Touchscreen interfaces are intuitive and easy to use

Cons

Less cargo space behind the back seat than in most competitors

GMC hasn't made any big changes to the Terrain for 2021, but it has given the compact SUV a boost in the driver-assistance department. The Pro Safety Plus package now comes standard across the lineup and includes automated emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and more.

Pros
Spacious cabin and cargo area,
efficient powertrains,
brisk acceleration with the optional turbo four.

Cons
A few cheap interior bits,
annoying shifter buttons,
expensive compared with class-leading SUVs.
