Introduction
The compact crossover SUV segment is one of the few vehicle classes currently experiencing growth in the U.S., and auto manufacturers are moving swiftly to develop and introduce new models. Making its world debut at the 2009 New York International Auto Show, the 2010 GMC Terrain is the latest crossover SUV from GM’s “professional grade” truck division. The new Terrain is smaller than GMC’s other crossover SUV, the midsize Acadia, which was introduced for the 2007 model year.

The new, 5-passenger Terrain is available with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive (FWD or AWD) and features a new, 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine with direct-injection technology that is expected to deliver best-in-segment highway fuel economy of 30 mpg. The 2010 GMC Terrain will be on sale starting in late summer of 2009. Competitors will include the Ford Escape, Mazda CX-7, Nissan Rogue and the Hyundai Tucson.
