The 2019 GMC Terrain for buyers
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2019 GMC Terrain; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Before you buy the 2019 GMC Terrain, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
Before you sign for the Terrain
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
Under the hood
The engine is the 1.6L 4-cylinder turbo, with all-wheel drive and a 6-speed automatic. It runs on diesel, sold at most highway stations. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.
Rated at 7.4 L/100 km combined, it needs around 22 litres for a 300 km round trip. A 300 km weekend costs about $34.41 in energy at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,000 a year for 15,000 miles.
Good uses for the Terrain
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Practical details
An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length. Its 368 litre trunk is enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Rent it for a week first
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent the Terrain for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Drive the Terrain on your commute before you commit to it.
Choosing the right one
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Within the 2019 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
Running costs
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $114.70 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
Ready when you are
Rent it for a week, then decide: send a request with your dates.
