2010 GMC Terrain – Pics and Specs
The 2010 GMC Terrain has been awarded a top notch for one of the safest rides in its class for 2009. Along with its sister can the Chevy Equinox, Terrain not only features a comfortable interior but several (powerful) engine options. A new, 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with direct injection delivers highway fuel economy of 30 mpg. Fuel economy is achieved in part with an ECO mode that is activated via a console-mounted button. When engaged, it lowers the torque converter lockup speed to 1,125 rpm to help save fuel on models equipped with the motor.

There is also a 3.0-liter DOHC direct injected V-6 engine delivering an estimated 264 horse power. Both engines are mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. Terrain’s rack-mounted electric power steering system provides greater fuel efficiency on four-cylinder-equipped models, saving nearly 11 miles per tank of gas. The Terrain rides on a 112.5-inch (2,857 mm) wheelbase and features a four-wheel independent suspension system, with wide front and rear tracks that promise to offer comfort and solid handling.
GMC Terrain is produced at the CAMI assembly facility in Ingersoll, Ontario with pricing starting in the low $20,000 range. (via LeftLaneNews)
