10 Things You Need to Know About the 2018 GMC Terrain

[@pineapplescrew]

I guess everybody has an opinion but to me its great to see an suv still retain some of that boxed/squared shape when everyone else is europanizing and curving! I think itz great!

[@SkodzGaming]

pineapplescrew boxed suv/truck look more manly in my opinion

[@Ballista762]

7:25 "the new 20018 GMC Terrain" Damn it must have incredible futuristic tech!

[@marciaangel8714]

Have had my 2018 terrain denali for about 2 months and love it. Great gas mileage and smooth ride. Handles great. The new shifter is really nice. Just something different to adjust to but after a couple of days it's like second nature. My husband and son who are die hard Ford men admit this is a real nice car and are impressed.

[@shorty5244]

It’ll actually be easier

[@mawell9442]

Marcia Angel are you still happy with your purchase?

[@B00MBATS]

Just purchased the 2019 Black-Out addition a couple of weeks ago...LOVE THIS SUV. We tested the Mazda CX-5, Ford Edge & Escape, Toyota Rav 4, Hyundai Tuscon, and Honda CRV. Wife and I both agreed for us the Terrain was the best, ticking off all the boxes we looked for in drivability, comfort, and features.

[@stampede18ecs]

How was the cx5? Did it have a soft brake pedal and a decent acceleration?

[@1515cci]

Regarding the complaints about the shifter... how many times when you’re driving, do you shift? Realistically speaking, and more often than not, about twice when shifting from P to D and later from D to P. I do like the stick shift but I’ve grown use to these electronic shifter. It’s quick and engages faster than the stick shift. Nothing has really changed when shifting other than that my two fingers are on P and D buttons rather than my hand on the stick shift.

[@jakeboss6342]

I think they should have put ALL these features in the Terrain without changing the body style design, or instead made both in the other body style Terrains and the New Terrain, because I love the other Terrains body style that looked like the Truck

We have an 2019 GMC Terrain denali and absolutely love it with the 2.0T it is amazing

Got my Angel2. Please tell me how can you stop the auto stop start.

[@amyhoang9140]

Very glad to see GMC has the gear shift buttons feature. Would be very helpful for people with arthritis to have the buttons for gear shifter. I am looking for one with this feature and so disappointed it is not available in more affordable cars/suv's (only the Lincoln has this feature but very expensive and not gas efficient). Hopefully, the buttons doesn't need much pressure to press or pull as well. The gear shift that needs only a slight touch to work on th 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee is really nice also if it can be used for all other vehicles. And it would be good if GMC has better build for better safety rating, at least like Honda CRV or Subaru Outback. Honda HRV has the Screen angled toward the driver side, which is very cool.

[@clairepereira8592]

Very nice thorough overview.👍

[@crsnow23]

Looks sharp! I would buy :) Definitely the best looking compact SUV I've seen so far, and that diesel gas mileage :o Impressive!

[@oscarparedes3515]

I have new one, I have to say this suv es great option i am driving happy

[@eddie054]

I prefer a regular shifter.

[@חןמ-ק8ע]

Do not take it outside the US, it simply does not work, the navigation does not work, the calls, the networks disconnect, the screen turns off and no one knows how to handle it

[@jimadreher]

Has GM addressed the drive train issues Our 2013 with 90000 km had the transfer case blow up. checking around it seems that it is quite common. of course the warranty has expired due to time and there is no recall on this known issue. thanks for the $2200.00 bill GM

[@gerrymarshall705]

High test or reg gas???

[@Benjamin911ish]

reg for the 1.5 and premium for the 2.0.

[@humansavages832]

This suv looks really cool.To much negative reviews.

[@zachl5504]

Lot to like but a couple things to HATE: 1) No Auto Start/Stop disable option (unless manual transmission mode is selected) 2) 3-star side-crash rating 3) Made in Mexico -WHY would an American brand make any vehicle outside of the U.S. especially now with updated tax laws, tariffs, etc. 4) 16-gallon fuel tank capacity -Should be 20 gallons or more for road trip capacity

[@DanLoFat]

Well why did the GMC terrain models and starting at least 2020 go to hid? while they did that it sure made it a lot easier to get to the lamps.

