In a GMC Terrain, how many cylinders are there?

My family needs a second car and we’re looking for an SUV that can handle commuting and occasional family road trips across the mountains. Power is good but not essential. In a GMC Terrain, how many cylinders are there?

The
GMC Terrain
has four cylinders on every trim level—there is no V6 option on this vehicle.
In previous Terrains, there was an option for a turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder engine. Unfortunately, this is no longer available on the 2022 and newer model year GMC Terrain. The only engine choice in the Terrain is a 1.5L four-cylinder with about 175 horsepower.
This vehicle could be a good pick for your family, given what you’ve said about commuting and road trips. It’s attractive on the outside and spacious on the inside, and the starting MSRP is $31,295. That’s a pretty appealing package!
Some reviewers have been unhappy with the Terrain’s acceleration and performance. It might be worth test-driving some V6 SUVs to feel the difference. Try the Ford Explorer with available V6 (starting at $50,755 for the ST trim level) or the Kia Telluride (V6 standard in every trim level, starting at $34,725 for the LX).
Just remember that V6s guzzle more gas, so your cost at the pump will be noticeably higher than with a four-cylinder vehicle.
