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!!

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

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!

2024 GMC Terrain SLT 4dr SUV AWD (1.5L 4cyl Turbo 9A)

Car constantly has a vibration and dealer just says that's how Terrains are and front doors have sharp corners. My mom and her neighbor have both been cut by the doors. GM keeps saying that they are going to help but months later my mom has a vibrating new car that makes her feet and hands go numb from the vibration and she is now nursing a wound from the door.

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.