[@Fadic4]

Any reason you guys took the civic sedan tail lights and slapped on there?

[@boostedmaniac]

Arosi Pwenias I always wonder if there's some fad all the manufacturers get together and agree on.

What’s the purpose of having a diesel and you can’t tow anything

[@Dm-dw3tr]

diesel engines last much longer, and have better gas mileage.

[@timothyfreeman1818]

No locking gas cap no lock

[@w8n4theboat]

why would one choose deisel im not familiar is diesel fuel cheaper than unleaded gas

[@clivegarlow2443]

One important feature of diesel engines is, they tend to go on forever. Very tough and usually low upkeep with great fuel mileage. The cost of diesel seems to go up and down like a toilet seat at a mixed party with no discernable reason as to why. Some places it can cost less while at others, it can cost more than gas. However good it may be in that sense, I am seriously disappointed in the body design. I won't be buying one. If GM had kept the previous design - or close to it - WITH a diesel option for '18, I would be there in a heartbeat. Ford made the very same mistake with the redesign of the Escape. Too flarey and feminine for this man's taste. No 'fence ladies.

[@w8n4theboat]

thnx Clive ... any downsides to diesel your opinion

[@glitterkittensreid5079]

Folks are getting better than 30 mpg mixed driving. Diesel is simple to maintain and cheaper fuel here in B.C.

[@raymondvl44]

[@macgainez9627]

Previous models through 16 look way better in my opinion.

Regret buying the 2018 terrain it makes a weard noise in the transmission after I turn it off and the dealership and gm say they can't do anything about it

[@elsietan8332]

problem is build in mexcio my last crappy car build in mexico never again

[@randomhobbyist99]

It’s actually pretty nice but for a loaded Denali at a msrp of 45k it’s not worth it. However these are always discounted I ended up swiping a loaded Denali for 34k brand new.

[@sal_ootz]

Shifting with tabs instead of a shifting knob is gonna be horrific when you have parallel park especially in the city. Horrible idea.

[@djsazm3580]

have you drove one? if not stfu it's simple to use them you moron

[@mordantvistas4019]

So said a guy once, "You mean we'll have to copy and store our songs as files on a computer, then transfer them to an ipod thingy!, that'll never work. CD's are perfect!".

[@ivanC_22]

Hi Sal, I have a 2018 Terrain Denali. The button shifter is actually awesome for parallel parking. I just keep my hand on the buttons and use two fingers to pull the trigger buttons for Drive and Reverse and it is much faster than pressing a button on a shifter and having to pull or push the lever into gear. Once you get use to it you won't miss the lever, unless you are driving a stick/ manual transmission which

[@awesumsause2539]

My 2012 Honda Civic was in an accident, dealership fixing it ordered the wrong parts and had to delay the repairs, so they set me up in a 2018 terrain SLT. I've been driving it for the past week and I very much prefer the buttons rather then standard shifters.

[@1515cci]

I’ve paralleled park with my 2018 Terrain many times over, no problems whatsoever.

[@jonhatton4354]

Don’t forget to tell them about the faulty infotainment center... nobody told me and everyone refuses to help.

[@bellahuang2481]

still like my 2014 then this one

[@cedricm5153]

Eeeh. A bit too much bling on the car. Otherwise a sleek looker.

[@46rambo49]

it's getting a lot harder to find an SUV that will pull the mountain passes around semi's and weather, and these just don't do the deed. GMC reducing all that weight makes for a kite in the winds on mountain passes, I don't care how much crap your kids pile in the rig.

[@richardb7093]

Truth: the 2L engine gets 22 MPG on I75...

[@guero76761]

The 2018 had a lot of problems with the transmission i hd mine in the shop for over a month and they said nothing was wrong with it had a loner car till they got tired of looking for what was wrong they never found nothing till GM RECALLED THEM for the transmission problem .!.!!. And the. An other recall for the stereo screen going black and not working overall its been a good suv but I’ll never recommend buying the first year model of any thing anymore till they work out all of the bugs

[@melvinrobinson9825]

[@roadwarrior280]

[@Trinityproductions777]

That is hideous! I cannot believe you made t his into a rounded, sloped body style. First GMC ruined the Acadia, we LOVED our 2013- you changed the body style, so we switched to the Terrain/ 2016- which we love. I am so sad GMC has taken the strong lines and turned this into an SUV that looks like everything else on the road. YUCK!

