Basics About the 2022 Terrain
Now in its second generation, the Terrain is a five-seat compact SUV from GMC that has been refreshed for 2022. With a slightly truck-ish design, it stands out from competitors in this category that often tend to look quite similar. It features a rugged front grille and unique C-shaped headlights, and there are four trim levels to choose from. The AT4 trim offers more off-road capability, while the top-end Denali boasts chrome details and a more luxurious interior.
The Terrain’s interior cabin is spacious and comfortable, and there’s more than enough cargo space for hauling weekend gear. Up front, driver controls include a unique push-button transmission that allows for ample space in the center console. The infotainment system runs on a 7.0-inch touchscreen display with clear graphics and menus that are easy to navigate. A head-up display and in-dash navigation system are available options as well.
New Features
GMC has given the Terrain a stylish refresh for 2022. The front end has been updated with a new grille, front bumper, and LED headlights. There are also new 18-inch and 19-inch wheel designs, which pair well with the new off-road AT4 trim that comes with standard all-wheel drive and a front skid plate.
Both the AT4 and SLT trim levels offer an optional Tech Package that includes a surround-view camera system and a head-up display. Moving inside, the interior gets new trim and fabric to jazz up the Terrain’s cabin. The infotainment system gets an upgrade as well, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability now standard.
Engine and Performance
All Terrain models are powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that puts out 170 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque. Paid with a nine-speed automatic transmission, it is available in either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. Its softly sprung suspension means you’ll enjoy a comfortable ride. Steering is responsive and handling is tight with all wheel sizes.
Safety Features
The Terrain received excellent crash test ratings and offers a host of driver assistance features. These include lane keep assist, blind-spot monitors, automatic high beams, and automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection. The top-level Denali trim also gets adaptive cruise control, and it is an available option for all other models.
