Thinking of buying the 2020 GMC Terrain?
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2020 GMC Terrain; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before you buy the 2020 GMC Terrain, see the figures and the checks worth doing.
Recalls and complaints
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Owners filed 197 complaints with NHTSA, most often about service brakes, engine and unknown or other; have those parts checked.
Under the hood
The powertrain to know here is the 1.5L 4-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
It is rated at 8.6 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 26 litres. That works out to about $13.33 per 100 km at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,500 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Inside and out
It offers the space of an SUV with the height that makes loading easy. For luggage, 368 litres means about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Best uses
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Rent it for a week first
If the Terrain is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. A week with the Terrain answers more than any brochure. Rent the Terrain first, and buy only if it fits your life.
Running costs
The EPA estimates US$2,500 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.33 in fuel.
Year and trim
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
