About This 2019 GMC Terrain SLE

At 124,010 miles, this 2019 GMC Terrain SLE has lived a full life on the road — and that's not a bad thing. The Terrain generation launched in 2018 was completely redesigned, making this model year part of GMC's second-generation platform that emphasized a more carlike feel, refined interior quality, and modern safety tech.

2019 GMC Terrain Performance and Engine

1.5-Liter Turbocharged 4-Cylinder Engine

Under the hood, the 2019 Terrain SLE runs a 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine paired to a 9-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. This powertrain produces around 170 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque — enough for confident city driving through Detroit traffic and comfortable highway cruising on I-75 or I-96.

The 9-speed transmission is one of the smoothest in its class at this price point, offering well-spaced gear ratios that keep the engine in its efficient power band. The all-wheel drive system makes this Terrain a smart pick for Michigan winters, giving drivers added confidence on icy or snow-packed roads throughout Wayne County and beyond.

GMC Terrain Features and Interior

What the SLE Trim Includes

The SLE is GMC's base trim on the Terrain, but "base" is somewhat misleading here. The 2019 Terrain SLE comes equipped with a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, a rearview camera, OnStar connectivity, and automatic climate control. Safety features include lane keep assist, forward collision alert, and rear cross-traffic alert — a solid suite for a used SUV in this price range.

Inside, the cabin feels more upscale than the Terrain's price suggests. The seating is supportive, rear passenger space is genuinely usable, and cargo room behind the rear seats is competitive with rivals like the Ford Escape and Honda CR-V.

GMC Terrain Reliability and Ownership

The second-generation GMC Terrain has earned a reasonable reliability reputation, with most owners reporting few major mechanical surprises through the 100k-150k mile range. The 1.5-liter turbo engine has been generally dependable, though staying current on oil changes — especially using the correct full-synthetic oil — is key to keeping this powerplant running strong.

The 9-speed transmission does best when serviced on schedule. Prospective buyers should ask about transmission fluid history, and a pre-purchase inspection is always a smart move on any high-mileage vehicle. Overall, the second-gen Terrain scores well in owner satisfaction surveys, with drivers praising the smooth ride, quiet cabin, and easy-to-use infotainment system.
