Before you sign for the Terrain

A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Owners filed 225 complaints with NHTSA, most often about service brakes, engine and power train; have those parts checked.

The figures, translated

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. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.

Expect about 22 litres for every 300 km, going by its 7.4 L/100 km combined rating. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $11.47 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,000 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Who the Terrain suits

It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people.

Space, size and seats

Being a compact SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well. Its 850 litre trunk is enough for bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.

Try before you buy

If the Terrain is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. 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.

Choosing the right one

If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.

Running costs

A 1,000 km month costs roughly $114.70 at our price setting. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.47 in fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
