Terrain lineup at a glance
The 2016 Terrain is offered in front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive models,
in SL, SLE and SLT trim levels, as well as the Denali. All models include fourwheel disc brakes with StabiliTrak electronic stability control and traction
control, as well as six standard air bags: dual frontal air bags, head curtain
side air bags and pelvic/thorax seat-mounted side air bags.
All models seat five and the GM-exclusive MultiFlex sliding rear seat is
standard. The interior also offers up to 31.6 cubic feet (894 liters) of cargo
space behind the rear seat and 63.9 cubic feet (1,809 liters) with the rear
seat folded.
The standard Ecotec 2.4L direct-injected engine delivers an EPA-estimated 32
mpg on the highway (FWD models). A direct-injected 3.6L V-6 is available
and delivers best-in-class 301 horsepower (225 kW) and 272 lb-ft of torque
(369 Nm). The V-6 engine also enables a trailering capacity of up to 3,500
pounds (1,588 kg).
Available GMC IntelliLink offers OnStar with 4G LTE connectivity and built-in
Wi-Fi hotspot. It provides a mobile hub for drivers and passengers to stay
connected. The hotspot is on whenever the car is on and comes with a threemonth/3GB data trial (whichever comes first).
Terrain also offers a programmable power liftgate (standard on Denali,
available on SLT), with a memory function that stops the liftgate at a chosen
height to help shorter drivers or accommodate low garage heights.
In addition to available Side Blind Zone Alert and Rear Cross Traffic Alert
safety features, Terrain offers Rear Park Assist, Forward Collision Alert and
Lane Departure Warning as part of comprehensive safety packages.
Terrain Denali
The Terrain Denali brings an exceptional level of style, power and refinement
to the segment. Unique exterior and interior appointments, exclusive wheels
and design cues set it apart from competitors. A chrome grille, body-color
fascias and rocker moldings, satin-chrome accents, specific headlamp and
taillamp designs, and dual chrome-finish exhaust outlets (single outlet with
the 2.4L) convey a look of superior finishes. Denali-specific 18-inch (with the
2.4L) or 19-inch (with the 3.6L) wheels complete its sculpted appearance.
Interior highlights offer a sophisticated feel with soft-touch Jet Black leather
lining the seats and door inserts. Denali-exclusive touches such as contrast
stitching, along with a soft-touch instrument panel and leather-wrapped
steering wheel with smoked mahogany wood accents, contribute to a
luxurious interior.
Additional cabin details include:
• Embossed Denali logos on front seatbacks
• Smoked mahogany wood trim accents
• Denali illuminated front sill plates
• Eight-way power driver and passenger seat
• Standard sunroof.
Dual-flow dampers are exclusive to the Terrain Denali’s suspension system
and provide a smoother ride and improved handling by controlling
suspension dampening across a broader range of driving conditions.
Exceptional safety features on the Terrain Denali include the standard
Forward Collision Alert and Lane Departure Warning systems, which use a
single-camera crash-avoidance system to visually and audibly warn drivers
when a collision is imminent or the vehicle crosses a lane marker. The Side
Blind Zone Alert and Rear Cross Traffic Alert, also standard, use radar
technology to watch spots the driver may not be able to see and provide
visible and audible warnings to help avoid collisions.
With the touch of a button, Terrain Denali drivers can access several
convenience features, such as a programmable power liftgate, which allows
access to the vehicle’s 63.9 cubic feet (1,810 liters) of cargo space behind
the first row, while a memory function stops the liftgate at a chosen height to
help shorter drivers or accommodate low garage heights. Other technology
available on Terrain Denali includes color touch navigation and a rear-seat
entertainment system.
Terrain interior features
Inside the Terrain’s spacious cabin, premium interior features have been
designed with high standards of functionality and materials that exude a
commanding and structured feel.
The standard and segment-exclusive MultiFlex sliding rear seat can be moved
fore or aft nearly 8 inches (200 mm), providing increased passenger comfort
– including 39.9-inches (1,013mm) of legroom – or greater rear cargo
capacity, while the 60/40-split rear seatback offers additional configurations
for passengers and cargo. The rear cargo area offers 31.6 cubic feet (894
liters) of storage, as well as one of the Terrain’s four auxiliary power outlets.

Terrain Denali is offered in Jet Black and new Light Titanium/Jet Black.
IntelliLink and OnStar 4G LTE
GMC IntelliLink is offered on SLE, SLT and Denali. It combines with OnStar to
bring segment-exclusive infotainment technology to Terrain at a time when
more and more consumers are buying smartphones. IntelliLink extends the
OnStar experience from safety and security to information and entertainment
by seamlessly integrating the capability of a smartphone into the vehicle so
that hand-held phones may be safely stowed while driving.
Text Messaging Alerts and Siri Eyes Free features aid drivers with the latest
in technology. With Text Messaging Alerts, the driver can be alerted to new
messages and can have them read aloud, view and respond to them
(functionality depends on the smartphone). Siri Eyes Free enables iPhone4S
and later users to access Siri via the steering wheel controls and check
calendar entries, have text messages read and respond to them, place calls
or call up music.
Android phone users can also use the steering wheel controls to access their
phone’s voice recognition features.
Additional IntelliLink features include:
• Hands-free voice control system powered by Nuance®, which allows
simple voice commands to initiate phone calls and select radio stations
or media from portable MP3 players and smartphones.
