2023 GMC Terrain Denali 4dr SUV AWD (1.5L 4cyl Turbo 9A)
38 of 38 people found this review helpful
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?

2022 GMC Terrain SLT 4dr SUV (1.5L 4cyl Turbo 9A)
108 of 111 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.

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.

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.

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.

2023 GMC Terrain SLE 4dr SUV (1.5L 4cyl Turbo 9A)
58 of 63 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.

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" .

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.

I bought my 2023 Terrain in October 2022. I had to stop at my dealership and my lease was just about up and I was researching the Terrains, because I really liked the looks of them. they had just got some in and one really caught my eye and a little while later I was driving it home. It is loaded, sunroof, heated steering wheel and little touches that I just love, and the black out wheels!!!! I have not one complaint on it and the 1.5 Turbo engine is peppy. I am a older senior citizen and my Terrain AT-4 makes me feel young again!!!!!

I love the car in the sense that it's great gas mileage, looks sharp and drives nice but if you drive through a couple of inches of snow, the snow sticks to the inside of the wheels and you end up with a horrible shake. Poor design on the wheels. Also, the tires that come on the vehicle are horrible! It's unfortunate that you have to purchase snow tires on a leased vehicle. Vehicles sold in the Midwest should come with better all season tires otherwise, you are sliding all over the road in the winter, very scary!

Hit your head getting in or out. Hit your head on the rear lift gate. It’s not hinged high enough. No adjustment. Annoying. Made for a 5 foot tall person. Rides good and has a nice base interior Looks nice with blackout grille and wheels If you pay attention 9th gear is rarely used. Even at higher speeds. Low speed pre ignition gears I’m guessing. Shift buttons are not intuitive. I consider them a hazard compared to the conventional lever. Really stupid. Had this thing almost two years and still don’t like it.

Purchased new 2023 great for about month and then begin to have rattling in the dash and driver's door. Put in the shop twice and was told by two of the service staff "it is a terrain" So they sell something they know has issues and do not disclose this before the purchase. It's back in the shop for the third time. It is under warranty but has under 10,000 miles on it. I bought new so I could drive it, not to have it in the shop more than I drive it.

Electrical Problems Brand New With ONLY 100kms!!

I literally just bought a brand new SLE floor model right off the lot with only 70kms. Drove it home from the dealership 30kms away, and when I started it back up to take it for a spin, my screen is stuck on the backup camera when driving, and the radio won't shut off after I've turned the vehicle off! Have to take it back to the dealership in the morning now, and hope the issue will be fixed and hope it's not a reoccurring problem. Worst experience ever and already regret buying brand new. **Edit: Service at dealership said the issue was caused because the computer system was updating. Still not impressed, however hopefully this is true and there is nothing wrong with the electrical.

I have owned my brand new 2023 denali terrain for 6 weeks now and the radio/sound system has only functioned properly for 1 day (the first day). I've had in in the shop a couple of times and been told that it is awaiting a software update and there's nothing that can be done. this is unacceptable for a brand new car. I was also told that this is a 'known GM issue' which should have been disclosed at the time of purchase.

The leftover 2022 we just purchased is our third Terrain! We love the size and the ride is not bad. I was disappointed to find I couldn’t get the 2.0 turbo with our new terrain! There is a big difference between the two engines for this SUV! But we saved money and have a brand new ride! Road Trips!!!

Overall the terrain is very nice and has all kinds of features. My personal favorite is the memory seats on the SLT trim level. I also really like the gear shift, it's nice having the extra space near the middle concel instead of a large shifter. The tail gate needs a little work for the hands free function,it works but takes a few seconds. The leather seats are a nice touch as well as the leather wrapped steering wheel. The heated seats and heated steering wheel are great features. The not so great stuff is the leg room and cargo space they are adequate but seem smaller and more cramped to me than the equinox. Overall very happy with the suv.

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.

