APPEARANCES ARE NOT DECEIVING.
The all-new 2010 Terrain is what happens when you harness the unmatched truck industry expertise of GMC to create a premium Compact Crossover SUV. With its precise angles, refi ned surfaces and superb body panel fi t, Terrain looks like it was machined from a solid block of steel. And as you might expect, its engineering is equally cutting-edge. Terrain showcases the latest in technology, with features like Direct Injection, Variable Valve Timing (VVT), StabiliTrak®, and a fuel-saving six-speed automatic transmission. As a result, it blends the uncompromised performance and capability of an SUV with impressive sophistication, responsive handling and best-in-class highway fuel efficiency.* Terrain. Built exclusively in Canada, it’s the all-new Compact Crossover SUV as reimagined by the engineers at GMC. |

SIMPLY BRILLIANT.
Clearly infl uenced by the world of contemporary industrial design, Terrain puts
drivers at ease with warm ambient lighting, excellent all-around visibility and controls
designed and positioned in accordance with modern ergonomic principles. Advanced
electronic systems – including a standard Rearview Camera System, OnStar® and
available Bluetooth® mobile phone connectivity – put up-to-the-second high-tech
functionality at your fi ngertips. The result is a fresh, attractive driver interface that
encourages a higher level of confi dence and control. |

ADVANCED DESIGN, BEAUTIFULLY CRAFTED.
On the road, Terrain spoils its occupants with impressive comfort and very
low levels of noise and vibration. The cabin is trimmed in fi ne materials –
including, if you wish, perforated leather-appointed seating surfaces
accented with contrasting stitching. For added comfort on longer journeys,
the front bucket seats feature prominent bolsters and, on the driver’s seat, a
power height and adjustable lumbar support. There’s premium comfort for your
rear passengers as well, thanks to a Multi-FlexTM second-row seat that adjusts
backwards and forwards by approximately 200 mm (7.9 inches). Terrain’s doorintegrated
rocker panels even make entry and exit easier and more comfortable,
with a narrow step-over that also helps keep your clothes clean and dry. |

WHAT’S ON TODAY’S AGENDA?
Do your plans include a trip to the mall? Tackling a renovation project? Maybe
packing up for a weekend at the lake? In a world of ever-changing needs,
Terrain is designed to adapt to the challenge at hand. With the Multi-Flex rear
seat adjusted forward, there’s almost 900 litres (over 31 cubic feet) of space in
the cargo bay. That more than doubles if you fold the 60/40 divided rear seat.
A low 732 mm (28.8 inches) liftover height makes loading and unloading any
kind of cargo a simple matter. There’s also an available power liftgate that can
be programmed to open to a pre-set height, depending on your height and the
ceiling restrictions where you park. |

EXCELLENCE WITHOUT EXCESS.
The goal: to create a Compact Crossover SUV that would perform without
punishing owners at the pump. The result: equipped with the standard
182-horsepower ECOTEC 2.4-litre Direct Injected four-cylinder engine with
Variable Valve Timing (VVT), Terrain drivers enjoy more power and better fuel
effi ciency than Ford Escape, Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4.* For a higher level
of performance, there’s an available 264-horsepower 3.0-litre V6 with VVT,
also featuring advanced Direct Injection technology. A sophisticated six-speed
automatic transmission is standard with both engines. On models equipped
with the ECOTEC 2.4-litre engine, the transmission includes an ECO mode
that boosts effi ciency when it’s selected by the driver. Every Terrain model also
features a sophisticated chassis loaded with premium components, including
a four-wheel independent suspension with front and rear stabilizer bars.
An active all-wheel-drive (AWD) system is available for drivers who want an
extra measure of control in low-traction situations. |

RUGGED RIGHT DOWN TO ITS CORE.
Terrain doesn’t just look rugged. It surrounds you with a protective body structure featuring high-strength steel and ultra-high-strength steel components welded together to form a single, solid unit. Add OnStar with one year of the Safe and Sound Plan,* six standard air bags, crush zones, strategically located energy-absorbing materials and a host of other features and you have a 360-degree package of protection in the event of a crash. Perhaps even more important, Terrain is equipped to help keep that crash from happening in the first place. The list of active safety features includes 4-wheel disc brakes with an anti-lock braking system (ABS) that features Panic Brake Assist and Hill Start Assist. Standard traction control and StabiliTrak electronic stability control systems help to alleviate lateral skids, avoid rollovers and bring swaying trailers back under control, rounding out a complete safety package. |
