"  Track Performance: C+ Road Performance: C+ Ease of Use: B+ Comfort and Roominess: B- The Terrain is certainly rugged \u2014 we&amp;#039;d expect nothing less from truck-maker GMC \u2014 but it also offers great styling and plenty of premium features. Though it wasn&amp;#039;t a top scorer in GHRI tests, this crossover is still a capable vehicle. Just don&amp;#039;t expect sporty handling or full truck capabilities. The price might also be a lot to stomach; the Terrain was one of the most expensive cars tested \u2014 but keep in mind that many of the premium features come standard. Driving Experience The GMC&amp;#039;s four-cylinder engine might be a little on the small side, but it was able to keep up with the pack, turning in average acceleration in Car &amp;amp;amp; Driver&amp;#039;s track tests. Braking was less impressive however, and the Terrain didn&amp;#039;t do a great job gripping the road during sharp turns. Road noise levels were low, but that wasn&amp;#039;t enough to keep this crossover out of the bottom of scores for track testing. When we took it out on the road, we found the Terrain&amp;#039;s six speed automatic transmission poor, but its handling and maneuverability were surprisingly decent considering the GMC&amp;#039;s size. The crossover&amp;#039;s larger body did work to its advantage when it came to visibility, allowing for a better view of the road than most crossovers in our test. The Terrain was smooth on the highway and over bumps, but it&amp;#039;s not sporty at all. The turning radius is notably large, a major drawback for the car. The Terrain&amp;#039;s size also did not help when it came to fuel efficiency: the GMC crossover had the lowest combined rating among the test group at 19 mpg. Infotainment System &amp;amp;amp; Controls When it came to infotainment systems, the Terrain had an unimpressive offering. Media options weren&amp;#039;t intuitive, and our model didn&amp;#039;t include navigation options. The phone system had good Bluetooth capabilities, but the dashboard was cluttered making it complicated to navigate the controls. The display was okay and a touch screen is standard, which is a plus, but the Terrain&amp;#039;s sensitive collision alert became annoying in short time. Interior &amp;amp;amp; Design Front passengers will love the Terrain&amp;#039;s roomy, comfortable seating, and generous glove box and armrest storage. (We could fit a whole laptop in the armrest!) However, the back row isn&amp;#039;t nearly as comfortable, with stiff seats and only two options for adjustment and reclining. Neither row can adjust the headrest either. The Terrain offers a decent amount of cargo space, but not nearly as much as the leaders in our test. The rear seats are easy to fold down for a little extra room, but we found them heavy to fold back up and they don&amp;#039;t lay totally flat. The rear wheel detracts from space, but on the plus side, car-seat installation was simple.
