Should I Buy the 2023 GMC Terrain?
The GMC Terrain a decent, versatile compact SUV with an easy-to-use multimedia system. The AT4 trim is more about looking rugged than having truly enhanced off-road capability (an underbody skid plate is its only real functional upgrade), but it still offers a distinctive look and feel, as does the ritzy Denali.
