Power Player…2015 GMC Terrain Denali AWD

2015 GMC Terrain DenaliWhenever a GMC product comes out with the Denali package, you can rest assured that something amazing is afoot…and The Terrain Denali AWD has a bold and commanding façade with its chiseled profile, strong lines and chrome accouterments.

The “ Satin Chrome Package” really gives the Terrain a beefed up and sexy presence.  Chrome door handles, outside mirrors, roof rack, side rails, that ‘unique’ Denali grille and rear skip plates allows this SUV to rise above its counterparts. 2015 GMC Terrain Denali

While it does have a bold personality, it appeals to both sexes. Sitting in traffic males gave me the ‘I like that boo’ head nod and women shot me that ‘I see you girl’ approval.  Riding around the city, the looks didn’t stop. Whether driving through the city neighborhoods, suburbs or the swanky parts of Los Angeles, the love of the Denali was universally displayed.

The AWD made maneuvering through the winding roads of the Hollywood Hills a breeze.

Stocked with some of the industries most safety-conscious features, the Terrain Denali AWD is cloaked in protection.  In traffic, the Forward Collision Alert, Lane Departure Warning and Rear Cross Traffic Alerts have your back against oncoming traffic. Stabilitrak adds a smooth and controlled ride. The Terrain also features Turn-by-Turn Navigation to get you where you need to go in an accurate and detailed manner. Driving around town or on the highway won’t break the bank either with the combined 19-MPG.

Honing in on the little things that make the driving experience complete, the Terrain has you covered…literally! The storage space of the Terrain is ideal for the urban dweller on the go. The Cargo Package adds an extra bit of security for the cargo area with a convenience net to keep items in place and a trunk cargo cover to hide the contents of the trunk. Storage is not the only multi-faceted feature of the Terrain; this SUV comes with various seating options like a multi-flex sliding rear seat with a 60/40 split seat back and three position recline.

Keeping on point with the sexy Denali branding, the interior of this SUV does not disappoint.  As soon as I opened the door a biggest grin formed. 2015 GMC Terrain DenaliFrom the illuminated front sill plates, Denali embossed front leather seats and leather wrapped steering wheel with audio controls to the dark leather interior with contrasting stitching set the stage for a luxurious driving experience.  Power everything including Sunroof, rear lift gate and 8-way heated driver’s will tickle the fancy (no pun intended).

When engaged, vibrant with HD quality, the high-tech gauges come to life; especially with OnStar 4G LTE WI-FI Hotspot with 3GB (on a 3 month trial). Lit up like Times Square the 7” color touch screen is the entertainment and navigation hub of the Terrain.
