A “floating” center stack, highlighted by warm ambient lighting, houses a multitude of ergonomic comfort and convenience controls. The Terrain also features great attention to detail, with smart use of storage space and compartments that are suitable for a variety of items. Terrain’s seats were developed to provide outstanding comfort and the standard MultiFlex sliding rear seat can be moved fore or aft nearly eight inches (200 mm), providing increased passenger comfort or greater rear cargo capacity. The 60/40-split rear seatback offers additional configurations for passengers and cargo; and the rear cargo area offers 31.6 cubic feet (894 liters) of storage, as well as one of the Terrain’s four auxiliary power outlets.
Two new engines are offered on all Terrain models, each with fuel-saving direct injection and variable valve timing technology. Vehicle highlights include:
* New 3.0L DOHC direct injected V-6 engine estimated at 264 horsepower (197 kW), which delivers an estimated 25 mpg highway, 18 mpg city (EPA certification pending).
* New 2.4L Ecotec direct injected I-4 engine estimated at 182 horsepower (136 kW) that delivers an estimated 30 mpg highway, 21 mpg city (EPA certification pending).
Both engines are mated to efficiency-enhancing six-speed automatic transmissions. The six-speeds enhance fuel economy by allowing the engine to turn fewer rpm on the highway. The lower rpm also reduces the engine noise heard in the interior.
