2011 GMC Terrain

2011 GMC Terrain
      We understand the modern lifestyles demand modern utility.  So we used big thinking to design a smaller SUV with the standard features, passenger comfort and great capability you would expect in a full-sized SUV.  At 32 highway miles per gallon, we gave it better fuel economy than any SUV or crossover.  This is Terrain.  We gave it more ideas per square inch.  because more is what we do.

     

GOING THE EXTRA MILE TO MAKE THE MOST OUT OF EVERY INCH Every inch of Terrain challenges the notion of what an SUV can be.  It has the best highway fuel economy in its class at 32 highway miles per gallon, and it fits into smaller garages and tighter parking spaces with ease.  Terrain also rewards you with big-SUV comfort, professional-grade capability and bold GMC styling - it's the very definition of efficiency without compromise.

Intelligent Performance: Terrain offers class-leading highway fuel economy without sacrificing performance.  Equipped with a 2.4L I-4, Terrain offers 32 EPA-estimated highway miles per gallon, and can go up to 600 highway miles on a single tank of gas.  At 182 horsepower and 172 lb-ft of torque, the engine delivers responsive power when you need it for a confident driving experience.

Big SUV Comfort: Terrain features the head and leg room of a full-sized SUV.  To make the most of available interior soace, its clever MultiFlex rear seat slides to create 39.9 inches of class-leading rear leg room, and can even recline for rear passenger comfort.  The seatbacks also fold down to create nearly 64 cubic feet of available cargo space.

Bold GMC Styling: Terrain takes a strong stance worthy of its professional-grade heritage - with squared off corners, flared fenders, a prominent chrome surround grille and projector-beam headlamps mounted in large, rectangular chrome housings.  What you get it plenty of bold styling and a commanding view of the road.

HELP WHEN YOU NEED IT MOST: Every Terrain offers a six-month trial subscription to OnStar Directions & Connections.  Whether you're lost, stranded, involved in a crash or your vehicle's been stolen, an OnStar Advisor is there to get you whatever help you need, 24 hours a day.

EVERY INCH DESIGNED TO DO BIG THINGS
Terrain is a smaller SUV on the outside, with the capacity to do more on the inside.  It's engineered to use every inch of interior space to the full benefit of it's passenger interior.  You get class-leading maximum second-row leg room, generous cargo space and flexible second-row seating, allowing you to configure interior space as you choose.

Hands-Free Cargo Access: With the help of an available programmable power liftgate, loading and unloading Terrain's rear cargo area is incredibly easy.  the liftgate features push-button remote access, and can be programmed to open to different heights to accommodate your own height or various parking garage heights.  Electronic obstacle detection can reverse and stop liftgate motion to help prevent damage.

Flexible Floor Plan: The standard MultiFlex sliding rear seat allows you to arrange Terrain's available interior space to your liking.  The 60/40-split rear seatback can be partially folded to accommodate a mix of cargo and passengers, or folded down completely to create nearly 64 cubic feet of total cargo space.

Ease of Entry: Integrated rocker panels int he front and rear doors create a low step-in height to make entering and exiting your Terrain easier and help keep door sills cleaner.

Best-In Class Rear-Seat Leg Room: Benefiting from the longest wheelbase in the class, Terrain has roomy rear seating comfortable enough for three adults.  The seat can slide nearly 8 inches for and aft and recline in five-and10 degree positions to deliver class-leading 39.9 inches of maximum rear leg room and exceptional comfort.  Or you can slide the seat forward to expand rear cargo volume.

CAPABILITY REFINED
Every inch of Terrain's spacious interior reflects a high level of craftsmanship and thoughtful execution.  it's finished in fine premium materials and complemented by well-placed, conveniently illuminated controls.  In devoting attention to the smallest of details, Terrain provides a stylish, structured, pleasing environment for everyone.

Inviting Interior: Terrain's interior reflects GMC's signature attention to detail.  Careful organization and premium materials give Terrain a structured, integrated look and feel.  Red ambient lighting is used on the cupholders and around the center stack to provide an inviting, warm glow throughout the cabin and add convenience while traveling at night.  Contrasting red stitching helps define the contours of terrain's highly bolstered seats and complements the interior lighting.

Supportive Seating: Terrain's seats are shaped and bolstered for additional comfort and support.  They're carefully stitfched to create a high-end, contemporary look that stand up to wear over time.

Cold-Weather Comfort: Terrain has available heated front seats to warm you up when cold weather sets in.  The seats offer three settings, giving front-row occupants the ability to dial in the appropriate level of heat to match their personal comfort level.  They're available with cloth on SLE-2 models and standard on SLT-1 and SLT-2 models with perforated leather-appointed seating surfaces.

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 22 lb-ft of torquw.  it clocks in a 0-to60 mph time of 7.8 second and delivers an unsurpassed 3500 pounds of trailering capability in it's class.

Advanced 6-speed Automatic Transmission: 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.

Direct-Injection Technology: Both engines in the Terrain feature direct-injection technology.  Fuel in 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.

Electric Power Steering: 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 contributes to Terrain's exceptional fuel economy.  It's standard on all Terrain models equipped with the 2.4L four-cylinder engine.