• Pandora Internet radio and Stitcher SmartRadio allow users to create
personalized radio stations based on favorite artists or genres.
IntelliLink integrates control of both of these apps for a driver-directed
listening experience.
• Gracenote® identifies the music collection on the driver’s USB device,
MP3 player or smart phone and presents information such as artist
name, genres and album cover art on the IntelliLink screen.
• USB connectivity adds the ability to play music files directly from flash
memory devices, and gives the customer the ability to update
IntelliLink with future enhancements.
GMC’s Color Touch navigation radio features a touch-screen control that
incorporates all of the IntelliLink features and more. It is available on SLE-2,
SLT models and Terrain Denali. SiriusXM Satellite Radio (with three-month
trial period) is standard on all models.
Complementing IntelliLink to enhance Terrain’s connectivity is new OnStar
with 4G LTE and standard built-in Wi-Fi hotspot. It provides a mobile hub for
drivers and passengers to stay connected. The hotspot is on whenever the
vehicle is on and comes with a three-month/three-gigabyte data trial.
4G LTE is the most current and fastest mobile data network – 10 times faster
than 3G and 100 times faster than the previous generation of OnStar
hardware. And with OnStar, it also offers stronger, broader coverage than
smartphones on the same network and it’s easy to use: If the vehicle is on,
the connection is on.
At the time of purchase, six months of OnStar Guidance plan includes all of
OnStar’s advisor-based safety and security features, including Automatic
Crash Response and Stolen Vehicle Assistance, as well as turn-by-turn
navigation.
Five years of OnStar Basic Plan includes RemoteLink Key Fob Services,
allowing owners to remotely start and lock/unlock a car (if properly
equipped), and activate the horn and lights from anywhere with a data
connection. It also includes OnStar Vehicle Diagnostics, which runs monthly
checks of a vehicle’s engine, transmission, anti-lock brakes and more, and
Dealer Maintenance Notification, which sends diagnostic report directly to a
preferred dealer to simplify service scheduling.
Powertrain details
GMC Terrain’s standard Ecotec 2.4L engine and available 3.6L V-6 feature
fuel-saving direct injection and continuously variable valve timing. The 2.4L
delivers 182 horsepower (136 kW) with an EPA-estimated highway fuel
economy rating of 32 mpg (FWD models).
The 3.6L is rated at 301 horsepower (224 kW) and 272 lb-ft of torque (369
Nm) and uses lightweight components that contribute to the Terrain’s fuel
efficiency while boosting horsepower. An integrated cylinder head/exhaust
manifold design saves about 13 pounds compared to a non-integrated
design, while a composite intake manifold saves about 5.5 pounds vs. an
aluminum intake. Additionally, a lightweight structural front cover and highstrength connecting rods save additional weight.
An efficient six-speed automatic transmission is standard on all models and
an “Eco” transmission mode on 2.4L-equipped models alters shift points to
improve fuel economy.
Chassis and suspension
Terrain engineers have ensured a smooth, quiet ride by building on a bodyintegral structure with single-piece body side stampings and targeted
applications of high-strength steel. The strong structure supports a fourwheel independent suspension system that – with a long, 112.5-inch (2,857
mm) wheelbase and wide front and rear tracks – contributes to car-like ride
and handling traits. The long wheelbase and wide tracks reduce body roll for
a more stable driving experience.
Additional features include:
• Rack-mounted ZF Steering Systems electric power steering gear on
2.4L-equipped models; hydraulic power rack-and-pinion steering on
3.6L V-6-equipped models
• Available all-wheel drive
• Standard StabiliTrak electronic stability control helps keep the vehicle
in its intended path in the event of an emergency maneuver
• Standard four-wheel anti-lock brakes with traction control.
Safety and crash-avoidance features
Superior safety features are a cornerstone attribute of the GMC Terrain. Built
on a solid structure that includes strategic applications of high-strength steel
to protect occupants in the event of a crash, the Terrain is equipped with
several safety components to avoid crashes or protect occupants in the event
of one, including:
• Six standard air bags including dual frontal air bags, head curtain side
air bags and pelvic/thorax seat-mounted side air bags
• Standard four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes with Electronic Brake Force
Distribution, StabiliTrak electronic stability control, traction control and
rollover mitigation.
• Standard rear-vision camera that helps drivers identify objects behind
the vehicle
• Standard tire pressure monitoring system.
Additionally, active safety features alert the driver to potential crash threats.
They’re standard on Denali and offered on SLE-2 and SLT models in two
Driver Alert Packages:
• Driver Alert Package 1 includes Side Blind Zone Alert, Rear Cross
Traffic Alert and Rear Park Assist
• Driver Alert Package 2 (requires Driver Alert Package #1) includes
Forward Collision Alert and Lane Departure Warning.
GMC has manufactured trucks since 1902, with innovation and engineering
excellence built into all GMC vehicles. The brand is evolving to offer more fuelefficient trucks and crossovers, including the Terrain small SUV and Acadia
crossover. GMC’s highest-volume vehicle, the Sierra pickup, is the most powerful
light-duty pickup on the market, and the first full-size pickup to receive the highestpossible five-star Overall Vehicle Score for safety since the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration changed its New Car Assessment Program for the 2011 model
year. Details on all GMC models are available at http://www.gmc.com/, on Twitter at
