Name a better way to cruise in the colorful streets of New York than in an all-American crossover with a bold, truck-like styling. The GMC Terrain goes against the trend of the compact SUV class to offer a mature and more aggressive design. It also provides ample passenger and cargo space and impressive standard tech features. Leasing the 2023 GMC Terrain guarantees a well-rounded and comfortable ride. Here’s more on the SUV’s top features.
What’s New?
The Terrain receives minor changes for 2023 with the most significant being the addition of five horses, bringing its four-cylinder engine’s total power output to 175 horsepower. The American automaker has added two new paint colors and upgraded a few optional packages, including the Elevation and Black Diamond Edition packages.
Engine and Transmission
Powering every 2023 GMC Terrain is a 2.5-liter naturally-aspirated four-cylinder engine that churns out 175 hp and 203 pound-feet of torque. The engine is mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive; all-wheel drive is optional. The Terrain accelerates from zero to 60 mph in about 8.8 seconds, which is far from the best we’ve seen in this class. However, the compact GMC is designed for comfort and is also not afraid to get dirty, provided you opt for the off-road-oriented AT4 trim. The Terrain AT4 is equipped with all-wheel drive, sport terrain tires, a front steel skid plate, 7.9 inches of ground clearance and other adventure-centric enhancements.
Fuel Economy
According to EPA, front-wheel-drive Terrain models will return 24 mpg in the city, 29 mpg on the highway, and 26 mpg combined. Choosing all-wheel drive will only reduce the highway rating by 1 mpg.
Interior
Like other GMC models, the 2023 Terrain boasts a spacious and accommodating interior with useful cubby storage spaces. The base trim won’t earn many credits due to its uninspiring build quality, but it changes as you ascend the SUV’s trim levels. Standard features include cloth seats, a six-speaker audio system, and a 7.0-inch infotainment system. Getting the best out of your Terrain entails adding optional features like ambient lighting, a seven-speaker Bose premium audio system, head-up display, perforated leather-appointed seats, wireless charging, an 8.0-inch touchscreen display with navigation, and more.
Safety and Driver Assistance
An extensive suite of driver assistance features is standard including;
- Forward collision alert
- Front pedestrian braking
- Automatic emergency braking
- Lane keep assist with lane departure warning
- Rear vision camera
Many more can be added as options.
