Love this SUV!

I traded in a 2015 GMC Acadia for a 2019 GMC Terrain, because the GMC Acadia was to much wasted space that I didn't need or use.I wanted a smaller SUV. This is a perfect fit for me it has enough power, very comfortable and excellent on gas. I love how different it looks next to every other common looking SUV.

Car is great. Sleek and smooth as well as style.

This vehicle met all of our needs. AWD, crossover size with some personality. We needed more room in a vehicle and this took care of that quickly.

Most unreliable car I’ve ever owned

I currently drive a 2019 Terrain. In less than a year, it had to be towed twice because of engine failure. Also had to respond to 5 recalls. Fun fact: I am writing this review from the dealership, where I am waiting for it because of a situation with the front axle. My advise... STAY AWAY FROM THE GMC TERRAIN!!!

This vehicle is not only pretty but safe!

Owned one previously that was totaled in a crash but we were all ok thanks to the safety features on this car! Replaced it with the exact same one!

LOVE THIS SUV!!

This is my first SUV and I was worried I would struggle to drive it, NOT SO! The Terrain is stylish, has great utility and is SO easy to drive. Best decision I've made! Will be a GMC Terrain girl for the foreseeable future as our family grows. :)

Great vehicle so far.

Purchased a 2019 GMC Terrain Denali. I have had it just about a month. Drives great! Very comfortable. Loaded with every option you can think of. I would definitely recommend this vehicle.

Easy and fun to drive!

As a small person, this is easy to handle, but not as small as an Encore. I like the roomy trunk area. Wouldn't necessarily choose the push button shift , but keyless is convenient.

TRANSMISSION BURNED UP @ CARWASH IN NEUTRAL

ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE , SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL WHILE THE TRANSMISSION WAS TRANSITIONING FROM AUTO STOP TO AUTO START MODE . THIS CAN HAPPEN IF THE DRIVER TAKES THIER FOOT OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN THEY ARE SHIFTING GEARS INTO NEUTRAL [ GOING THROUGH THE CAR WASH TUNNEL ; BEING PULLED BY A ROLLING CHAIN DRIVE SYSTEM ]
