    So far over 22k trouble-free miles on my ‘18 diesel since last May with an overall hand-calculated average of 40.4 mpg at a 75% Highway/25% City split. Have zero issues passing people at highway speeds even when loaded up with people and/or cargo (especially through the mountains), and still easily obtain low to mid 40 mpg while cruising at 75 mph. Best tankful to date is 48.6 mpg poking along at 72 mph during one of the multiple road trips we take annually, but the most impressive result was an almost 3,500 mile trip last summer from Ohio to Florida and back with the Terrain loaded up to 4,700# GVW with us and all of our stuff (Cat Scale verified), cruising at 75 mph the entire trip with the AC blasting for comfort, and still managed a 41 mpg average when it was over.

      You can actually support vehicle selection of transmission position without those stupid looking buttons. Other automakers use a simulated traditional shifter with a flip selector. So yes, push buttons are not necessarily. They would've been better served to use what they use in it's Equinox twin. Furthermore,until autonomy is offered on this vehicle there's no need to implement an autonomy ready shifter. I agree with Mr. Smith. It looks tacky and it serves no purpose at this time.

    I don't understand why GM had to put this tiny low HP engine in the Terrain instead of the 2.8 diesel with 200 HP from the Chevy Colorado pickup. It would've done 60 at least 1-2 seconds faster with that and the fuel economy wouldn't be much different. Seriously, why GM? It doesn't make any sense! This engine is for a small hatchback, like a Chevy Cruze, not a large SUV.

      It's pretty large. By modern standards it is in the compact class, but vehicles have grown so much in size in past decades it is pretty large by normal standards. Compare it to compact SUVs from 20 years ago. Compare the Toyota RAV-4 or Honda CRV from the 90s to today. They have all gotten large and fat and such a small 136 HP engine isn't going to be fast in one.

      Well, it might not be large by your ridiculous American standards but it is pretty large in reality. It's 4630 mm long. My 1997 Volvo V40, which is quite a long car, is 4480 mm long. The Terrain weighs over 3800 lbs. Don't you think that's quite a lot of weight for 136 HP. The acceleration is pretty good considering the weight.

    While I would rather have the diesel version, my current ride is a 2017 Chvy Equinox with the 2.4 4 cyl. engine. Just last weekend, I made a 1,021 mile trip with it and achieved an mpg rating of 40 on the hwy. It's such a slow vehicle, I actually hate the thing. But, those mpg numbers are close enough to my VW diesel that it almost makes up for it. Still, if given the opportunity, I would certainly get the diesel over the gas version any day.

    My wife's 1.6 AWD Ecoboost Escape get's 37mpg on the highway during summer months with winter tires still installed and 4-people in the vehicle. We live in Alaska and this through very hilly terrain. Our best on level ground and a warm day was 42mpg for about 100 miles - including tailwind :-)
    However, before this Escape was broken-in (not talking about 800 mile break-in), it would only get a mix of 22 mpg (27 mpg last winter with 60% city driving). Somewhere around the 8-10k mile mark is when it seemed to have more power and became much more efficient.

  • @Trendyflute
    @Trendyflute 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    The energy density of diesel fuel is about 23% greater than gasoline, so when you compare similar diesel/gas fuel economies...you'll typically note that the diesels are that 23% better.
    There's no real magic with diesels. You trade the faster, higher revving combustion (typically requiring spark ignition control, though that's finally starting to change with HCCI stuff) of a shorter carbon, lower-energy-density hydrocarbon for the slower, lower revving combustion that works uses high pressures to induce ignition without a spark that uses the longer carbon, higher-energy-density hydrocarbon of diesel. You could go even farther in the long chain direction with fuel oil, wax, and coal (those latter ones would almost certainly have to be external combustion, aka boiler, engines), or in the short chain direction (propane and natural gas). These different fuels burn at different rates and temperatures and result in different emissions byproducts that have different "pros and cons" on the environment and human health. That's the plain truth. I do wish diesel fuel economy wasn't treated like magic, because it's not.

