The new 2010 GMC Terrain is all set for a debut at the New York Auto Show, and the five-passenger crossover SUV does have some impressive figures to root for. There are two engine options, a 2.4-l four-cylinder engine, and a 3.0-l DOHC direct injection V6. The main attraction for the 2.4-l engine is its segment-topping fuel efficiency of 30mpg. On a press of the “ECO” mode console-mounted button, the vehicle goes into fuel saving gear, lowering the torque converter lockup speed to 1,125 rpm and providing better fuel efficiency. Power rating for this engine is at 182hp.

The more powerful 3.0-l DOHC direct injection V6 has power output at 264hp, and delivers fuel efficiency on the highway at 25 miles to the gallon. Transmission for both the engines is a six-speed automatic. The 2.4-l models also get an Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) technology that minimizes noise in the cabin for a quiet driving experience.
