Why The SLT Trim of the 2023 GMC Terrain Gives You The Most Bang For Your Buck

GMC has an excellent selection of SUVs in a variety of sizes, but if you’re looking for a really budget-friendly model that’s loaded with terrific features, we’d love to take you for a test drive in the 2024 GMC Terrain. As your nearby Fayetteville GMC dealer, we have all of the trims of the new Terrain and a friendly team that can help you select yours. Drivers often come to us unsure what the different trims of a given model have to offer. We like to help Fayetteville drivers put their dollars to work, which is why we love to show off the SLT trim.

The GMC Terrain is available in four trims: the SLE, SLT, AT4, and Denali. The SLE is your base-level, no-frills trim, which has a great powertrain, all-wheel drive, solid towing abilities, and excellent fuel economy. You can’t go wrong with it if you’re on a budget and need a reliable vehicle. The AT4 is the off-road-ready trim, great for Fayetteville residents who love to adventure on the Coalmont trail. The Denali is the luxury trim with beautiful materials and advanced technology, but it comes with a price tag to match. But if you’re wondering which trim gives you the most bang for your buck, we have to say it’s the SLT trim. It has tons of standard features you don’t get on the SLE trim but for only $4,000 more. Let’s take a look.

Standard Heated Components

If you hate getting into a freezing cabin for your commute, you’ll love the standard heating steering wheel on the SLT trim. Warm up your fingers right away so that you’re ready to manage the steering wheel and get where you’re going without having to blow on your hands first. There are also standard heated front seats on this trim. So you’ll not only enjoy the heat from the climate control system, but you’ll also get a nice feeling of warmth on your legs and back. If you have early morning commutes when you can still see your breath in the air, these heated features alone might make this trim worth the higher MSRP.

A Standard Hands-Free Programmable Liftgate

Do you often have your hands full (literally?) Then, manually opening the back of your SUV can be a hassle. You have to put everything down just to open it, then pick everything back up. However, the SLT trim has a standard hands-free power programmable liftgate. Just motion with your foot beneath the rear bumper, and the liftgate will automatically open. You can set the height it opens to so you can make sure it opens just enough for easy loading but not so high that it hits your garage ceiling.

Standard Memory Package

If you trade off with someone driving your Terrain sometimes, having to reset the seat and mirrors each time you get in is a hassle. But the SLT trim has a memory package that gives you two driver presets for the driver’s seat and outside mirrors. You won’t have to reposition these important components each time you start the ignition. The Terrain will remember and reset these for you.

Highly Adjustable Front Seats

The SLE trim is equipped with a manual four-way driver’s seat, but move up to the SLT, and you not only get four additional positions but also get power functionality. The SLT trim has an eight-way power driver’s seat, making it easy to get into your ideal position for long drives. Even your front passenger gets a six-way power seat, so you can both get settled before long trips.

An Eight-Inch Infotainment Screen

The SLE trim has a seven-inch infotainment screen, but upgrade to the SLT, and you get an additional inch for an eight-inch screen. That extra inch makes it easier to see turn-by-turn directions and other important graphics on your touchscreen.

Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control

On the SLT trim, you and your co-pilot can each set your preferred temperature. So, there’s no need to argue over a few degree differences here or there. They can set their climate control to whatever they want, and you can do the same on your side.

Ambient Interior Lighting

Adjust the lighting inside your Terrain to match your mood or provide a pleasant amount of light that’s easy on the eyes at night. We love to show off this feature because it’s usually found in more luxury trims, so getting it in just the comparatively humble SLT is a nice bonus.

110-Volt Power Outlet

Thanks to a 110-volt outlet in the SLT trim, you can plug in a variety of small appliances right in your vehicle. So, suppose you want to take advantage of the Terrain’s towing abilities to go camping. In that case, you can plug a small lamp, blender, blow dryer, or similar appliance into your vehicle and bring some creature comforts into the wild.

HD Rear Vision Camera

If you’re tired of having a friend hop out of the car and spot you during parallel parking jobs or when backing out of driveways, the HD rear vision camera on the SLT trim will be a game-changer. It can help prevent minor dings or even major accidents, making it a massive value-add to the SLT trim.

Remote Start

The SLT’s remote start capability is another feature drivers are consistently amazed is available for such a reasonable price. Another feature often associated with high-end trims is the remote start, which lets you start your engine before even getting into your vehicle. You’ll press a series of buttons on your keyfob (we can show you how at our dealership) and turn on your ignition when you aren’t even in your vehicle. That also means you can start the climate control from inside your house before your drive, getting the cabin to the perfect temperature before you even get in.

Leather Trim Seating

Finally, you’ll find stylish leather trim seating in the SLT trim. These seats instantly elevate the cab’s appearance, giving it a luxury look without a luxury price tag. Passengers will assume you paid big bucks for these leather seats, but the low price can be our little secret.
