GMC FORGES NEW GROUND WITH ALL-NEW 2010 TERRAIN CROSSOVER SUV
GMC's all-new 2010 Terrain is a five-passenger crossover SUV that blends bold styling with fuel efficiency and premium features.
A new, 2.4L four-cylinder engine that features direct injection delivers the best-in-segment highway fuel consumption of 6.1 L/100 km. Lower fuel consumption is achieved in part with an "eco" mode that is activated via a console-mounted button. When engaged, it lowers the torque converter lockup speed to 1,125 rpm to help save fuel on models equipped with the 2.4L engine.
A 3.0L DOHC direct injected V-6 engine delivering 264 horsepower (197 kW) will be optional. Both engines are mated to efficiency-enhancing six-speed automatic transmissions and offer a refined, confident driving experience.
Front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive models are offered in SLE and SLT trim levels. A comprehensive list of standard and available features includes purposeful technologies such as:
- Standard rear-vision camera
- Programmable power rear liftgate
- Bluetooth hands-free phone capability
- MultiFlex sliding rear seat that increases passenger comfort or provides optimal cargo space
- Remote vehicle start
- USB audio connectivity; MP3 playback
- Seven-inch touch screen navigation system and a 40-gigabyte hard drive
- DVD-based rear-seat entertainment system with two independent screens
- Standard OnStar.
Segment-best safety is anticipated, with features that include four-wheel disc brakes with StabiliTrak electronic stability control, traction control, panic brake assist and hill start assist as well as six standard air bags: dual frontal air bags; head curtain side air bags and pelvic/thorax seat-mounted side air bags. OnStar with one-year Safe and Sound service is also standard.
Bold styling
Terrain has a balanced, athletic stance and offers a commanding view of the road. Its design is characterized by bold, muscular fender flares, representing GMC's aesthetic. Surfacing is angular yet refined, with a strong and capable front-end appearance that features precise, squared-off edges.
Additional design features include a unique, three-element grille that is accented by a prominent chrome surround and projector-beam headlamps mounted in large, rectangular housings with chrome accents.
Interior details and flexibility
The Terrain's rich, premium interior is influenced by industrial sculpture and exudes refinement exemplified by contrasting stitching and fine materials that create a structured look throughout the cabin. A "floating" centre stack, highlighted by warm ambient lighting, houses ergonomic comfort and convenience controls.
The Terrain also features great attention to detail, with smart use of storage space and compartments that are suitable for a variety of items. They include an oversized glove box, a closed storage area in the instrument panel above the centre stack, a closed storage compartment under the centre armrest large enough for a laptop computer, and two-tier storage in the doors.
Terrain's seats were developed to provide outstanding comfort. The standard MultiFlex sliding rear seat can be moved fore or aft nearly 200 mm (eight inches), providing increased passenger comfort or greater rear cargo capacity. The 60/40-split rear seatback offers additional configurations for passengers and cargo. The rear cargo area offers 894 litres (31.6 cubic feet) of storage, as well as one of the Terrain's four auxiliary power outlets.
Confident and agile driving experience
Two new engines are offered on all Terrain models, each with fuel-saving direct injection and variable valve timing technology. Vehicle highlights include:
- New 3.0L DOHC direct injected V-6 engine rated at 264 horsepower (197 kW), which delivers 8.0 L/100 km on the highway and 12.1 L/100 km in the city
- New 2.4L Ecotec direct injected I-4 engine rated at 182 horsepower (136 kW), which delivers 6.1 L/100 km on the highway and 9.2 L/100 km in the city. AWD models are estimated at 6.9 L/100 km highway and 10.1 L/100 km in the city.
- Highway driving range of 1,166 km with the 2.4L engine and more than 975 kms with the 3.0L engine mean less-frequent fill-ups
The powertrains are mounted on a rigid, body-integral structure, with single-piece body side stampings and targeted applications of high-strength steel. It is the foundation of a confident driving experience that is both smooth and responsive.
GM's first application of Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) technology is used on 2.4L-equipped models. ANC uses microphones to detect booming sounds inside the vehicle and sends counteracting sound waves through the audio system's speakers, ensuring a quiet driving experience at almost all vehicle speeds.
The Terrain rides on a 2,857 mm (112.5-inch) wheelbase and features a four-wheel independent suspension system, with wide front and rear tracks that enhance ride and handling. A family of 17-inch, 18-inch aluminum and 19-inch chrome-clad wheels is available.
GMC Terrain is produced at the CAMI assembly facility in Ingersoll, Ontario.
