I purchased my Terrain new 16 months ago and the Fuel Pump Modul went out which is when I discovered you can not put the vehicle in Neutral during a breakdown. Luckily we were in a big enough parking lot that the other vehicles could get around us. My biggest issue with this is the hazard that this could cause. There is no way to get this vehicle off the road in a breakdown situation. I spoke to the deal when getting the repair work done and there response was, ya it's a bad design. I'll say its a major safety issue. FYI - I also confirmed that there is no override for this.

I bought the 2023 terrain in January of this year. It has been good on gas but other than that I'm not impressed. The car is noisy. The service ESC message has turned on as well as the service engine light. First and last time buying a GMC. I'm getting ready to retire soon and this WAS to be the vehicle to keep for a long time.

2023 GMC Terrain Denali 4dr SUV AWD (1.5L 4cyl Turbo 9A)

Bought a new 2023 GMC Terrain Denali AWD SUV last summer & absolutely love this vehicle. As the Denali trim, it IS entry level luxury. My Denali is summit white w/ the light platinum perforated leather interior. Sharp color combination & keeps me cool during the hot summers here in the south. Speaking of keeping cool, the Terrain sure does have a strong AC! The Terrain is not a Jeep for off roading, but on forest trails and inclement weather, the AWD sure provides a significant increase in traction & safety. The Denali comes standard w/ the Bose upgraded sound system which is quite good. Love the wireless Apple Car Play & tech features. Safety features abound in this little SUV. The hatch area is more then enough for when my wife & I travel. A neat feature is that there are like three levels for cargo. Bottom level is the spare tire, mid level is a large covered compartment, and the main level is for the majority of your cargo. Very practical. PROS: Lots of cubbys throughout the vehicle to store items like sunglasses, tissues, etc Very strong A/C, heated seats & steering wheel Strong, good sound system Very practical for carrying both people & cargo Nice sharp style Strong headlights + foglights Decent gas mileage (averaging ~26-27mpg overall) CONS: engine is a bit weak when tasked w/ overtaking some hard plastic trim like on the A-pillar which rattles sometimes (inconsistent) only the drivers PW is Auto Up/Down (most entry level luxury cars have all 4 PW Auto up/Down) Overall, I'm exceptionally glad that I bought this vehicle & plan to keep it for many years. Even though the engine is a bit weak at higher speeds, around town w/ the 9 speed automatic, it does just fine. And the Terrain Denali is actually FUN to drive!!

I fell in love with the look from the outside. I did my research, but what they don’t tell you is what go me. I have 5k mi on my new 23 Terrain and I have averaged 24 mpg with the majority of my driving on hwy. I traded my Acura MDX with a 3.5 V6 for this and I am getting the same mpg with a vehicle thats 1/2 the size and 1/2 the power (shows you comparison for same areas and the way I drove before and after) I used to stop 1x a week for gas and 4x is not out of the ordinary since I got the Terrain. Size of the tank does not support mpg, the true mpg. I am an aggressive driver and I am always in a hurry, but I am not peeling out or racing every where I go. I shouldn’t have to drive like a grandma to get “average mpg” that a vehicle is rated for. The 23 is a slightly Different engine than the previous year models. Please separate the ratings and comments. They should not be lumped together. Very frustrated buyer and frustrated researcher bec everything is grouped with past year models!

The SLT has all the equipment you really need, it's reasonably good looking but the engine although quiet is very underpowered, the transmission needs to change 2 or 3 ratios each time you put your foot down. It will accelerate but it's not a nice experience.

As long as the road is perfect, it drives and handles well. As soon as there are ANY imperfections - or heaven forbid an unpaved road - it becomes a disaster zone. My stiffened Civic Si is more comfortable. An F.

High hopes, but the pushbutton gear shift was just too difficult to adjust to, and the interior felt cheap, despite the upgrades.
