## The GMC Terrain: A Compact SUV Blending Style and Utility

The GMC Terrain, introduced in 2010 for the 2011 model year, marked a significant shift in GMC's product lineup. This compact SUV aimed to offer a more stylish and fuel-efficient alternative to the larger and more traditional SUVs in GMC's portfolio. Built on GM's Theta platform, the Terrain shared its underpinnings with the Chevrolet Equinox and Buick Encore, but offered a distinctively rugged and refined design. The Terrain boasted a sculpted exterior with bold lines and a commanding presence, complemented by a spacious and comfortable interior with high-quality materials and thoughtful features. The vehicle was available in a variety of trim levels, from the base SLE to the luxurious SLT, offering customers a range of options to suit their needs and budget.

Under the hood, the GMC Terrain was powered by a choice of two engines: a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine delivering 182 horsepower and 172 lb-ft of torque, or a more powerful 3.0-liter V6 engine producing 264 horsepower and 222 lb-ft of torque. Both engines were mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, providing smooth and responsive acceleration. The Terrain offered impressive fuel economy for its size, achieving up to 22 mpg city and 32 mpg highway with the four-cylinder engine. Its standard front-wheel drive system could be upgraded with an optional all-wheel drive system, enhancing its capability in challenging conditions. The GMC Terrain's blend of style, versatility, and fuel efficiency quickly made it a popular choice among SUV buyers, establishing it as a strong contender in the competitive compact SUV segment.
