Benefits of Driving a 2013 GMC Terrain Sport Utility Crossover

Starting about $25,500, the 2013 GMC Terrain is one of the most affordable crossover vehicles in its class; a class that includes the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4. The interior features a dual-cockpit design; ice-blue ambient lighting and sophisticated, classy appearance touches that make it look much more expensive than it is.

What's new for 2013?

The GMC Terrain receives quite a few exciting revisions for 2013. An upscale Denali Model is now available featuring more luxury and a selection of 18 or 19-inch wheels. The optional V6 is new and now displaces 3.6 liters up from 3.0 last year. Despite this bump in size and corresponding bump in power, GMC has managed to keep fuel economy in line with the previous, smaller V6. A new Safety Package is available for 2013 and several new interior convenience features are available as well.

Model Strengths

• Powerful and efficient engine selection
• sharp styling inside and out
• both available engines are flex-fuel compatible

Model Review

The 2013 GMC Terrain is an exciting contender in the mid-size crossover segment. It uses the same platform as the Chevrolet Equinox and shares a general aesthetic with both the Acadia and the latest Chevrolet Malibu. The Terrain's rocker panels are integrated into the doors, narrowing the area over which a passenger must step. The body is stiffened with single-piece side stampings plus high-strength steel in critical areas.

Safety Ratings What do the Safety Ratings mean? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) performs independent crash testing of new vehicles and then assigns them a score based on their performance. The overall crash test rating is based on how a vehicle performs in the following tests: Driver Crash Grade: Measures the chance of a serious injury to a crash test dummy that is placed in a driver's seat and driven into a fixed barrier at 35 MPH. A five-star rating means there is 10 percent or less chance of injury. Passenger Crash Grade: Similar to the driver crash grade, only now the focus is on the passenger. Rollover Resistance: Simulates an emergency lane change to measure the likelihood of a vehicle rolling over. A five-star rating means there is 10 percent or less risk of rollover. Side Impact Crash Test - Front: Focuses on the front side of a vehicle. It simulates crashes that can occur in intersections by striking a 3,015-pound weight against the side of a vehicle at 38.5 MPH. A five-star rating means there is 5 percent or less chance of injury. Side Impact Crash Test - Rear: Similar to the front side impact test only now the focus is on the rear passenger.