Perfect sized, practical, entry luxury SUV!
Zpilot76, Chattanooga, TN, 06/18/2024
2023 GMC Terrain Denali 4dr SUV AWD (1.5L 4cyl Turbo 9A)
4 of 5 people found this review helpful
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.

Most Honest Review on GMC Terrain AT4 As a GMC Terrain owner of 7 months, I cannot tell you how much I hate the fact that I purchased my Terrain AT4. It should be called a hatchback sedan, not a SUV. Below is my review of the CONS and Pros of this GMC Terrain. CONS MPG for 17500 miles is - 26mpg A roof rack for a vehicle that cannot go off-road does not make sense. Of course, I was charged for all the additional items the dealer put on this non-SUV. Gas tank range - 380 miles, if you are lucky, 387 miles Driving - uneven roads, speed bumps, gravel roads, and dirt roads must be avoided as much as possible while driving this GMC vehicle. This vehicle does not deserve the AT4 tag; if you are a disabled veteran like myself and have chronic pain in your back and legs, driving this vehicle outdoors or off the paved roads will physically hurt you. Towing - GMC mechanics would have to cut the bumper to add a tow bar; installing this system is very expensive. There are almost no accessories or upgraded parts available for this vehicle. Cargo space is horrible - I cannot fit my wheelchair in this vehicle without folding down all the back seats. Heaven forbid I have to take anyone else with me other than my family. No in-cabin air filter - I did not expect this in a non-base model. Does not fit the outdoor lifestyle. Lacks power and responsiveness To make this vehicle off-road worthy would be extremely costly and aggravating. PROS Comfort - the seats are nice, but that is it. The camera system The backing system The safety features

My sister has a Equinox 23 and I have a terrain 2023 is the same thing (in my opinion because I am big guy the gmc seat is more comfort that Equinox) same acceleration same features basically I took the terrain because the style in the front and because I really like that the transmission shift is by bottoms so more space . Not sure why the twin has more rating that this one because again I can compare both models and basically is the same except in seats or style .

Came across this 2022 GMC Terrain SLE with low mileage and many options that we never had before. Many safety features, making driving fun and safe. Came with On Star and all the features offered. So far, we are completely satisfied with the deal we made with Videon.

2022 GMC Terrain Denali 4dr SUV AWD (1.5L 4cyl Turbo 9A)

I have had four GMC Terrains. A 2011, two 2020's and a 2022. The 2011 was very dependable and comfortable. However, it started burning excessive oil and the timing chain had to be replaced. Poor design. The 2020 was sturdy reliable and comfortable. The 1.5l engine is very underpowered, the stereo/touch screen lags and unless you have the Bose system the sound is subpar. The 2022 is not as comfortable. The touch screen lags significantly worse than the 2020. It has intermittent runability problems, the tires (Hankooks) are so bad and shaky I had to replace them. Three different dealers couldn't balance them and GM would not warranty them. Expensive item for a new suv. It has air leaks through the window weather striping. Again I was told by the dealer that it is normal due to soft rubber being used (I have a 1991 Chevy Truck that seals better). The 2.0 l engine isn't available anymore which only leaves the gutless 1.5l as an option. The Bose stereo is the best feature with great sound. GM has really gone downhill on quality. It used to be GM products were superior in quality, but that's a thing of the past. When you combine that with the untrained technicians at the dealerships and the even worse Customer service from GM corporate I will not be purchasing any more of their products. I purchased a new GM vehicle every year up through 2023. Now, because of poor quality, lack of Customer service and their support of gay pride I will be switching to Mazda or Mitsubishi.

Not made for Minnesota winters!

There's nothing but sensor computer and mechanical issues in the winter, it's a 2022, and 5 months after I bought it I was getting service engine light warnings and losing power, we thought we had all that fixed but it's happening again. This is been one of the most frustrating purchases I've ever made when it comes to vehicles! I live in an area where you need reliable transportation so I buy no, so much for the cold Minnesota winters and GMC terrains!
