The redesigned Terrain and its twin, the Chevrolet Equinox, bring tidier dimensions, in line with the small SUV segment.
The new Terrain packs the latest infotainment and safety technology, and two four-cylinder turbocharged engines.
The base engine is a 170-hp 1.5-liter, and the uplevel choice is a 252-hp 2.0-liter.
Both are mated to a nine-speed automatic.
A diesel engine, paired to a six-speed automatic, is also be available.

The infotainment system is one of the easier ones to use.
An off-road AT4 version is new.
