The 2018 GMC Terrain Brings Back Gear Selector Buttons

The redesigned 2018 GMC Terrain has caught the attention of drivers from across the country. It’s one of the most technologically advanced crossovers in the segment. As soon as you sit behind the wheel, you will notice that the all-new Terrain doesn’t have a traditional gear shifter. GMC’s new Precision Shift Gear feature is designed to free up extra storage space in the front. Mounted under the center stack, gear selector buttons allow you to control the crossover’s nine-speed automatic transmission.

The Precision Shift Gear selector’s simplicity makes it easy for drivers to transition from using a regular shifter. After taking a few drives in the 2018 GMC Terrain, the entire process will quickly become second nature. Most importantly, GMC’s new push-button transmission is engineered to be incredibly safe. In the near future, expect other GMC vehicles to also offer this innovative feature.

Of course, the 2018 model introduces several other advanced features. GMC’s new Traction Select system helps you to maneuver in a variety of different conditions. Meanwhile, the Terrain’s optional AWD system can disengage the rear wheels to save fuel in dry weather.

Expect the new GMC Terrain to deliver ample performance on the road. You will have three turbocharged four-cylinder engines to choose from. While the base 1.5L engine will satisfy most people, the larger 2.0L engine packs an even stronger punch. For the drivers who desire the maximum fuel economy, GMC offers a new diesel engine.

Powerful exterior styling is yet another one of the 2018 GMC Terrain’s highlights. Its bold front fascia and athletic body will cause onlookers to take a second glance. Boasting standard LED headlamps and an exclusive set of 19-inch wheels, the top-of-the-line Denali model has an especially striking appearance.

A spacious interior design makes the new Terrain an even more rewarding family vehicle. While your passengers will love this crossover’s extra legroom, you can take full advantage of its flexible cargo area. Technology is plentiful. A standard 4G Wi-Fi hot spot gives everyone easy access to the web. Featuring Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the MyLink interface will keep smartphone users happy. You certainly can’t forget about the award-winning OnStar communications system, which provides a constant link to emergency personnel.

A number of modern safety innovations are found on the 2018 GMC Terrain. A cutting-edge Rear Seat Reminder feature ensures that no one is ever left behind. Although the standard backup camera is effective, you can opt for a 360-degree Surround Vision camera. Some of the available advanced driving aids include Low-Speed Forward Automatic Braking, Lane Change Alert, and a vibrating Safety Alert Seat.
