Selecting the Perfect 2024 GMC Terrain: A Trim & Buying Guide

It’s a well-documented fact that the automotive industry is guided by trends and practices. This is certainly true when it comes to the designs and features that are prominent on various classes of vehicles that have gained both notoriety and popularity. A case in point is the crossover SUV. While it’s certainly one of the most popular vehicles by drivers in this day and age, finding one particular SUV that stands out from the other makes and models on the marketplace presents itself as something of a challenge. Here at Victory GMC, we can’t tell you how many times we’ve seen a customer on the hunt for an SUV that provides practicality, comfort, and performance but also allows them to have something that stands out from the other vehicles on the road. More often than not, we tell them about a GMC Terrain for Sale and how the SUV has a wide array of features that enhance the experience behind the wheel. Selecting the perfect trim of the Terrain is the second part of this process. Knowing what you want, what you need, and what the different versions of the Terrain offer will make your choices easier.GMC Terrain SLEThe introductory trim for the GMC Terrain is the SLE. Because the Terrain shares the same platform with its sibling, the Chevy Equinox, there are some noticeable similarities, the main one being its powertrain. All trim levels of the Terrain are equipped with a turbocharged 1.5L four-cylinder engine and a nine-speed automatic transmission. While powering the vehicle with only four cylinders, there’s a surprising amount of performance to be had. With 175 hp and the capability to generate 203 lb-ft of torque, GMC proves its ability to do more with less. This powertrain is also fairly efficient when it comes to fuel economy, as it achieves 24 MPG in the city and 29 on the highway for a combined rating of 26. As for the special features that one finds in the interior of the vehicle, there are plenty that GMC equips the SLE trim with. The centerpiece of the interior is a seven-inch infotainment screen that’s compatible with both Apple and Android products and a six-speaker stereo system to keep you and your passengers entertained when you’re out and about on the road of life. Many drivers have a concern when it comes to the safety of what they drive, and as a testament to how much GMC cares about this as well, they offer standard features such as automatic headlights, automated emergency braking, following distance indication, and pedestrian detection. Drivers who purchase the SLE trim can upgrade their features by way of the GMC Pro Safety Plus Package. This includes adaptive cruise control, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-changing assistance, and rear parking sensors. GMC Terrain SLT The SLT trim of the Terrain contains many of the same attributes and items of the SLE but puts more emphasis on making more of those trims available as standard. There’s also an added emphasis on luxury and creature comforts that many drivers gravitate towards. The infotainment screen is upgraded to an eight-inch setup with Bluetooth connectivity. Perforated leather seat trim and a leather-wrapped steering wheel are included, and the standard safety features for the SLE trim are built upon. All of the features in the upgradable safety package that were available as options in the SLE are now standard, giving drivers more peace of mind as they drive. GMC Terrain AT4GMC has a long-standing reputation for being a refined and sophisticated brand that caters to those with upscale tastes. Well, even those who enjoy a four-star restaurant enjoy getting down in the dirt from time to time. For these individuals who prefer the path less traveled—the one that leads away from civilization—there’s the AT4 trim. This is the off-road-ready version of the Terrain, and is specifically designed for those whose taste for adventures can only be satisfied by a very particular type of vehicle. While FWD is the standard drivetrain on both the SLKt and SLT trims, the AT4 comes with AWD as a standard feature. Aside from this, the vehicle also comes with a skid plate to protect the vehicle’s underbelly from the dirt and gravel that usually accompany inhospitable terrains. While many of the amenities and features in the AT4 are virtually identical to other Traverse trims, it has some notable extras, such as traction select. This comprehensive feature allows the Terrain to adapt to any landscape you decide to tackle. There are also more noticeable aesthetic changes, such as an AT4 badge and a front grille that makes the trim stand out among other SUVs. For drivers who enjoy their adventures with a beefy and boisterous soundtrack, the AT4 can be outfitted with a high-end stereo system from Bose with seven speakers and an amplifier installed in the center console. GMC Terrain DenaliThe Denali does not need an introduction for those who have a fondness for luxury vehicles that make an unforgettable first impression and have a pedigree that other manufacturers can only dream of. The rope trim that GMC offers is instantly recognizable with its jet-black color. The leather interior provides an unprecedented level of sophistication in the SUV world. The Denali edition of the Terrain comes standard with 19-inch wheels and a customized suspension that makes for excellent handling and smooth drive, no matter where you decide to go. Like the AT4, the Denali is an AWD-exclusive vehicle, and the same immersive stereo system from Bose comes as a standard offering. Because how could it not? Other standard offerings that the Denali has to offer include an advanced navigational system that notifies you about points of interest along your route as you drive by them. For those who wish to take their driving experience to the furthest limit possible, available features such as ventilated front seats and advanced automatic parking assist are available to let you soak in luxury. Explore New Terrains at Victory GMC It seldom occurs when a vehicle’s name perfectly describes its function.
