It-Terren tal-2014 mhuwiex ġdid u bħala prodott GMC, ċertament mhux high-end. Madankollu, il-verżjoni SLT -- trim wieħed taħt is-sub-marka Denali ta 'fuq fil-linja ta' grad professjonali ta 'trakkijiet GM -- għandha ħafna x'toffri lil dawk li jixxenqu tagħbijiet ta' kit u disinn estern robust.

Paragun rapidu mal-Mazda CX-5 GT tagħna miġbura reċentement 2015 Mazda CX-5 GT fit-tul għamel il-ftit lustre fuq il-GMC imtappan pjuttost malajr.



X'inhu Terren GMC?
It-Terren GMC tal-2014 huwa s-suċċessur spiritwali tal-Pontiac Torrent li ma jaħdimx. Peress li l-prodott li jaġixxi fil-livell tad-dħul fil-formazzjoni tal-GMC (bażi Sierra jiswa inqas), it-Terren jiftaħ il-bibien għax-xerrejja tal-marka għall-ġbir tagħhom ta 'CUVs u SUVs.

2014 GMC Terren Prezz u Speċifikazzjonijiet
It-Terren bażiku għandu prezz bl-imnut ta '$ 28,295. Fil-quċċata tal-munzell tpoġġi d-Denali ma 'AWD u l-prezz tal-bidu tagħha huwa ta' $ 40,995.

It-tester tiegħi kien SLT-2, li jibda minn $ 38,995. B'għażliet bħan-navigazzjoni u s-sistema ta 'divertiment ta' wara, l-aħħar tally kien $ 42,210.

It-Terreni GMC kollha huma kkonsenjati b'magna ta '182 horsepower 2.4L b'4 ċilindri, sakemm ma tkunx speċifikata l-301-horsepower 3.6L V6 fakultattiva. Fiż-żewġ każijiet, tiġi inkluża trażmissjoni awtomatika ta' 6 veloċitajiet.

Bħal fil-każ tas-CUVs tajbin kollha, AWD huwa disponibbli biex jissostitwixxi s-setup standard tal-FWD.

Is-sewqan tat-Terren GMC tal-2014
Bħala sewwieq ta 'kuljum, it-Terren bl-4-pot tiegħu, huwa adegwat. Iċ-ċaqliq madwar il-belt huwa ġestit tajjeb, mgħobbi jew le. It-trasmissjoni qatt mhi difettuża, tpartit minn ger għal ieħor mingħajr eżitazzjoni, u bla xkiel. Is-sejjer isir ftit aktar iebes hekk kif il-veloċitajiet flimkien mal-piżijiet jiżdiedu.

Li tgħaddi bit-Terren huwa kor, speċjalment meta mgħobbi. B'erba' adulti abbord u bil-għan li jintlaħqu 100 km/h minn 60 waqt li jingħaqdu fuq il-freeway hija meħtieġa maxx impenjat tat-throttle. L-istorbju li joħroġ huwa ferm inqas minn pjaċevoli, buzzy anke.

Biex iżżid insult għall-korriment, il-medja finali tiegħi tal-konsum tal-fjuwil kienet ftit aktar minn 12.5L / 100km. Fil-passat, testijiet tat-triq fuq Mazda CX-5s u Ford Escapes (biex insemmu ftit) f'kundizzjonijiet u temperaturi simili tas-sewqan, kellhom medja ta 'bejn 1.5L u 3L / 100km inqas.

Il-kwalità tar-rikba tal-GMC Terrain tal-2014 hija fuq l-istess livell tal-kompetituri tagħha. Dan huwa fejn is-segment verament jiddi meta mqabbel ma 'karozzi akbar u CUVs. Id-dimensjonijiet relattivament kompatti tagħhom jagħmluhom b'aġilità biżżejjed biex ikopru l-art tal-belt, u minkejja l-impronta iżgħar tagħhom jistgħu tipikament iżommu tagħhom stess permezz ta 'knis tat-toroq tal-pajjiż.

It-Terren huwa stabbli f'kull ħin u s-sospensjoni tgħaqqad il-kumdità b'doża tepid ta 'sport. L-istering tal-qawwa, rack-and-pinion jagħmel dak li għandu bżonn mar-roti ta 'quddiem. Il-brejkijiet kienu fil-fatt pjuttost tajbin b'rispons kbir mill-pedala u qawwa tajba ta 'waqfien.

Ġewwa u barra mit-terren GMC tal-2014
Il-qoxra ta 'barra imħatteb tat-Terren GMC tal-2014 hija mimlija hits u misses skont il-propensità tiegħek għal kaxxi u uċuħ minfuħin. Jien, għal wieħed, inħobb l-arkati engorged tat-Terren u l-pannelli ċatti.

It-trim Denali mixtieq iżid bosta bits satin-chrome inklużi roti, pannelli rocker, u l-firma honeycomb Denali grille.

Il-kabina tat-Terren hija idealment adattata għal erba 'adulti. Il-perċimes ta 'quddiem huma komdi biżżejjed, madankollu, il-bank ta' wara huwa l-aħjar għal żewġ bnedmin ta 'daqs normali jew tlett itfal. It-tronk huwa kapaċi biżżejjed għall-valur ta 'tmiem il-ġimgħa ta' tagħmir għall-ikkampjar. Iffittja u spiċċa jidhru tajbin, iżda kien hemm kwistjonijiet ...

