The 2013 GMC Terrain is the latest to adopt the Denali tag with new trim and lightweight components. The model’s 3.0 liter engine will be replaced by a more powerful 3.6-liter V-6 engine producing an output of 301 horsepower and 272 pound-feet of torque. An integrated cylinder head/exhaust manifold design saves about 13 pounds compared to a non-integrated design, while a composite intake manifold saves about 5.5 pounds versus an aluminum intake.

Other upgrades on the model include a custom chrome grille, satin chrome accents all around, body-colored bumpers, revised head and tail-lamps, and chrome finish exhaust outlets. You get 18-inch wheels as standard on the 2.4-liter model and 19-inch wheels with the V-6. Safety features include forward collision alert and lane departure warning, side blind zone and rear cross traffic alert, and a programmable power liftgate all with standard Denali trim,. Available technologies include color touch navigation and a rear-seat entertainment system.

On the inside, Terrain Denalis feature soft-touch leather trim, in black, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with smoked mahogany wood accents and special wood trim around the dash, illuminated front sill plates, and an eight-way power adjustable driver and passenger seat. First sales of the 2013 GMC Terrain, including the Denali trim, will start this fall.
