2013 GMC Terrain Denali Reviews
Highlights for the 2013 model highlights the 14% increase in power its V6 engine and 22% more torque in the new GMC Terrain Denali, whose manufacturing is done in the GMC plant in Ingersoll, Ontario in Canada.
What is striking is that despite the increase in power of the GMC Terrain Denali its fuel consumption levels were not altered, their averages were maintained at 24 miles per gallon. It is remarkable what good engineering can achieve in times like we live in, where the uncertainty of gas prices is a constant concern.
The Terrain Denali brings an advanced level of style and power well conjugates both its aesthetics and experience to handle him. Following the news of the 2013 model, now has attachments that add convenience and security especially as the alert system "Side Blind Zone Alert" and "Rear Cross Traffic Alert" which basically function as a virtual shield which warns about the proximity of other vehicles on the sides, when about one too on the back or if a risk of collision. The system also sends an alert when the car leaves its lane by an electronic signal (Lane Departure Warning) reflected in the instrument panel and a sound that at times can be a bit annoying but you get used to quickly. The good thing is that the system can be turned off if you prefer the user.

The GMC Terrain Denali we tried riding a 3.6-liter engine that produces an output of 301 horsepower and 272 lb.-ft. of torque. The secret of this engine is that it uses lightweight components that contribute to fuel economy without sacrificing power level.
The base model features a standard 2.4-liter Ecotec engine that produces 182 horsepower and a combined fuel economy of 32 miles per gallon. Obviously our preference, regardless of price, we deal with is the V6 engine has more thrust and better acceleration for natural reasons.
