Distinguished by a new, more contemporary appearance and additional enhancements, the refreshed 2016 GMC Terrain lineup – now at a showroom near you – continues to be a smart choice for customers seeking versatility, style and technology.
For 2016, the Terrain’s bold design has been restyled and updated. It now features a redesigned front and rear fascia with chrome accents; new LED daytime running lamps on uplevel models; new 18- and 19-inch wheel designs; premium cloth seat fabric (now standard on SLE models); a new power dome hood design; a revised instrument panel “center stack” with new storage shelf and updated control graphics; and a new, chrome-trimmed transmission shifter.
The 2016 Terrain is offered in front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive models, in SLE and SLT trim levels, as well as the Denali. All models include four-wheel disc brakes with StabiliTrak electronic stability control and traction control, as well as six standard air bags: dual frontal air bags, head curtain side air bags and pelvic/thorax seat-mounted side air bags.
All models seat five and the exclusive MultiFlex sliding rear seat is standard. The interior also offers up to 894 liters of cargo space behind the rear seat and 1,809 liters with the rear seat folded. The standard Ecotec 2.4L direct-injected engine delivers an EPA-estimated 32 mpg on the highway (FWD models). A direct-injected 3.6L V-6 is available and delivers best-in-class 301 horsepower and 369 Nm of torque. The V-6 engine also enables a trailering capacity of up to 1,588 kg.
Terrain also offers a programmable power liftgate (standard on Denali, available on SLT), with a memory function that stops the liftgate at a chosen height to help accommodate low garage heights.
In addition to available Side Blind Zone Alert and Rear Cross Traffic Alert safety features – previously only found on Denali but now available on SLE and standard on SLT – Terrain offers Rear Park Assist, Forward Collision Alert and Lane Departure Warning as part of comprehensive safety packages.
Inside the Terrain’s spacious cabin, premium interior features have been designed with high standards of functionality and materials that exude a commanding and structured feel. Interior color choices for 2016 include Jet Black, Light Titanium and Brownstone, along with new Saddle, which is offered exclusively on SLT. Terrain Denali is offered in Jet Black and new Light Titanium/Jet Black.
Terrain Denali
The Terrain Denali brings an exceptional level of style, power and refinement to the segment. Unique exterior and interior appointments, exclusive wheels and design cues set it apart from competitors. A chrome grille, body-color fascias and rocker moldings, satin-chrome accents, specific headlamp and taillamp designs, and dual chrome-finish exhaust outlets convey a look of superior finishes. Denali-specific 19-inch wheels complete its sculpted appearance.
Interior highlights offer a sophisticated feel with soft-touch Jet Black leather lining the seats and door inserts. Denali-exclusive touches such as contrast stitching, along with a soft-touch instrument panel and leather-wrapped steering wheel with smoked mahogany wood accents, contribute to a luxurious interior.
Dual-flow dampers are exclusive to the Terrain Denali’s suspension system and provide a smoother ride and improved handling by controlling suspension dampening across a broader range of driving conditions.
The 2016 GMC Terrain lineup is now available for sale across showrooms in the Middle East – starting from 93,000 AED (138,000 AED for Denali) – with a three-year/100,000 kilometers warranty and four years of Roadside Assistance. — SG
