Jamie Page Deaton: This is the GMC Terrain. Now if you're watching this, you're probably considering buying one. So here is what we're going to do. We're going to take you through the Terrain seating, its interior features, how it handles cargo, and how it drives; so you get the information that you need to decide if the Terrain is the right car for you.

We've collected and analyzed dozens of the most respected and credible car reviews of the Terrain. So you'll find out what car experts really think about it. So let's get started.

The Terrain is a small Crossover SUV. That means you get SUV space, but it rides on a car platform, so it drives more like a sedan. The Terrain has good fuel economy, a roomy backseat, and lots of standard features, including a standard rear-view camera, that something that's pretty rare to get in this class.

As a result of all the standards, the space, and the great fuel economy most car reviewers like the Terrain better than they like the competition. The Terrain's $24,000 starting price is expensive for the class, but most reviewers say that it's worth it. Standard features on the Terrain like the rear-view camera and satellite radio would end up costing you extra on other cars in the class.

In the end, most reviewers say that you end up paying more, but you also get more. The Terrain has been getting a lot of attention for its fuel economy, which is pretty impressive for an SUV. According to the EPA, the Terrain gets 22 miles per gallon in the city and 32 miles per gallon on the highway, and that's a best-in-class highway fuel economy rating, and that's even better than what some small cars get.

Now you can beat the Terrain's fuel economy with an SUV, but you're going to have to get a hybrid like the Ford Escape Hybrid. The downside of getting the Ford Escape Hybrid is even though you get better fuel economy it costs $5,000 more.

So reviewers have a lot of good things to say about the Terrain, but there are a few complaints. One that we heard most often was that the Terrain's styling is too aggressive and truck like for a crossover. But when you come down to it, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and whether you think the Terrain looks good, is really up to you.

So now you know that the GMC Terrain is a fuel-efficient compact SUV, but it has kind of a high starting price for the class at about $24,000. Check out our other videos on its seating, cargo space, interior features, and even how it drives.
