Performance & Capability
Under the hood of this 2022 GMC Terrain FWD SLE lies a balanced 1.5L I-4 gasoline direct injection engine. This intercooled turbo powerplant is designed for efficiency and responsiveness, delivering 170HP that makes merging onto the highway or navigating city traffic feel effortless. Paired with a 9-Speed Automatic transmission, the driving experience is exceptionally smooth, utilizing electronic transmission control and a lock-up torque converter to optimize gear changes.
The Front Wheel Drive system is complemented by a Driver selectable drivetrain mode, allowing you to adapt the vehicle's behavior to the current road conditions. For those long drives through the changing elevations of the region, the 9-speed automatic includes overdrive and a selectable mode to ensure you stay in the power band. The mechanical foundation is built for comfort, featuring an Independent front suspension with struts and a Multi-link rear suspension, which work together to soak up road imperfections. Furthermore, the Auto stop-start engine technology helps conserve fuel during frequent stops in downtown traffic, while the 1.5L Turbo DOHC 4-Cylinder design ensures you have the necessary punch when you need to accelerate.
Technology & Connectivity
Staying connected while exploring the outskirts of Traverse City, MI, is simple thanks to the integrated GMC Infotainment Audio System. This system features a 7 inch primary display with a responsive touchscreen interface that serves as your central hub for entertainment and communication. With Wireless Apple CarPlay and Wireless Android Auto, you can seamlessly mirror your smartphones interface for access to music, contacts, and messaging without the clutter of cables.
The cabin is equipped with 4 USB ports, including 2 USB Data Ports w/Auxiliary Input Jack in the front, ensuring everyone's devices stay charged. Drivers will appreciate the 4.2in Multi-Color Driver Information Screen located in the gauge cluster, providing essential vehicle data at a glance. For those who value high-quality sound, the 6-Speaker Audio System Feature includes an Automatic audio equalizer to maintain crisp acoustics. Additionally, Bluetooth handsfree wireless device connectivity and Steering wheel mounted audio controls allow you to manage your media and calls while keeping your focus firmly on the road ahead.
Comfort & Interior
The interior of the Terrain SLE is a masterclass in functional design, featuring Jet Black Premium cloth front seat upholstery that is as durable as it is comfortable. The 8-Way Power Driver Seat Adjuster and Power Driver Lumbar Control allow you to find the perfect position for long-distance travel. On chilly mornings, the Heated driver and front passenger seats provide immediate warmth, while the Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control ensures both the driver and passenger stay comfortable at their preferred temperatures.
Versatility is a core strength of this cabin, highlighted by the 60-40 folding rear seats and a Fold flat front passenger seat, which allows you to transport longer items like outdoor gear or home improvement supplies. The Power Programmable Rear Liftgate offers easy access to the cargo area, which features a Carpet cargo area floor and Cargo tie downs to secure your belongings. Inside, you will also find Chrome and metal-look interior accents that add a touch of sophistication, while the Auto-dimming rear view mirror and Remote Start system add layers of daily convenience that make every departure more pleasant.
Safety & Driver Assistance
Safety is paramount in the 2022 GMC Terrain, which comes equipped with the GMC Pro Safety Plus suite. This comprehensive package includes Forward Collision Alert with Automatic Braking and Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning to help you stay aware of your surroundings. For highway driving, the Adaptive Cruise Control with stop and go functionality maintains a safe distance from the vehicle ahead, while the Following Distance Indicator provides real-time feedback on your spacing.
Navigating tight parking spots is made easier with Rear Park Assist sensors and the Rear Vision Camera. The vehicle also features Lane Change Alert w/Side Blind Zone Alert and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert to monitor areas that are difficult to see. In the event of an emergency, the Safety Alert Seat provides haptic feedback to warn the driver of potential hazards. The structural safety is bolstered by 6 airbags, including Curtain first and second-row overhead airbags, and 4-wheel antilock (ABS) brakes with Brake assist to provide confident stopping power in various weather conditions.
Exterior & Design
Wrapped in a crisp Summit White, the exterior of this Terrain exudes a clean, modern aesthetic. The Black grille with chrome surround provides a bold face, while the LED low and high beam headlights and LED daytime running lights ensure excellent visibility and a distinctive light signature. The vehicle sits on 17 inch x 7 inch Silver Painted Aluminum Wheels, which strike a balance between style and ride quality.
Functional design elements are integrated throughout the exterior, such as the Roof-Mounted Luggage Rack Side Rails for extra carrying capacity and a Rear lip spoiler for a touch of athletic flair. The Outside Heated Power-Adjustable Mirrors include Turn signal indicators, adding both safety and convenience during the winter months. With Deep tinted windows for privacy and Body-colored door handles, every detail of the Terrain SLE has been considered to create a cohesive and premium look that stands out whether parked at a local trailhead or a waterfront restaurant.
