A Reliable, Efficient, and Potent Powertrain

At the heart of the Terrain is an efficient yet powerful 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that balances performance with efficiency. The Terrain comes in both FWD and AWD configurations. The standard FWD version features a continuously variable transmission while producing 175 horsepower and 184 foot-pounds of torque. The AWD version includes an 8-speed automatic transmission and generates 175 horsepower and 203 foot-pounds of torque.

Practical Capabilities for Moving People and Gear

Like many SUVs, the Terrain is built to move people and gear thanks to its versatile interior space and payload capabilities. The cabin can comfortably seat up to five adults, and there is a dedicated 29.8 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seat. When more space is needed, the rear seat can be conveniently stowed to create 63.5 cubic feet of payload area. The FWD version can also tow up to 800 pounds, while the AWD can tow 1,500 pounds.

Excellent Fuel Efficiency

The Terrain strikes a balance between performance, versatility, and fuel efficiency. The FWD configuration has an estimated combined fuel efficiency of 27 MPG, with an efficiency rating of 26 MPG in the city and 28 MPG on the highway. The AWD version also gets excellent mileage without sacrificing horsepower and torque. It has a combined fuel efficiency of 25 MPG, as it is rated for 25 MPG under city driving conditions and 28 on the open road.  

Strong Safety Features Protect Occupants   

Safety is a concern for any SUV driver, and the Terrain offers a strong standard list of safety features that help prevent accidents while protecting occupants if a collision happens. Those features include a forward collision alert, enhanced automatic emergency braking, an HD rear vision camera, a following distance indicator, airbags, rear cross traffic braking, bicycle and pedestrian braking, lane keep assist, and blind zone steering assist.
