2019 GMC Terrain at CarSmart Of Jackson

Overview


The 2019 GMC Terrain underwent a complete redesign, shedding its previous blocky aesthetics for a more polished and contemporary appearance. It offers three turbocharged four-cylinder engine options, including an efficient diesel variant. The Terrain prioritizes comfort, boasting a refined chassis that rivals luxury vehicles for smoothness. However, it leans more towards comfort rather than engaging driving dynamics.


What's New for 2019 GMC Terrain?


The 2019 model year introduced the Black Edition package available on the SLE and SLT models, featuring a unique darkened grille and black exterior trim. Additionally, the SLT model now offers a Chrome package that swaps the black features for chrome, adding a touch of sophistication.


Enhancements in Safety Features


  • The optional Driver Alert II package, available on SLT and Denali trims, now includes adaptive cruise control and pedestrian detection.

  • A new 360-degree camera option enhances visibility and safety on the Denali model.


Engine, Transmission, Performance, and Towing


The Terrain is available with three engine choices:


  • The base model features a 170-hp 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder.

  • A 137-hp 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder diesel focuses on fuel efficiency.

  • The top-tier 252-hp 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder offers the most responsive and engaging driving experience.


While the base engine is somewhat underwhelming in power, the 2.0-liter engine provides ample thrust, achieving 0-60 mph in just 6.8 seconds. The Terrain can tow up to 3500 pounds when equipped with the 2.0-liter turbo engine, making it a versatile choice for a variety of driving needs.


CarSmart Pro Tip Of the Day

At CarSmart Of Jackson, we pride ourselves on providing not just quality pre-owned vehicles but also valuable insights to enhance your car buying experience. Today’s CarSmart Pro Tip Of the Day is all about the luxurious features you should consider when purchasing your next vehicle.

Heated seats are a must-have, especially during those chilly Missouri winters. They provide immediate warmth and add a touch of luxury to your daily drive. Pair those with a heated steering wheel, and you'll never have to endure a cold morning commute again. Both features are often available in higher trim levels, so it's worth checking the specifications of the model you're interested in.

For those who appreciate the finer things in life, leather seats offer not only comfort but also durability and easy maintenance. They give your vehicle a premium feel and are often paired with other luxury features like a hands-free liftgate. This feature allows you to open your trunk with a simple foot motion under the bumper – perfect for when your hands are full of groceries or gear.

Another feature that can enhance both the appearance and performance of your vehicle is alloy wheels or premium wheels. These wheels are not only stylish but also lighter and stronger than standard steel wheels, improving your vehicle's handling and fuel efficiency.

At CarSmart Of Jackson, our knowledgeable sales staff is here to help you navigate these options and find the best fit for your needs. We ensure that every vehicle on our lot, from base models to those with premium trim levels, meets our high standards of quality.

So, whether you’re looking for heated seats, a heated steering wheel, leather seats, a hands-free liftgate, or premium wheels, CarSmart Of Jackson has you covered with a range of quality pre-owned vehicles. Visit us today and let our expert team help you find the perfect vehicle with all the features you desire.

Interior, Infotainment, and Cargo


Key Features


  • Available in both standard 7.0-inch and upgraded 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment systems.

  • Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and an onboard Wi-Fi hotspot come standard.

  • The interior space is versatile with a 60/40 split-folding rear seat and an available fold-flat front seat, providing ample cargo space.


While the interior is versatile, it has been critiqued for mixed material quality and an unconventional push-button gear selector, which might be off-putting for some users.


Safety and Driver-Assistance Features


The Terrain is generally well-regarded for safety, though it missed out on the Top Safety Pick award due to the underperformance of its headlamps in tests. Essential safety features such as automated emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control are available as options, providing peace of mind for our customers at CarSmart Of Jackson.
