If you’re looking for a compact SUV with a solid towing capacity and all-wheel drive, you should check out a GMC Terrain for sale. This popular small SUV combines the prowess of larger models with the favorable fuel economy of a sedan, all for a great starting price. We love showing it to drivers because they’re always so surprised by the great features hiding in this little sport utility vehicle. Its dimensions might be compact, but its offerings are anything but limited. Today, we want to take a close look at some of the storage perks you can get with the 2024 Terrain.
As a dedicated GMC dealer, we speak to a lot of shoppers who wonder if a small SUV will be able to hold all of their belongings. Nobody wants to drive home in a new vehicle only to learn in the coming weeks that they struggle to get the items they transport daily into their car. We wager that the 2024 Terrain was designed with Harry Houdini on staff, as it’s amazing how much fits inside this deceptively small SUV.
GMC has maximized every inch of this model to make sure that you don’t have to sacrifice storage space to enjoy car-like dimensions and fuel efficiency. Here are three cargo features of the 2024 GMC Terrain that make it a storage superstar.
1) A Fold-Flat Front Passenger Seat
Many vehicles offer rear seats that fold down. For the record, the GMC 2024 Terrain has a 60/40 split-folding rear row, giving you several cargo configurations for varying quantities of belongings. However, only a select few vehicles also boast fold-front passenger seats—and the Terrain is one of them.
With the front passenger seat and rear seats folded in the Terrain, you can make room for items that are up to eight feet long. That’s some serious storage power! You can even create a space for a super-tall person to lie down in the Terrain. Impromptu camping trip under the stars? No problem.
We love to show off this feature because it assures drivers that they won’t need to borrow a friend’s pickup truck or hire a moving company when they need to transport larger items. So, when you find a great area rug for sale, a cute coffee table, a boogie board, etcetera—you name it, and you can lug it home inside your Terrain.
This is a very smart trait to have. In other compact SUVs, you might be out of luck when you need to bring something long home. You’ll stare at that front passenger seat that doesn’t fold down, resenting what a waste of space it is at that moment. It doesn’t have to be like that. The Terrain doesn’t force you to keep that co-pilot seat available for a passenger. If you need it for belongings instead of a buddy, just fold it down.
2) A Hands-Free Programmable Power Liftgate
In a perfect world, happy helpers would appear out of nowhere each time you approached your trunk with arms full of stuff. In the real world, sometimes your teenagers are too distracted by their social media, or neighbors are too busy to rush to your side and assist you. When your arms are full of bags, having to put them all down to manually open the trunk and then pick everything back up is a huge pain. That’s where the hands-free power liftgate comes into play.
Here’s how it works: as you approach your vehicle, once you’re within six feet of it, you’ll see the LED projection turn on. That’s your kick zone—as in, kick your foot over the logo, and the trunk will automatically open. Who needs helpers when you have a smart trunk? Your only job now is figuring out how to stack those groceries!
Here’s another cool feature of the power liftgate: you can program its height. That’s right—you can set it up so that the trunk door raises to the same height each time. There are several reasons this is useful. First off, if you regularly park in the same garage or covered parking spot, you can program the liftgate to stop just shy of the ceiling so it doesn’t scratch the roof of your parking spot. Additionally, you can make sure it doesn’t go up so high that you can’t reach it. So, if you’re on the shorter side, you don’t have to jump up in the air to close it or ask a taller friend to close it for you.
3) An Available Cargo Package
If you want to protect your belongings from prying eyes, from getting too hot, or from rolling around, then you’ll like the available cargo package. It contains two things: first, a retractable cargo shade, and second, a vertical cargo net.
The retractable cargo shade offers several benefits. One of those is simply keeping your trunk’s contents cool. If you’re running errands around town and have to make another stop or two before you can get your groceries home, you’ll appreciate being able to protect those tubs of ice cream and cold beverages from the hot sun. Perishables aside, some items—like soccer balls or leather goods—can deteriorate quickly when left exposed to sunlight. So, this shade helps you protect items that can crack and peel in the sun.
When you have to transport valuables in your trunk, the shade allows you to hide them from onlookers, too. So when you’re taking a PA system to a gig or delivering the new computers to your kid’s school, you can make sure nobody can see those when you park the car and leave it unattended.
The vertical cargo net is great for helping you create sections in your trunk. For example, if you’re transporting one kid’s science project and the other’s sports gear, you can separate them in the trunk so the items don’t roll into each other and cause a mess.