Fuel-Saving Mode: 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 exchange for additional fuel economy in city driving.

UNLIMITED RANGE OF MOTION
Terrain has the strength and flexibility to manage changing conditions with confidence.  When the road resists, it pushes back with suspension, braking and stability control systems designed to provide excellent on-road feel and handling characteristics.

A Feel For The Road: Terrain's suspension system features a compact strut-type front suspension and an independent four-link design with coil springs int he rear.  The suspension is tight and offers a crisp response to give you a feel for the road, without all of the harshness.

Impressive Trailering Capability: With an available receiver hitch, Terrain 2.4L I-4 engine models can trailer up to 1500 pounds.  Equipped with the 3.0L V-6 engine, Terrain offers unsurpassed maximum trailering capacity in its class - up to 3500 pounds. In practical terms, the I-4 is great for trailering a pair of jet skis or motorcycle, while the V-6 can handle most single-axle camping trailers.

Stability Control: The StabiliTrak stability control system helps you stay on the path you are steering in bad weather or on uneven road surfaces.  This system sinses when your vehicle is not responding to your steering inputs, then adjusts engine speed and braking pressure to any individual wheel to help maintain directional control.

Intelligent All-Wheel Drive (AWD): When you need extra traction, available AWD automatically adapts to changing road conditions for improved handling.  The system send the maximum amount of torque specific to each wheel when extra traction is needed, and adjusts as needed to help you maintain control.  thanks to direct-injection engine technology, Terrain features best-in-class AWD highway fuel economy and a best -in-class AWD highway cruising range.

Hill Hold: On a hill or a steep incline the moment you take your foot off the gas, Hill hold takes over to prevent Terrain from rolling backwards.  Sensing a potential "rollback," Hill Hold uses full brake pressure to hold the vehicle in place during the switch between brake and accelerator pedals, giving you time to apply power and pull away.

Rearview Perspective: Every Terrain is equipped with a Rearview Camera System to help you navigate a driveway, parking space or trailer hitch more effectively.  As soon as you shift into reverse, a view of what's behind you is displayed in a portion of the rearview mirror..  On select models, when Touch-Screen Navigation is ordered, the camera display is integrated into the NAV screen.

PRIORITIES IN THE RIGHT PLACE
Terrain offers a comprehensive system of protection to give you help when you need it most.  It's engineered to assist you before a crash, with advanced chassis control technology, during a crash, when every second counts, and thanks to OnStar, after a crash, even if you can't ask for help yourself.

Six Air Bags With Passenger Sensing System: To reduce the risk of injury, Terrain is equipped with six air-bags: two front dual-stage air bags and two side-impact air bags for the driver and front-seat passenger, and head curtain side-impact air bags with rollover protection for passengers in all outboard seating positions.  The front passenger air bags feature a Passenger Sensing System.  The system uses a sensor within the front passenger seat to detect the weight of an occupant.  under a certain weight, the system automatically turns off the air bag.

Reinforced Safety Cage: To help preserve occupant space during a crash, Terrain's safety cage is engineered to absorb and channel crash energy.  Crush zones at thef ront and rear of Terrain are designed to collapse in a controlled manner on impact, allowing them to absorb energy and keep the safety cage intact. 

OnStar Automatic Crash Response: With OnStar, you get the help you need, even if you can't ask fo rit.  In a crash, an OnStar Advisor can call for help, send your GPS location to emergency services and can stay on the line until help arrives.

Electronic Child Safety Locks: To prevent young children from opening the rear doors unexpectedly, all Terrain models include "one-touch" electronic safety door locks and a lockout switch.  Simply pushing a button in the center console sends an electronic signal to the rear doors, blocking interior door handle function.  The button is backlit in amber when the doors are locked, and turns red when unlocked to help you determine when the locks are activated.

BUILT TO THE HIGHEST STANDARD
Terrain's inherent craftsmanship is visible in its construction, and evident under the hood.  From structure to sheet metal, terrain delivers a quiet, comfortable driving environment backed by outstanding warranty coverage.

Durable And Quiet By Design: Terrain's rigid, body-integral structure with single-piece bodyside outer-stamping allows for a precise assembly, with tight, uniform gap tolerances.  Tight seams, window closeouts and windshield angle help improve air flow over and around the Terrain, reducing air turbulance and wind noise.  The result is a vehicle with a solid feel and high level of quality that provides a remarkably quiet ride.

OnStar Vehicle Diagnostics: With the help of OnStar, Terrain can automatically send you a monthly e-mail summary of hundreds of checks of your engine, transmission and antilock brakes, along with important maintenance tips.  Services include OnStar Vehicle Diagnostics, a powerfully simple way to know what your vehicle's key operating systems need.  A six month trial subscription to OnStar Directions & Conditions is one of the benefits of Terrain's ownership.

The Best Coverage In America: We stand by our commitment to exceptional quality and great capability in everything we do.  Every GMC is fully backed by a 5-Year/100,000-Mile Powertrain Limited Warranty, plus Courtesy Transportation and Roadside Assistance, so you're protected.  If you sell your GMC, this coverage is fully transferable to the next owner, too.  It's not just a commitment to you.  It's a commitment to the value of your GMC.
