To upgrade performance of the upcoming crossover, engineers had to tune existing drivetrain, since new one is not an option. Same as in previous SUV, 2018 GMC Terrain gets 3.6-l VVT V6 as its power source. We suppose, this time it is going to be few steps closer to deliver 200 hp. Torque is around 250 lb-ft. This power is sent through 6-speed transmission to front wheels by default, or all wheels if that is buyer’s choice. As other mid-size crossovers, new Terrain will sprint to 60 mph in around 7 seconds. US based company recently introduced Fuel-Saving Eco Mode system for better fuel economy. For better performance, ground clearance is increased, which improves stability and handling.

Front is suffering the most changes, including headlights and grille modifications. Grille is again bold, with large, chrome GMC emblems on it. Narrower headlights are making this SUV more aggressive. New crystal rectifier technology applied on lights is improving visibility. Base models are coming with 18-inch wheels, while upper trims use 19- and 20-inchers. Inside, 7-inch display shows most of the situation about new Terrain.
