The 2011 GMC Terrain ranks 1 out of 23 Affordable Compact SUVs. This ranking is based on our analysis of 23 published reviews and test drives of the GMC Terrain, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.
The 2011 GMC Terrain gives compact SUV buyers refinement, high-tech standard features and great fuel economy. However with so many standards, the Terrain has a high starting price for the class.
In a sea of rounded lookalike compact SUVs, the 2011 GMC Terrain stands out with angular, truck-like styling. It also stands out thanks to its long list of standard features, which includes a rearview camera, something that’s a rare standard feature even among luxury SUVs. Most reviewers say that the Terrain is more refined and carlike than the competition, making it an excellent choice for a family SUV.
While the Terrain isn’t perfect -- its cargo space doesn’t lead the class and it’s not all that maneuverable in parking lots -- it should still be on any family-SUV buyer’s list. When it comes to size, the Terrain straddles the line between compact and midsize SUVs, but when it comes to fuel economy, the Terrain is hard for even smaller SUVs to beat. Edmunds says the Terrain (along with its platform mate, the Chevrolet Equinox) “is a top choice for a compact crossover SUV."

The Terrain is available in two trims, the base SLE and SLT, in either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive and with a four-cylinder or V6 engine. Opting for all-wheel drive and/or the V6 engine decreases the great estimated fuel economy on the Terrain.
  • "GMC's smallest SUV earns our nod for passenger accommodations and overall refinement. Compared with the similar Chevrolet Equinox, Terrain offers unique styling, additional standard equipment, and available cloth seating that is notably upmarket of its sibling. Both Terrain and Equinox merit serious consideration from midsize-crossover shoppers."
  • "Stalwarts like Cadillac and Corvette may hold the key to a company's history, but if new models continue to be executed with the same thought and attention to detail as the GMC Terrain, GM should be able to forge ahead and recapture the respect it has fought so hard to earn in recent years." -
  • "If you are in the market, you really ought to add this one to the top of your list."
  • "It's a great compact SUV, no question there. It's just not any greater than the Equinox." -
  • "If the handsome and cohesive design is any indicator, this could be GMC's best small SUV ever."
