TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 GMC Terrain
| 2012 GMC Terrain Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| 2013 | The GMC Terrain's long wheelbase also pays off with noticeably more rear seat leg room than in competitors. In fact, there's a little more combined legroom in the first two rows than in the far larger Yukon XL, and a few more inches than in the larger Acadia. Sound like enough space to fit a third row? Perhaps, but GM opted not to offer one. The Terrain is thoroughly compact in width. The larger GMCs remain much better options for transporting three adults in the back seat. They're also better for carrying cargo. The Terrain's cargo floor is long, but its also high and narrow, and the second-row seats don't fold flat. see full GMC Terrain review | |

TrueDelta Reviews the Powertrain of the 2012 GMC Terrain

| Year | Comment | |
| 2013 | Even in the Denali, the GMC Terrain's base engine remains a 182-horsepower 2.4-liter four-cylinder. Performance with this engine in typical suburban driving feels considerably better than the specs suggest it ought to. But anyone who must contend with steep grades or large loads, or who sometimes just wants to scoot, will want the optional V6. The 3.0-liter V6 in the 2010-2012 Terrain produced a respectable 264 horsepower, but at a lofty 6,950 rpm. In comparison, the 301-horsepower 3.6-liter V6 isn't only quicker, but even in casual driving sounds and feels much less strained. The slightest hill no longer induces the six-speed automatic to drop a cog or three. Due more credit than the bump in peak power: 50 additional pound-feet of midrange torque (272 @ 4,800 vs. 222 @ 5,100). see full GMC Terrain review | |

| 2012 | 4dr SUV 182-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Although the I4 is quite peppy considering the mass of this truck, the transmission can be very quirky, with odd shifting and the odd bucking on occasion (when in heavy traffic it will kick so hard you almost think somebody hit you from the rear). Sometimes when you go a little hard on it to pull out into a lane it will hesitate and go dead for a couple of seconds, with the electronic shifting it almost seems like it's thinking too much. The other dislike I have is that there is no transmission dipstick- it is a sealed unit so there is no easy way to actually check and monitor transmission fluid. see full GMC Terrain review |
