2022 GMC Terrain // A GREAT Alternative to the Status Quo?? (Mini-Yukon)

[@jeremiahallyn4603]

I really like your alls new opening to the video! Haven't watched in awhile because of time issues. Glad to see your subs continuing to go up too! Hope you all are doing well ✌💯

[@CarConfections]

Thanks man! Welcome back

[@2004cyrus]

Your alls? Now that caught my attention lmao. Is that a Kentucky way of talking or what? I’ve never seen that in my life! Can you imagine just saying I like your new opening? That would be the job done hahahahahaa

[@2004cyrus]

Or you could say, Great job on your new opening guys! Lol I’m just messing with you. I’m still thinking about your alls as I watch this video. Best thing I read all week! I’m guessing that’s a country saying.

[@martindebrois1472]

These are reliable, straight-forward and rugged vehicles. ... And look good. I understand why people buy them.

[@Retired_Radio_Ron]

Great job once again. I did have a 2019 GMC Terrain Denali and you are correct about the 2.0L engine. They should have offered it as an option and made it standard for the Denali line up. I sometimes wonder what GM is thinking. Don’t disrupt a good thing. Great review gentlemen! 👍👍

[@CarConfections]

Thank you 😁

[@Lucas_Collins]

I agree. Its strange they got rid of it. I have a 2020 Terrain SLT with the 2.0L, and my girlfriend has a 2019 terrain SLE with the 1.5L. There's actually a noticeable difference in the power, wouldn't buy a 1.5 .. And strange now they don't have the bose stereo in the SLT.

[@tomtalker2000]

Actually they should have just ditched the 1.5 and made the 2.0 standard across the board. I bet they would have had FAR better sales doing that. They must be kicking themselves right about now.

Great review on the GMC terrain. Keep up the good work…

[@dalecackowski9259]

Ive always been a GM fan....but sadly, outside Cadillac, the Corvette and heavy duty vehicles, they lag behind most automakers. The cost cutting of most of their interiors, reliability and lack of updating is so frustrating. Their MO through the higher-ups is tanking their sales, image and quality. I do think however, that they have some of the best user interfaces in terms of image quality and usability. The other encouraging thing is the new EV Silverado and GMC Hummer in terms of looking forward and innovation....time will tell with reliability. Perhaps the investments all went there at the expense of many in the rest of their fleet. This Terrain is going in the right direction, but still behind most of the competition in refinement and material quality. Excellent review guys!

Hi Car Confections Can You Make The 2022 GMC Acadia Denali

[@CarConfections]

Yes

What you didn't stress unless they took this feature away. Is that unique too the Terrain is a fold flat passenger seat which expands the entire cargo capacity to 8ft for extra long items.

[@rickmcmhan2296]

Nice looking terrain and having AWD is a plus, I heard that GMC doesn't make cars only Suv and trucks that is cool

[@kodak_jack]

One shocking thing at the end was a $500 charge for the blue paint!! The sunroof had better be a favorite and often used option at $1500. If I'm correct in what I've heard, the 2024 version does NOT let you turn off the idiotic auto shut off and start. This must be a BIG boost to starter and battery sales.

[@olesyakoktyan6713]

Great review. Covering all the main points and yes including the road noise. Love the knobs for HVAC. All the competition Hyundai, RAV4s, CRVs and the like are all look the same and incredibly boring. More truck like appearance inside and outside very appealing compared to cookie cutter competition. But needs more horse power.

[@CarConfections]

Thank you!

[@tomtalker2000]

Yes...!!! Bring back the 2.0 for the Denali trim and give us horsepower options like other car manufactures do. That 2.0 was THE PERFECT pairing for this vehicle. And if you do bring back the chrome exhaust tips as well it was a nice fancy tough for the Denali trim.

[@hellkitty1014]

Really hate they did away with the 2.0T. It was a pretty stout engine. It seems they're trying to go the Rogue route with a single powertrain. But GM should've at least offered a hybrid as well to compete with the RAV4 and CRV. And please GM...hire a proper interior designer!

