Question:What Engine Options Does the 2019 GMC Terrain Offer?

Answer:

One of the biggest factors that separates the 2019 GMC Terrain from the competition is the crossover’s engine options. While many similar compact SUVs offer only one or two engine options, the 2019 Terrain offers three very unique engine choices for a variety of different types of crossover SUV shoppers.

The standard engine is a 1.5-liter 4-cylinder turbocharged, which offers a very balanced mixture of performance and fuel economy, with 170 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque. Fuel economy is rated at 28 combined MPG for FWD-equipped models and 26 combined MPG for AWD-equipped models.

The upgraded engine option is a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder turbocharged that beefs up the performance. In fact, this 2.0-liter engine is one of the most powerful engine options available on a compact crossover SUV, featuring 252 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Fuel economy is rated at 24 combined MPG for FWD-equipped models and 24 combined MPG for AWD-equipped models.

The most unique engine option available in the 2019 GMC Terrain is the 1.6-liter 4-cylinder turbo diesel, one of the only diesel options available in its class. This peppy little engine has incredible power for its size, with 137 horsepower and 240 lb-ft of torque. But where it’s really meant to shine is its fuel economy, which is rated at 32 combined MPG for both FWD and AWD models.
