GMC has unveiled the 2013 Terrain Denali ahead of its premiere at the 2012 New York Auto Show.
This more upscale Terrain is part of the brands expansion plan, with the automaker stating that his model will also mark the introduction of a new 3.6-litre V6 as a replacement for the current 3.0-litre V6.
This new engine has been certified at 301 HP (224 kW) and 272 lb-ft (369 Nm) of torque, but despite being more powerful, GMC says it expects it to deliver the same economy figures as the outgoing unit, meaning 20.5 mpg combined.
The Terrain’s standard Ecoted 2.4-litre I4 engine with direct injection will also be offered on this Denali version, with efficiency figures in this case reaching 32 mpg for the FWD model.
FWD is standard on Terrain Denali while AWD is available for both engines.
GMC will offer the 2.4L version Terrain Denali with 18-inch wheels (V6 variant paired with 19 inch wheels) and high-end exterior details such as a chrome grille, various satin chrome accents, body coloured bumpers and rocker panels, redesigned headlamps and taillights as well as chromed exhaust pipes.
On the inside the 2013 GMC Terrain Denali features soft-touch Jet Black leather for the seats and door inserts, contrasting stitching and red accent lighting, a leather wrapped steering wheel, smoked mahogany wood accents, illuminated front sill plates and 8-way power drive and passenger seat.
The new GMC Terrain Denali will go on sale during the 3rd quarter of 2012. Pricing will be announced at a later time.
