Video: 2010 GMC Terrain

And the Terrain is related to the Chevy Equinox, Also redesigned, just introduced, actually, not too many auto shows ago. A lot of auto enthusiasts complain about these sort of rebadging efforts, where a company will take a car and then remake it into something else under a different brand that it owns. Well, we're gonna take a look at what's different and what's not between the Terrain and the Equinox, and decide if it really is just a rebadging or if there's something else worth looking at here. (upbeat music) GMC tells us that the Terrain actually has all new body panels versus the Equinox. One of the only things shared between the two vehicles, actually, is the windshield. There's definitely more chrome here. This is a huge grill compared to the Equinox's grill. Big old GMC logo here, headlights kind of tall, look a little bit like the prior generation Honda Pilots. I'm not sure how I feel about these fog lights and kind of their vertical integration here. Come to think of it, this entire, sort of front area, kind of controversial. Rear end definitely different from the Equinox. This is kind of busier look, definitely a stacked appearance here with the horizontal tail lights. Recalls a little bit of the former Buick Rendezvous, actually. A car I'm not even sure Tiger Woods could sell me, but that's because I don't play Scrabble. The cabin looks a little more similar to the Equinox's and that's a good thing. It's an attractive layout. It's got this sort of falling center control panel here. It comes down into the gear shift. The gauges, two of them sit right ahead here. There's this sort of stick out hump here that houses them. Materials are okay. The dashboard has hard touch plastics. They look good. There's a nice sort of stitched area here over the gauges. The arm rests are kind of hard and the door panels are as well. Some low rent areas there. The glove compartment, pretty big. Same deal with the center console here. This actually is narrow but very deep. Probably could fit a laptop or something in there. Seats, again, shared with the Equinox basically. Plenty of room. Good thigh support in both the first and second rows. Here's something cool about the second row. It's adjustable. It moves forward and backwards. Unfortunately it only does so as one piece, but when you fold the seat down and you've got it pulled forward, in a lot of cars, there's a gap here in the load floor. It can swallow up some stuff as you're trying to pull them back and forth. GM has this sort of shelf here, this plastic shelf that travels along with the seat and covers the gap. Works out in the Equinox, works again in the Terrain. (upbeat music) So to answer the question, outside, very different look than the Equinox. Inside, much more similar. A lot of the same strengths, in fact, as the Equinox has overall. That may not necessarily be a bad thing. The Equinox, for a small SUV, has a four cylinder engine that could get up to 30 miles per gallon highway. Terrain we'll have the same drive train. Very impressive, probably worth checking out if you can handle the styling. <v Announcer>For more car related news, go to cars.com or our blog, kickingtires.net.