    I've been looking around for an eventual replacement for my Acura TSX sedan - wanting something with a hatch and AWD. I'm considering small SUVs but also now intrigued by some wagon models, but not luxury ones. Besides Subarus, there is the Golf Alltrak and Buick Regal TourX. It's interesting that the Golf Alltrak has about the same cargo room as this Terrain with seats up and down. Sure, the rear seat leg room might be a bit tighter. But why drive a large vehicle if it doesn't do anything for you. Some may like the view and actually use the extra ground clearance at times, including me, but 99%+ of the time being on the road, I would prefer the better handling of a car, considering I'm coming from the sporty Acura. Not saying this Terrain or SUVs are bad, just struggling trying to find something that I'm happy driving to work 30 miles each way that can also hold my stuff when I go camping.

  • @brianlee5649
    @brianlee5649 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Despite it being a diesel, it still has start-stop, just like the Equinox Diesel. I've seen it on all diesels except for the Cayenne Diesel, but for the ML350 Bluetec and the X3/X5 35d as well as the 328d and 535d. yes. And I know, start-stop is (and has been) the stupidest new feature on new cars these days as of 2019 onwards.

Bad workmanship, materials are not great, spends alot of time in the shop, rough idle, radio system - LOTS and LOTS of problems there. My suggestion, look at anything else.

I’ll keep my Terrain diesel that has no problem getting 40+ mpg at 75 mph while loaded with passengers and full of cargo, and also with full emissions crap intact . If I need to pull tree stumps out and tow heavy loads, I’ll use my truck.

    There's absolutely zero need for this wimpy diesel to be in this vehicle. It doesn't even have the best towing capability in its engine lineup. Plus you'll more than likely never recoup to cost of the diesel engine, seeing as diesel is more expensive than gasoline in most areas.

    • @HighGear7445
      @HighGear7445 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Diesels are not for grocery runs, more for people that do longer distant driving, that would be the only need for this SUV. One advantage I've found is it's a treat not to have to fill the tank so often , especially in inclement weather (VW TDI owner). One main advantage is a potential for a far greater engine life and there is where you may, might, maybe ,(HEH HEH) recoup your investment.
      Diesel fuel is more expensive but diesels are more efficient so that is a wash.
      I could be interested in this SUV if it had a bigger diesel and you didn't have to get a fully loaded version just to get the diesel engine. And get rid of the pushbutton transmission ...jeez, wasn't that something Mercury tried in the early 60's....nobody wants that.
      I think GMC really needs to rethink a few things.

      It's a diesel, it makes it's power differently. more usable in the real world than a turbo gas motor. the 9.9 second figure is looong but how often are you pedal to the floor 0-60 in a Terrain? .. I do however believe that someone SHOULD make a tune for this thing asap. GM has a bad habit of electronically sapping the life out of their vehicles. I'd still blow people's doors off in it though lol.

    This is a beautiful SUV but Diesel engine is a poor choice. It's obviously under powered for the weight and Diesel are costly to maintain and fragile. On top of that those engines are great polluter. The 2.0 turbo mated with the 9 speed is a much better choice.

    • @jrtruckltd

      And then there are bone heads like you who dislike diesels without having any knowledge about them. You cant beat diesels in torque and efficiency. What happens when you burn 4 times morr fuel with v8 gas suv. I bet its not causing any pollution right?

    • @marcelb7259
      @marcelb7259 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      The "bone head" used to live in Europe where 85% of the vehicule are Diesel. And btw the technology was invented by an European (Rudolf Diesel). Diesel are a big source of pollution like NOx and SOx which append to be be carcinogen counpounds. And why are you talking about V8 ? The gasoline engine is a very efficient 4 cylinder with direct injection and turbo.

    • @bmw803
      @bmw803 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      We're in 2018 , not in 1990. Have you driven a diesel in the past few years? Diesels have DPF and DEF system, which makes them cleaner than older gas vehicles. You're right about bad engine choice. They should have put a bigger one. Finally, maintaning a diesel is not costlier than a gas car. What's more expensive are certain parts such as the fuel pump. And diesels are not more fragile. They are more PRECISE. They're stronger built, because they operate at much higher pressure.
