issue as they don't sell enough in the northern areas to worry about due to every vehicle with this engine has this issue. Cheaper to fix than repair permanently. Dealerships are overloaded with this issue. It is not reliable in winter, can't trust a commute, can't take it on a winter vacation. Can't trust it not to freeze up. Too bad, I quite liked it otherwise.
