2018 GMC Terrain Near Naperville

2018 GMC Terrain For Sale Near Naperville, IL

The 2018 GMC Terrain is one of the most versatile SUV’s available, largely because it can be equipped with three different engines. Here’s a look at the different engines that 2018 GMC Terrain SUVs for sale near Naperville, Illinois can come with and what benefits each one offers.

The Standard 1.5-Liter: Balanced Power and Fuel Efficiency

The 2018 GMC Terrain comes with a standard 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that’s paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission. The engine offers an excellent balance of power and fuel efficiency, producing 170 horsepower and 203 pound-feet of torque while getting a combined 28 miles per gallon (with front-wheel drive).

In short, this 1.5-liter does everything that a standard engine should do. It meets the everyday needs of most drivers without overusing fuel. Whether driving around town, going on a road trip or towing a small trailer, this engine is more than capable.

The Available Diesel: Outstanding Highway Fuel Efficiency

An available 1.6-liter turbocharged diesel engine increases fuel efficiency, especially on the highway, while maintaining power where it matters. This engine puts out 137 horsepower, but that’s counterbalanced with 240 pound-feet of torque. The torque provides plenty of power for some towing.

In fuel efficiency, the diesel engine gets up to 32 combined miles per gallon, which includes 28 in the city and 39 on the highway. When equipped with this option, the 2018 GMC Denali becomes one of the most fuel-efficient SUVs on the market -- even outperforming some hybrid models in this category.

The diesel option is one that many drivers are interested in because of the fuel savings it provides. It’s especially attractive to drivers who take frequent long trips or have lengthy commutes, though. These drivers are able to take full advantage of the diesel’s highway fuel economy.

The Available 2.0-Liter: Ultimate Power in a Small Engine

An available 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder redefines conventional thinking and makes people reconsider what a four-cylinder is capable of. Thanks to the turbocharged technology, this engine is capable of producing 252 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. That’s not just comparable to what V6 engines offer, but it beats many larger V6 engines found on other SUVs.

Because this is a still four-cylinder engine, it’s also able to get a solid fuel economy. The 2.0-liter sees a combined 24 miles per gallon (with front-wheel drive).

Most drivers who select the 2.0-liter do so for the additional power it provides. With all this force, the 2018 GMC Terrain can tow up to 3,500 pounds when properly equipped. That’s sufficient for pulling many boats, campers and utility trailers.

In a few situations, drivers who want lots of in-vehicle features end up with this engine even though they don’t necessarily need the extra force. This happens because the 2018 GMC Terrain Denali SUVs for sale near Naperville, IL are the most feature-rich models, and they only come with this engine. In these situations, drivers usually don’t mind the extra power, especially since fuel efficiency is only minorly affected, and they appreciate all the features that are included.
