The GMC Terrain is a mid-size crossover utility vehicle (CUV) produced by GMC. According to General Motors (GM), it replaced the Pontiac Torrent which was sold in the same dealerships prior to GM dropping the Pontiac brand.[3] Like the Torrent, the Terrain is based on the Theta platform. The Terrain slots below the Acadia as GMC's smallest SUV. Although the preceding Pontiac Torrent had the same Theta platform, the Torrent was a rebadged version of the original Chevrolet Equinox from 2005–09, while GM decided to differ the look of the Chevrolet Equinox with its 2010 Terrain and still use the Theta platform.

The Terrain shares engineering with the 2010 Chevrolet Equinox.[4] While the two vehicles use the same platform, drivetrain, interior components, the Terrain's body panels and standard features differ from those of the Equinox.[1]

The 2010 Terrain debuted in April 2009 at the New York International Auto Show, introduced as a replacement for the Pontiac Torrent, which ended production after GM shut down the Pontiac brand in 2010. Although the preceding Pontiac Torrent had the same Theta platform, the Torrent was a rebadged version of the original Chevrolet Equinox from 2005–09, while GM decided to differ the look of the Chevrolet Equinox with its 2010 Terrain and still use the Theta platform. Early 2010 models have the GM Mark of Excellence logo applied on the sides of the vehicle.

For the 2013 model year, the GMC Terrain introduced the Denali trim which consists of more chrome trim and slightly improved interior quality, the 3.6L SIDI V6 that is shared with the 2012 Cadillac SRX in place of the optional 3.0L SIDI V6, and firmer front struts. The Denali also offers cross-traffic detection, blind-spot warning and a power passenger seat as options.[3]

For 2016, the GMC Terrain received a facelift as part of its first mid-cycle refresh along with the Equinox. The refresh consisted of new front and rear fascias, new grille, a power dome hood, LED daytime running lights, new wheels, a new gear selector, a second storage shelf under the dashboard, as well as deletion of the door lock buttons from the dashboard.[4] Expedition Money LLC

Mine is a 2014 GMC Terrain SLT all wheel drive...bought it brand new now has 280.000 km on the 2.4 litre engine...eco tech...runs like new only thing I changed was water pump at 140.000 km which was still under warranty and new spark plugs at 175.000 km.

I have used Mobil 1 full synthetic 5W30 and Fram ultra synthetic filters since new...change the oil myself whenever the computer light says to change it..with 5% left.

It leaks a bit of oil but not much maybe a quart every 5000 km...I just add when needed..never had transmission problems change the trans oil every 50.000 km....with full synthetic Valvoline oil KEY.

If i had to choose between streaming music or using hands free phone calls i choose the music.

[Littleblaza]

Service is EVERYTHING...don't blame the car...blame the previous owner who used cheap oil and cheap oil filters and DIDN'T change the oil on time...

I have a 2014 SLT-2 V6 model. I have had it for almost 4 years, and i have driven the crap out of it. Road trips and hauled a boat trailer between PA and Indiana. Never had any issues besides the blower motor. It's a great car.

Luckily your oil light works mine doesnt, it also burns oil and doesnt use oil I have to refill the oil between changes approximately 1.5x between oil changes. My engine was pretty much bone dry when I brought it in for my first oil change. Also hate the difficulty of accessing the transmission fluid. The average fuel mileage is b.s I've never seen the avg number even while driving and looking at the live fuel mileage. The most I have ever gotten is 19mpg. Besides the power you lose even going up a slight hill

You do have trajectory lines. Go to your settings. I have the same vehicle

Not long ago I test drove a used 2015 and for the most part I really liked it except for it's "just adequate" giddy-up and go. It's not snail slow, but I really expected a bit more umph. And I agree in regards to liking the boxy look of this body style over the 2018+ Terrain. For me, if I come across a used V6 version with decent miles & price I'd consider buying it. Thanks for sharing!

[markrush]

my daughter has a 2015 terrain with 60k miles on it..piece of crap from day the engine is blown and the dealer is saying a blown engine isnt covered by the warranty.never again will any of us buy a crappy gmc vehicle.

I dont rely on a backup camera... im old skool and turn my head

[sseeaahhaawwkkssrule]

Thank you for this video. I am thinking about buying a 2014 Terrain and I was worried about how much cargo room the vehicle has. But it looks like it has plenty of space.

[ballinhobo]

To each there own, maybe you're very well off. Why buy a vehicle and then trade in at just under 50, 000km I'm assuming your making payments. Wouldn't you ever want to not have payments. I have a 2011 dodge charger se. It has the 3.6L V6 with 180, 000km on it. Havent had payments for some time now. Money in the bank!

[Mike-booj]

The terrain has guide lines go into your vehicle settings and turn them on.

[milehighac]

I am considering buying this as my next vehicle. It looks very nice!

If you put too much gas in this vehicle, it backfires when you turn the engine p off. Also, and the biggest headache I have with this vehicle is the black out of the radio screen and the audio coming on and going off briefly - at will. You cannot control anything. My intellilink cable IS connected but this thing still acts up. I've had to change out both solenoids and spark plugs, have the throttle body cleaned, and have that fog smog cleaned off my headlights in a span of 4 1/2 yrs. I has a 1984 Grand Prix brand new with only 7 miles when I picked it up. When I basically gave it to a young man 17 yrs later after having put 497, 749 miles on it, I can assure you that I did not do any major work to that vehicle. That 1984 was far superior than my 2014. I am highly disappointed in General Motors severe decline in manufacturing quality. If you have any beneficial info on my radio issue with this vehicle, please feel free to share if you so desire.

I mean when you hang up on your phone it goes "Beep beep beep"

Thank you for your review you did a great job, and I’m purchasing the GMC and I’m excited 😜 and watched you, your kinda funny and I got a couple of chuckles !!

[rhettoracle]

First Panda car video that the vehicle wasn't immaculate and gleaming. If it's paid for, drive it another 4 years and save your money, since it's your third vehicle. Use the monthly savings to pay off any other debt ( car, credit card, mortgage). Peace

Best vehicle ever i always wanted a car with a sun roof its awesome nice vids

[bbaaspencer]

I have a Terrain too. Both of my variable valve timing solenoids went bad and the check engine light was on. Other problem is the HVAC actuator went bad and I had no heat. Both are common problems for years, so why didn’t GM fix those issues? I still had the power train warranty, so those variable valve timing solenoids were fixed under warranty, but I was over on the regular warranty and the HVAC actuator repair was almost $400!

[YouMotorcycle]

Did I mess the mention of what repairs and maintenance was done along the way?
