Thinking of buying the 2020 GMC Terrain?
No 2020 GMC Terrain is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. Before you buy the 2020 GMC Terrain, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
A buyer's checks
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Owners filed 197 complaints with NHTSA, most often about service brakes, engine and unknown or other; have those parts checked. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
Engine and fuel
Power comes from the 1.5L 4-cylinder turbo, driving through a 9-speed automatic. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Expect about 26 litres for every 300 km, going by its 8.6 L/100 km combined rating. For 1,000 km, budget about $133.30 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,500 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who it is for
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Inside and out
Being a compact SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well. With 368 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
A longer test drive
Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. A week with the Terrain answers more than any brochure.
Year and trim
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Within the 2020 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
The cost of driving it
A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $133.30 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,500 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
