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.

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

Great styling, very adequate features, and ride. Not like some reviews, not sure what they are comparing to. Bought the 2023 Denali for my wife and she loves it. Some say the powertrain is weak, but I feel it is very well-suited for the size of the car. Comfortable for my 300 lbs and 6'1'', with loads of room for anything in the back. Very happy with only one slight complaint.....road noise from rear tires is a bit loud, could use some deadening foam?

Ingot rid of my 2020 acadia as wife complained too big. Well got a 2022 at4 terrain and wife loves it and really like it too. Going from my 6 cyl in acadia had me worried but that 9 speed tranny takes care of any doubts i had . Shifts smooth , no hunting like my wifes former crv cvt. Mileage is great ,ride solid . Glad we bought and would buy again.

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'm fascinated by the so called professional reviewers and how they evaluate vehicles. I love my terrain. Lots of reasons. The "pros" say it has a weak engine. Yea, I guess so, if your goal is to win a drag race. Most people don't care about that. It has plenty of power...more than the 175 h.p. number would indicate. Soft ride was another negative comment. Again, if you plan want to corner with with the guy next door who has a corvette. I like a soft ride. And by the way, I don't think it's so soft anyhow. My terrain has lots of little things that make it special. Cup holders that sit left and right instead of front to back. Now my wife and I don't have to guess who's drink in in which spot. Hands free liftgate when your hands are full. Heated seats that heat up quickly and can be set to level 3, which is warmer than most. 3 years of onstar came with the purchase. The sticker price is on the high side, but I got a great discount and was very happy. Take that, professional reviewers.

Edmunds needs to do better

2023 GMC Terrain SLE 4dr SUV (1.5L 4cyl Turbo 9A)
29 of 31 people found this review helpful
I was shocked when reading the reviews before I bought this car. Edmunds ranked is extremely low. I've had this car for 2 months and put 3100 miles on it. Here are my pros and cons. Pros: good acceleration from such a small engine, quiet cabin, comfortable seats, easy to use infotainment/Apple CarPlay, smooth ride (even with 19" wheels), optional heated seats on SLE trim give you multiple options (low, medium, high, can do back only if you want heat on just your back) Good price. My dealer had several discounts on this SUV. Cons: rear visibility, extreme wind noise (I do live in Oklahoma, so driving on freeways I might hear more wind noise than other owners in other areas), occasional creak/noise from dash.

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.

Bought mine in Georgia and drove it home to Louisiana!!! 10 hour trip and when I got home there was no discomfort or pain in my back and legs which is highly unusual for me. Nice ride and great handling. When I stuck my foot it in there was no hesitation whatsoever. Would highly recommend to anyone.
