Specs, explained
The engine is the 2.4L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive and a 6-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Its combined rating is 9.4 L/100 km, which means roughly 28 litres for 300 km. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $14.57. The EPA estimates US$2,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
When the Terrain makes sense
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
How big it is
Being a compact SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well. For luggage, 793 litres means bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
A longer test drive
Try the Terrain on your commute, then decide. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
Picking a year and a trim
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Within the 2017 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
The cost of driving it
The EPA estimates US$2,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $14.57 in fuel.
