THERE'S POwER IN NUMBERS.
terrain's 182-horsepower direct-injected four-cylinder engine gives a spirited
performance and features better highway fuel economy than any other SUV or
crossover. Direct-injection technology and Variable Valve timing (VVt) help

both the standard 2.4l I-4 engine and the available 3.0l V-6 engine burn
cleaner and operate more efficiently, making terrain incredibly responsive and
fuel-conscious. You don't have to wait for the payoff—it's power you can feel
the moment you accelerate.

the available 3.0l V-6 engine offers 264 horsepower and 222 lb-ft of torque.
It clocks in a 0-to-60 mph time of 7.8 seconds and delivers an unsurpassed
3500 pounds of trailering capability in its class. 2

a 6-speed automatic transmission features a wide ratio spread with a very low first
gear for brisk acceleration from a stop, and a very high sixth gear overdrive ratio
that helps save fuel during highway cruising. thanks to engine Grade braking,
the transmission also changes gears as conditions change, reduces brake wear
and gives you more control on downhill slopes.
D I r e c t - I N j e c t I o N t e c H N o l o G Y
both engines in the terrain feature direct-injection technology. fuel is injected
directly into the combustion chamber, right next to the spark plug for fast,
efficient combustion. In addition, digital sensors allow each injection of fuel
to precisely match power demand, resulting in cleaner burning and efficient
operation. Instead of having to tune the engine for power or fuel economy, our
engineers are able to do both.

a rack-mounted electric
Power Steering system
(rePS) automatically
delivers extra steering
effort when you need it,
when parking or during
tight maneuvers, and
reduces steering effort
when you don't on
the highway. rePS also
eliminates the need for
a power steering pump,
which helps conserve
horsepower and contrib-
utes to terrain's excep-
tional fuel economy.
It's standard on all
terrain models equipped
with the 2.4l four-
cylinder engine.
f U e l - S a V I N G m o D e
the 2.4l I-4 comes with
an "eco" mode to help
save fuel. at the press
of a button, the engine
makes a slight sacrifice
in acceleration in ex-
change for additional fuel
economy in city driving.
1 EPA-estimated mpg 32 hwy. 2 Maximum
trailer weight ratings are calculated
assuming a base vehicle, except for any
option(s) necessary to achieve the rating,
plus driver. The weight of other optional
equipment, passengers and cargo will
reduce the maximum trailer weight your
vehicle can tow. See your GMC dealer
for additional details.
