Denali adds upgraded leather, padded upper IP trim, red stitching, wood steering wheel. The engine that should have been offered from the start.
Signature Denali billet grille. GMC Terrain Denali in its natural habitat: the mall, far from the Alaskan mountains.
Fender bulges channel ghost of Hummer. Silver-painted plastic, switchgear, narrow armrests need an upgrade.
Partially upholstered IP as in the Lexus GS, but with cut lines and stitching that make sense. Approach the car ahead too rapidly, and you'll see this atop the center stack.
Bold grille typical of GMC. Do you prefer this pic, with a blurred background? Or this pic, with the background clearer?
Chunkier, truckier styling than the related Chevrolet Equinox. Not the best setting for a photo. The Compass is ten inches shorter than the Terrain, and looks it.
Less distinctive Chevrolet Equinox. I don't care for how the fenders hunch up over the wheels. The new Terrain's proportions aren't the best.
A lot going on in the rear corners of the GMC. Small rear quarter windows--adjust the mirrors well. Cleaner rear quarters. Note how trim flows across the top of the pillar then around the rear window.
Good materials for the price. Rearward location of the seat heater switches. Where's the shifter? A bit cheaper in feel than the GMC, but how about those red highlights?
GMC likes chunky silver trim. Have you found the shifter? It's a long reach to the transmission's range selector.
Comfortable driver seat The GMC Terrain's rear seat sits higher off the floor than most. Good for adult comfort.
The GMC compensates for merely average cargo capacity with a folding front passenger seat. The only diesel engine available in the class.
Under the cover. Turbo out in front. Unlike most engine covers, this one isn't only there to look pretty; it's got a job to do.