Ilu ftit minn meta ltqajt ma 'vettura ġdida b'tant rattles dash. F'temperaturi eżatt taħt l-iffriżar (-5C per eżempju) id-daxxbord kollu jkun crick u crack away, kif ukoll ix-xemx. It-temperatura ħafna drabi hija fattur f'dawn is-sitwazzjonijiet, madankollu, it-temp -30C li esperjenzajna matul din ix-xitwa infernali qatt ma kellu effett bħal dan fuq vetturi tal-istampa tal-passat.

Tqabbil tat-Terren GMC tal-2014
Għal $ 42,210, l-SLT-2 4-pot jista 'jitħabbeb mal-Audi Q5, il-Klassi Mercedes GLK, il-Volvo XC60, u numru ta' plejers oħra kompatti ta 'lussu CUV. Dan huwa grupp iebes ħafna, anke esklussiv, ta 'CUVs biex tilgħab ballun magħhom.

Fil- "regolari" folla, l-akbar ostakli tat-Terren huma l-Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, Ford Escape, u Mazda CX-5. Dawn kollha huma reċenti ħafna u jaħdmu wkoll jew aħjar mill-GMC.

As an avid reader of all things car on Auto123.com (we hope, and thank you if you are), you'll have noticed the large number of stories and reviews related to the compact CUV segment. The volume of noise on the subject inevitably leads to more interest and more cars for us to review.

The 2014 Terrain is not new and as a GMC product, certainly not high-end. However, the SLT version -- one trim below the top-line Denali sub-brand in GM's professional grade line of trucks -- has much to offer those who crave loads of kit and a robust exterior design.

The difficulty with the 2014 GMC Terrain SLT-2 at this price point is that there are so many fish in the sea. The case can be difficult to make even though it does everything it needs to do well enough -- but is this enough? A rapid comparison with our recently picked-up 2015 Mazda CX-5 GT long-termer made the little lustre on the GMC tarnish quite rapidly.

What is a GMC Terrain?
The 2014 GMC Terrain is the spiritual successor to the defunct Pontiac Torrent. As the acting entry-level product in GMC's lineup (base Sierra is less expensive), the Terrain opens the doors to buyers of the brand to their collection of CUVs and SUVs.

2014 GMC Terrain Price and Specs
The basic Terrain has a retail price of $28,295. At the top of the heap sits the Denali with AWD and its starting price is of $40,995.

My tester was an SLT-2, which begins at $38,995. With options such as navigation and the rear entertainment system, the final tally was $42,210.

All GMC Terrains are delivered with a 182-horsepower 2.4L 4-cylinder engine, unless the optional 301-horsepower 3.6L V6 is specified. In both cases, a 6-speed automatic transmission is included.

As with all good CUVs, AWD is available to replace the standard FWD setup.

Driving the 2014 GMC Terrain
As a daily driver, the Terrain with its 4-pot, is adequate. Moving about town is well managed, laden or not. The transmission is never faulty, swapping from one gear to another without hesitation, and smoothly. The going gets a little tougher as speeds along with burdens increase.

Passing with the Terrain is a chore, especially when loaded. With four adults on board and a goal to reach 100 km/h from 60 while merging onto the freeway a committed mashing of the throttle is required. The noise that ensues is far less than pleasant, buzzy even.

To add insult to injury, my final fuel consumption average was just over 12.5L/100km. In the past, road tests on Mazda CX-5s and Ford Escapes (to name a few) in similar driving conditions and temperatures, averaged between 1.5L and 3L/100km less.

The 2014 GMC Terrain's ride quality is on par with its competitors. This is where the segment really shines compared to larger cars and CUVs. Their relatively compact dimensions make them agile enough to cover city ground, and despite their smaller footprint can typically hold their own through country road sweepers.

The Terrain is stable at all times and the suspension juggles comfort with a tepid dose of sport. The power, rack-and-pinion steering does what it needs to with the front wheels. Brakes were actually quite good with great response from the pedal and good stopping power.

Inside and Out of the 2014 GMC Terrain
The 2014 GMC Terrain's rugged outer shell is full of hits and misses depending on your propensity for boxes and swollen surfaces. I, for one, love the Terrain's engorged arches and flat panels.

The coveted Denali trim adds numerous satin-chrome bits including wheels, rocker panels, and the signature honeycomb Denali grille.

The Terrain's cabin is ideally suited for four adults. The front perches are comfortable enough, however, the rear bench is best for two normal-size humans or three children. The trunk is capacious enough for a weekend's worth of camping gear. Fit and finish look good, but there were issues...

It's been a while since I've come across a new vehicle with so many dash rattles. At temperatures just below freezing (-5C for example) the entire dashboard would crick and crack away, as would the sunroof. Temperature is often a factor in these situations, however, the -30C weather we've experienced over this hellish winter never had such an effect on past press vehicles.

Comparing the 2014 GMC Terrain
At $42,210, the SLT-2 4-pot could tangle with the Audi Q5, the Mercedes GLK-Class, the Volvo XC60, and a number of other luxury compact CUV players. This is a very tough, even exclusive, group of CUVs to play ball with.

In the “regular” crowd, the Terrain's biggest obstacles are the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, Ford Escape, and Mazda CX-5. All of these are very recent and perform as well or better than the GMC.
