The 2021 GMC Terrain has become popular with families and other people looking for a daily driver. However, if you’re interested in taking yours off the asphalt, this SUV also has some nice off-road ability.
The Denali is the Best Trim for Going Off Road
The base engine in the 2021 GMC Terrain is a 1.5-liter four-cylinder unit that puts out 170 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque.
It’s the engine in the Denali trim, however, that you’ll want for serious off-roading. This one is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder that generates 252 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. And while all-wheel drive is available in all trims, it’s standard with the Denali.
What Else Makes the Denali a Great Off-Roader?
In addition to a powerful engine and all-wheel drive, the 2021 GMC Terrain Denali has a few more tricks up its sleeve. It comes with:
A Premium Suspension with Enhanced Shock Control
The 2021 GMC Terrain Denali trim’s suspension system consists of strong shocks and struts that utilize internal valves to help create a more refined and comfortable ride no matter the terrain. It also uses urethane spring isolators to cut down on noise.
Hill Descent Control
If your off-road adventures may involve going down steep slopes, you’ll appreciate the hill descent control feature. It becomes engaged at the push of a button, and then the antilock brakes will allow your vehicle to have a smooth and controlled descent.
High-Definition Surround Vision
This available feature utilizes multiple cameras to show you an overhead image of the area around the vehicle. This will give you the ability to always know about any obstacles you may encounter.
