Additional Description: The 2019 GMC Terrain puts this compact-crossover SUV into the second year of its second generation. Sister to Chevrolet’s Equinox, the Terrain, like other GMC vehicles, is pitched a touch more upmarket. This is demonstrated by the elegant (for a crossover SUV) styling and underlined by the lush Denali trim level. Engines run to a 1.5-liter, 2.0-liter and a 1.6-liter diesel — all turbocharged 4-cylinder units. They’re complemented by a chassis that favors ride comfort over cornering precision, which is as it should be in this kind of vehicle. GMC reduced the size for this generation, so it doesn’t have as much passenger or cargo space as some rivals. Nor do the rear seats slide forward and back, but they fold flat, as does the front-passenger seat. Overall, the 2019 Terrain stands strong against competition like the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4 and Mazda CX-5.
