2019 GMC Terrain Reviews

The GMC terrain has a sleek design and smooth driving experience. I enjoy the innovative design of the terrain's shifting system. It is a very comfortable car and has a very easy to use camera. On the downside I have run into a few problems with phone connectivity and unfortunately the only way to use the screen as a GPS is if the phone is plugged into the car. Additionally, in the past I was able to drive, receive a notification, and be read that notification. Now it no longer registers and reads it for me.

I love the all black AWD model. The small turbo engine is not exactly fast but does move quickly while highway driving. The 2019 model made big improvements from the 2016. It is more compact, the seat trim is more comfortable, air vents are better placed with additional one added in the back and storage space. I love hidden compartment in the trunk, easy to keep necessaries organized. The only con’s I truly have is the wood grain interior trim, on an all black model I would have liked a brushed silver or all black and if you drive with the windows down it creates a ruffling noise in the back.

I love the looks of my terrain. I got it with the black package and comfort and safety... But not the AWD. That is the main thing I wish I would have gotten as I now live in a state where it is necessary for ease of travel. It is a good vehicle for everyday use as the gas mileage is not bad and cargo space is great (I have put my 8’ kayak and two bikes inside comfortably). It is not a fast car and the way the engine turns off when you come to a complete stop still seems a little odd. The safety features are key though... Lane assist and backup cameras are one of the greatest features I have experienced.

This is a roomier vehicle than the 2018 Equinox, I own, but not as big as the 2016 Tahoe Denali it replaced. Having owned these 3 vehicles I will say some features are better, some not. The Terrain's big problems have been electronic/software related, the updates seem to have fixed these problems for the most part. I still do not enjoy it when the adaptive cruise kicks out, which happens from time to time, they say it is supposed to kick out, to keep you alert. Switching to manual cruise will get you by, until the adaptive kicks back in. I often get "Park Assist" errors when stopping at stop signs and stop lights. We do prefer the heated seats in my Equinox, they get much warmer, which we love. The heat shield under the front passenger floor board started to make noise, it is just above the exhaust. The shield is thin and was tearing. Made a lot of noise when driving 75 plus out west. The vehicle handle pretty d**n good, even in the heavy snow and icey roads out west. This was right before and directly after they closed the Interstate, because of the bad weather.

I love my GMC terrain. I picked the Denali package and it has all the bells and whistles. Previously I had a terrain, but not the Denali package. Liked the first terrain, but love my 2019. I chose white for the exterior color and it is a light tan interior color. That color is much better than black because it does not show dust inside. It has get up and go when you hit the gas. My two boys in their 20's love driving it. Very sporty. Has a long sunroof that I really enjoy as well. Remote keyless start--I would never have a vehicle that does not have that. All around one of my top choices for anything I have ever driven. Go find one now!

The 2019 GMC terrain is comfortable and spacious. There is sufficient space between the back of the driver and passengers seats and the back seat. The truck is spacious and the back seats fold all the way down to allow for more cargo space. The defrost ventilation is extremely loud, however clears the windows of fog rather quickly. The terrain is less sporty looking and does not have the standard safety features that comparable vehicles have (lane assist, automatic cruise control adjustment, automating high beam adjustment).

Since the first time I drove my 2019 terrain it is been awesome! It is drives like a SUV and feels like your driving a car. This is not my first terrain but it is my favorite by far, the metallic grey paint shines in the sunlight and hardly shows the dirt. The interior is the perfect amount of space for myself, husband and son. In the back there is plenty of room for all of my son’s sports equipment with extra room for chairs, traveling out of town is more pleasurable with pace to take things. When it comes to gas I usually fill up 1 time every week and half but that would change depending on the driving distance. Over all I would recommend the terrain and I am excited about getting my next one.

