The 2018 GMC Terrain at the Canadian International Auto Show

2018 GMC Terrain

GMC revealed the all-new 2018 Terrain at the Canadian International Auto Show. Representing the next chapter of GMC design, the boldly styled and intelligently engineered successor to the brand’s popular compact SUV, it offers greater refinement and versatility. The next-generation Terrain is packed with more available advanced safety technologies than ever before.

"Canadian customers are drawn to the premium nature of our professional grade products and the 2018 Terrain offers them the widest range of choices yet," said Mike Speranzini, brand director, GMC in Canada. "The all-new Terrain delivers bold design, capability and precision to the fastest growing segment in the market."

A range of three all-new turbocharged engines, including an all-new 1.6L turbo-diesel, provides performance, efficiency and capability in the all-new 2018 GMC Terrain. It is the only SUV in its class to offer new 1.5L and 2.0L turbocharged gas engines that are matched with new standard nine-speed automatic transmissions.

GMC's new Electronic Precision Shift enables more storage room in the centre console by replacing the conventional transmission shifter with electronically controlled gear selection consisting of intuitive push buttons and pull triggers. A new fold-flat front passenger seat and flat-folding rear seat help Terrain offer greater versatility for stowing longer items and make it easier to load cargo.

An expanded range of available active safety technologies is designed to enhance driver awareness and help make it easier to park and maneuver in low-speed situations. The new Terrain also features GMC's new Rear Seat Reminder and Teen Driver. Rear Seat Reminder alerts drivers to check the back seat as they exit their vehicles under certain circumstances, while Teen Driver allows parents to set controls and review an in-vehicle report card in order to help encourage better driving habits, even when adults are not in the vehicle.

GMC keeps passengers connected with 7- and available 8-inch-diagonal infotainment systems, featuring compatibility with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality and a standard OnStar 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot (data plan purchase required after limited trial period) that can accommodate up to seven mobile devices. Owners can also manage their vehicles remotely with the industry-leading myGMC mobile app via their compatible smartphones.

The 2018 Terrain goes on sale this summer in SLE, SLT and Denali models, maintaining the momentum created by the first-generation model, of which more than 750,000 have been sold in North America since it went on sale in 2009.