[@jeffmorse645]

Rented one for a week and a half. It was a more base model but it had the most uncomfortable seats I've seen in a very long time. Small, short cushion. Even with power adjustments (think it was only 6-way) I couldn't get comfortable. I have long legs and the cushion was so short and had no thigh support. Plus by the time I moved the seat back enough for my legs the telescoping steering wheel ran out of range so my arms were sticking straight out. I'm 6' 3" which isn't overly tall. You'd think a US car company would have made the interior more comfortable for tall people.

You're height is about 6 inches over the average male height, so definitely tall.

It's kind of pretty. It's a GMC so reliability long-term seems questionable, guess most people lease these things though. The interior is nice, but it needs a bit more modernization to be taken seriously.

[@2004cyrus]

No people don’t lease them. They finance them. Chevy people don’t know what is lease is. It’s a different crowd. Leases are more commonly executed with luxury vehicles. I’ve been in the car business for 10 years and that’s why I comment the disagreement: Chevy used to give huge discounts that drew people in to finance: most of their people that buy these have rocky credit and pay really high interest. I’ll leave it there.

[@hermanwooster8944]

@@2004cyrus Emphasis on "used to." I worry we won't see discounts any time soon given the global situation and all that.

[@tomtalker2000]

Have you seen the Denali trim. It's quite luxurious compared too the rest of the vehicles out there in it's segment.

[@tomtalker2000]

This vehicle is DEFINITELY on my short list for new suv's. I think either the SLT or Denali trim with the gray interior leather and wood trim accents looks gorgeous. I have a 2015 Lincoln MKC now so i think this will be a great replacement. The ONLY thing i don't like is that they did away with the 2.0 engine. I think GMC dropped the ball there. They should have kept that and made it the standard engine on ALL trim levels. And done away with the very under powered 1.5. I have 240hp & 270lbs torque now in my Lincoln so the Terrain's 2.0 would have been a very similar fit for me. I'm just not sure of going down too the 1.5 and losing all the hp & torque i have been used too. Perhaps i'll have too look for a 2021 SLT or Denali since that was the last year they made the 2.0 engine. Otherwise, it's a great vehicle that i feel doesn't get enough attention in the VERY busy small suv segment.

[@1515cci]

I personally would have preferred they kept the 2.0 engine. I picked up the 2022 a few months ago and as a daily driver, I find the 1.5 to be quite adequate. The power and acceleration is there when needed particularly when merging onto the highway. I read some folks dumping on the 1.5 but it really isn't that bad as they make it out to be. The 9 speed transmission makes shifting a very smooth experience.

[@tomtalker2000]

@@1515cci Well i'll have too try it and see for myself. But you must admit especially on the Denali trim. What the hell were they thinking getting rid of the chrome side mirror caps and dual chrome exhaust tips. They could have kept that as an added touch for this top of the line trim. I saw on forums that people were bitching about constantly having too clean off the exhaust soot from the chrome tips. Honestly i wipe mine down daily since my Lincoln has a turbo engine also. So your just going to get that with a turbo engine folks plain and simple. At least they gave us an updated nicer grille on the Denali and a FINALLY a dedicated on/off button for the start stop system. But seriously GMC you can have easily kept the nice chrome touches too the mirrors and exhaust tips for the Denali trim. Please bring that back. If not dual tips at least one chrome exhaust tip.

Hope they've reworked all the oil sensor & piston ring, engineering problems that caused their 2.5 EcoTech engine, on 2010 thru 2013 Terrain & Equinox models (& numerous others as well), to end up with blown engines. GMC lost a class action lawsuit, due to these exact engineering issues, but never advised any owners about the piston rings, & only sent out a recall for the oil sensor, allowing these engines to fail. Honestly, I'd ask what kind of engine did GMC use for these new models? Are they reliable?! My 2011 Terrain's engine was one of the affected models, & my engine did indeed get blown, & I was told it missed the date to qualify for repair. I used to swear by my GMC's & Suburbans...now, not so much. My confidence has been broken. :(

GM gives you big easy to understand buttons (and I'm barely in my 30s and love technology, lol). The driver info section is a bit of a letdown but after 4 years in a car with a full digital one... I really done care one way or the other. To each their own I suppose, and as Herman says, it's more "truckish" which appeals to some people.