Why would people ever want to put a small boat inside the car. Don't get it

[@edgurrr]

Omar Reyes damn, chill bro

[@ivanC_22]

If you owned a Kayak "small boat" and you can fit it inside your car than you would because you could...

[@glitterkittensreid5079]

When viewed from the passenger side you can’t even see the driver position. Highly risky to block the view like that. Asking for trouble to do that. There are roof racks already on the top of the cabin to strap you kayak down. To each his own. Be safe.

[@JQin931]

Michael why so much chrome? Looks uglier

[@stampede18ecs]

Get the nightfall edition fixes the look alot

[@glitterkittensreid5079]

Who would possibly be dense enough to put their plastic paddle board in their vehicle blocking their view and being irresponsible to do that? Cmon GMC I would like to purchase this rig and feel like a dumb ass when you are saying stuff like water bottle confusion? Really? Also B20 is 20% biodiesel mix 80% Dino diesel not “biodiesel” which would be 100% biodiesel. Words have power but to treat people who you want to be your customers like dumb ass sheeple! Hope that Eco diesel can run reliably and be straight forward to maintain. Thank you.

[@bestpilot98]

OMG this sales pitch makes me want to VOMIT! So many cheap hard plastics STILL reside below "premium" injection-moulded upper dashboard panels....HOW THE HELL IS THIS LUXURIOUS????!!!!! I'm not gonna lose any sleep over GM's sub-par interiors (especially on top trim models), but I will (briefly) feel sorry for each and every poor sucker driving a new GM model equipped with "Denali, High Country, and/or Premier" trim. Its unfortunate that $70K buys nothing more than PISS ELEGANCE from GM brands these days! SIGH!!!

[@dwaynejeffery3115]

Piece of kife . Mexican built ... ( Ask your local dealer for more information about human rights of Mexican workers, who built this vehicle . ) they will be very quick to turn away from the question ...... Really no shifter GM? What were you thinking .

[@lakevacm]

Are you commited to regaining the crown of quality and trouble free service from Honda, Toyota, and up and comers, like Mazda, or the Koreans; Koreans who are benefitting from German engineering techniques? If so, the impression which has been allowed to develop, that American cars are undependable candidates to spend our money on, may be reversed over time. And the feeling people have that the only American car they would buy is a pickup truck will fade away. The Japanese started designing small cars from the premise that they are small cars, whereas American small cars looked like a big car they shrank. I don't understand how American automotive manufacturers overlooked that design quality. Also, It is perplexing, how a large Continent like North America cannot produce a real competitor to the 7 series, or the new 2018 Honda Accord. I think in the attempt to gain repeating sales, combined with a disregard for the American consumer, we were surpassed by foreigners. This impression still lingers, ergo, I am venting some frustration. You have to prove these things to us in the age of ubiquitous information. Design an American version of the MDX that is diesel powered, that has a manual transmission option, whose chassis is made of heat treated metal, you can advertise as 30 percent stiffer, and some percentage lighter that is super quiet, and include a 140k/6 year warranty, and don't price it out of reach. Something that is in between the M series beamer and the Acura, in terms of shape. Make sure the transmission is impeccable. That's just a few suggestions.

[@hornett22]

you only need to know one thing! they're JUNK!

[@TruthHasSpoken]

Mike - Your design is awful. 1) I can't see out the rear quarter panel to see my blind spot. The little postcard size window doesn't do anything. If I can't see cars in my blind spot, I have no interest in anything else. 2) Panoramic moon roof. Seriously, I hope this isn't the reason for the post card rear window. Detroit is pushing this on consumers but there's no way that my children want the sun's light glaring on their electronic devices. And it really doesn't do much for the front passengers either.

[@1515cci]

TruthHasSpoken I drive a Terrain and blind spot is not an issue. The moon roof is an option so you need not get it.
