Optional diesel engine is no longer available.Updated suspension for Denali models intended to improve ride quality.Changes to standard and optional safety equipment.At the top of the Terrain range is the Denali, which receives unique styling cues and interior trim as well as most of the optional features from the above trim levels. A new optional Denali Premium package tops it all off with features such as ventilated front seats, adaptive cruise control and a surround-view parking camera system.
Pros Comfortable and upscale interior Optional 2.0-liter engine is efficient and powerful Touchscreen interfaces are intuitive and easy to use
Cons Price with options runs higher than average for the class Disappointing base engine Less cargo space behind the back seat than most competitors
The 2020 GMC Terrain is a stylish crossover SUV that we wish had more standard safety gear.
Pros Arresting style Rides well Denali feels almost luxurious Good infotainment system
Cons Annoying all-wheel-drive system Thirsty engines Active safety should be standard Price escalates fast
The 2020 GMC Terrain features an impressive set of standard safety features and a handsome cabin, but neither area is best in class. Add in moderate performance and a small cargo area, and the Terrain's spot in the bottom half of our compact SUV rankings is understandable.
Pros Lots of standard advanced safety features Considerable rear-seat legroom Upscale, comfortable cabin Good city mpg rating with base engine
Cons Small cargo area behind back seat Sleepy base engine Above-average price for the class
If you want a small car that’s well-equipped, relatively spacious and styled like a chunky SUV then the Renault Captur is in with a shout
Pros Cheap running costs Spacious for a small car Funky looks
Cons Noisy diesel engines Not much fun to drive No four-wheel-drive option
The updated Renault Captur is still a looker, and is cheaper to own and run than you might imagine. The flagship Zen is an interesting Hyundai Kona/Toyota C-HR/Mazda CX-3 rival.
Pros Looks great, brimming with character Agile urban dynamics None of your friends own one Cheaper to own/run than you'd think...
Cons No airbags for rear passengers Unsettled over sharp bumps EDC transmission less suitable than a torque-converter-style unit
Pros Spacious Well-equipped Good value
Cons Interior quality Gearbox Limited engine choice