The Seats are the most Uncomfortable Seats I’ve ever had in a Vehicle. It’s like sitting in a Hard Airplane Seat! I noticed a elastic piece with a clip hanging from the passengers seat after I got it home. The seat cover is actually a cover held on with clips!! When I hit a bump it feels like I’m riding on the Rim. Floor carpet in the back seat was not installed properly leaving gaps. GM quality is not what it use to be. I know since I’m a retired GM Rosie the Riverter. The only thing I love about it is the gas mileage. TG it’s a lease and I can’t wait to give it back!!

The 2019 GMC terrain sle is an overall good car. There are some issues when it comes to the gear assist. A week after I got this car, brand new, it got stuck in first gear since the break assist kicked in as I was going down a steep hill. I have also had issues with the button gear shifting. It was quite the adjustment. After almost two years of having this car it has gotten easier. Keyless start is something I never thought I'd enjoy but it does come in handy when you can park in your garage and forget about bringing in your keys. The backseat is great for kids and can comfortably fit car seats. The car is reliable and has never had an issue since the very first one right after I got the car. The heated seats are amazing in the winter and heat very quickly. I do enjoy the option to sync or not sync the temperature or ac or heat. That is a great feature for those of us who do not always like the temperature their partner enjoys. Overall, I would recommend this car and would lease again.

My terrain is very sleek looking, since the model design change. It is a small truck, but drives like a car. It is easy to her around. The only problems I really have with my terrain is the exterior steadiness. I feel like simply pushing on the door will cause an indent. Also, a cool feature is the gears are buttons. A “stick shift” does not exist, instead Park Drive reverse and neutral are buttons. This eliminated the bulky center console with a stick shift, giving you more room in the front seat.

A very comfortable interior, cup holders are in an easy reach of the front seats, console is roomy, a lot of little areas to store items to keep handy. The back folds down flat which makes it easier to transport more items. Plenty of room to have your very large pet in the backseat as well as comfort for human passengers too. Styling is attractive & I like the button to close the rear of the car. I will admit while it is easy to drive, I still do miss the shifter while driving.

The GMC terrain Denali is comfortable and spacious. It has great features including a hand warmer in steering wheel, which is wonderful during cold Midwest winters. Another thoughtful feature is being able to set each driver specific seat settings. I know in most vehicles my husband and I have to manually adjust seat settings to our comfort levels once the other drives and of course you can never get the setting back to 'just right'. This problem no longer exists with this feature.

The car has a sleek look to it. The rear seats fold down giving a large trunk space. The front seats adjust electronically with buttons on the side of the seat. The ignition is a push button which activates only when the key is in the car. The car also honks at you if you get out of the car and forget the key inside. The main thing that I do not like would be the individual buttons that control parking, neutral, drive and reverse. It is a cool feature but I prefer something that takes more conscious effort. There are too many buttons. Overall I like the car though.

My GMC Terrain is one of the near vehicles I have owned. The 9 speed turbo engine has the power I need without the big engine. It has great gas mileage due to this feature. There is plenty of room in the front and the console has room to store items that you may need. There is plenty of legroom in the backseat also, the overall comfort of the interior is amazing. Cue to a larger wheelbase the ride is very comfortable and smooth. I love the hands free talking feature, I don't usually talk on the phone when driving g but if I have to it's nice to know that I can just push a button and talk. The only thing g that took a little getting used to was the push buttons to put the car in gear. Overall I live Terrain and would recommend it for your next vehicle.

Besides the awfulfitment between body panels, what really floored me was the techno fail. Only one power USB port? Really? It's a five passenger vehicle. And to be even crazier, that one powered USB goes dead after a while from key shutdown. Boo I thought perhaps I could put a multi-outlet cigar (old fashioned description) lighter power in, but NO, that dies shortly after engine shutdown. Waaaaa I kinda understood this when my bLil Honda fit with a lil motorcycle battery did this. Back to techno comparisons. Our 2016 Jeep Cherokee hookups between phone and vehicle worked so much easier (though not without some sailor language. Bottom line- gmc is supposed to be the middle line between Chevy and b Cadillac. You'll need to go with the top-of-line Denali to get there.
