Terrain is essentially a tarted-up version of the Chevrolet Equinox and Saturn Vue crossovers--and there’s nothing wrong with that. The Terrain’s brash styling, strong stance and bold grille make the five-passenger vehicle seem far larger than it actually is, and larger than its siblings. We can’t say we’re completely enamored with the look, especially out back where it resembles a Toyota Sienna minivan more than an aggressive SUV.
Underneath, everything is the same as the Equinox/Vue, including the 2.4-liter, 182-hp, 174-lb-ft inline four cylinder, and the uplevel 3.0-liter, 264-hp, 222-lb-ft V6. Both are offered in front- or all-wheel drive and six-speed automatic transmissions. Fuel economy is estimated at up to 30 mpg on the highway with the four-cylinder, front-drive model. At the low end, the V6 AWD hits an estimated 17 mpg city and 24 mpg highway.
Terrain offers an impressive array of equipment, including a standard rear vision camera, power rear liftgate that is programmable to stop at a pre-specified height, and active noise cancellation on four-cylinder models to counteract low booming sounds in the cabin.
