Terrain isn’t one of those gas-guzzling SUVs you’ve heard about. It’s a modern crossover that was designed with fuel efficiency as a top priority. In fact, equipped with the standard 2.4L direct-injected ECOTEC engine, a FWD Terrain uses just 6.1 L of gas per hundred kilometres of highway driving – better than Toyota RAV4, even better than the Ford Escape Hybrid.*
In addition to being stylish, rugged, capable and versatile, the 2012 Terrain is designed to deliver an enjoyable driving experience. The standard 182 hp 2.4L engine teams with a six-speed automatic transmission for responsive performance at every speed. To keep all the performance under control, the braking system features a disc at every wheel, plus standard ABS and panic brake assist. There's also a finely tuned fully independent suspension, so you enjoy an excellent balance of handling agility and ride control. It all adds up to an extra measure of driving pleasure, even if you're only going to the office.
On the inside, Terrain drivers experience the best in modern interior design. The lines are clean and contemporary. Standard ambient lighting provides a cool, contemporary look. And the materials have all been carefully selected to feel as satisfying to the touch as they look to the eye. Equally important, the Terrain cabin has been equipped for the way you really live. Bluetooth mobile phone connectivity, climate control, a USB port and a generous assortment of cup- and bottle-holders are all standard equipment. Terrain also includes four auxiliary power outlets for charging mobile phones, laptops and all the other electronic necessities of modern life.
One night it's you and the gang heading out on the town for dinner. The next day it's you, your friends and the bikes for a day on the trails. Terrain is designed to handle both situations with equal ease, thanks in part to a standard class-exclusive Multi-Flex® rear seat that adjusts forward and back as much as 200 mm (7.9"). With the seat in its rearmost position, second-row passengers enjoy a limousine-like 1,013 mm of legroom, the most in its class.‡ Or you can slide the seat forward, fold down the 60/40 split seatbacks and load in an impressive 1,809 litres of cargo.
Terrain is loaded with advanced technologies that enhance every aspect of your personal driving experience. High-tech direct fuel injection helps maximize both power and efficiency at the same time. Active noise cancellation**, which actually senses unpleasant frequencies and emits sound waves through the audio system to counteract them, helps create a ride that's luxury-car quiet at every speed. And of course, every Terrain includes the unmatched convenience and security of the revolutionary OnStar®† System, including six months of the Directions & Connections Plan with Turn-by-Turn Navigation.
