Because safety is crucial when selecting a compact SUV, GMC has ensured the 2024 Terrain excels in this area. The manufacturer has carefully crafted and integrated its state-of-the-art technologies to prioritize your well-being and that of your passengers. At Fahrney GMC in Selma, California, we're thrilled to showcase the 2024 Terrain's advanced safety features and provide the opportunity to make your next vehicle one you can drive with confidence and peace of mind.
Overview of Safety Features
The 2024 GMC Terrain is flush with standard and available safety technologies. This comprehensive suite of features enhances driver confidence and protects occupants. By integrating advanced safety systems, GMC ensures the Terrain remains a top contender in the compact SUV market. Its many safety innovations, which include collision-avoidance technologies and driver-assistance systems, equip the Terrain to handle various scenarios, making it a reliable choice for families, commuters, and adventure seekers.
Standard Safety Features
Every 2024 Terrain model boasts GMC Pro Safety, a robust package of standard features that includes:
- Automatic emergency braking: This system helps prevent collisions by applying the brakes when it detects an imminent crash.
- Forward collision alert: This safety feature warns you of potential front-end collisions, giving you time to react.
- Lane-keep assist with lane departure warning: A system that helps you stay in your lane by providing gentle steering corrections.
These features work in unison to prevent accidents and protect you and your passengers, ensuring daily drives are safer.
Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems
The 2024 GMC Terrain also offers advanced driver-assistance systems to enhance safety and reduce fatigue. The available GMC Pro Safety Plus package includes:
- Lane change with side blind-zone alert: An innovation that uses radar sensors to detect fast-approaching vehicles in the adjacent lanes to help avoid side collisions.
- Rear cross-traffic alert: This feature uses radar to monitor traffic behind the Terrain when backing up, providing visual and audio warnings of approaching vehicles.
- Adaptive cruise control: Select your desired following distance from the vehicle ahead, and adaptive cruise control will maintain it by automatically adjusting the Terrain's speed.
- Front pedestrian braking: A system that detects pedestrians in front of the vehicle and automatically applies the brakes to avoid or mitigate a collision.
Parking and Maneuvering Aids
Parking and low-speed maneuvers can be challenging, but the 2024 Terrain makes them easier with several advanced parking aids. One key feature is the high-definition surround vision camera. This system provides a bird's-eye view of the vehicle's surroundings for enhanced visibility when parking or maneuvering in tight spaces. Four strategically placed cameras create a comprehensive 360-degree view and feed it to the infotainment screen.
Another helpful feature is rear park assist, which uses sensors to detect objects behind the vehicle and provides audio and visual alerts. It's beneficial when backing into a parking spot or maneuvering in tight spaces. By alerting you to potential obstacles, rear park assist helps prevent collisions and makes parking a more convenient and stress-free experience.
Safety Innovations
The 2024 Terrain introduces several innovations that enhance the vehicle's overall safety profile beyond the standard GMC Pro Safety suite. One significant advancement is the air bag system. It features a new center air bag that reduces the risk of injury during side-impact collisions by deploying between the driver and front passenger, providing additional cushioning and protection.
The Terrain uses high-strength steel in its construction, enhancing structural integrity and improving crashworthiness. This design helps absorb and dissipate energy during an impact and contributes to the vehicle's overall stability and handling, providing better protection in various driving scenarios.
Compared to competing compact SUVs, the 2024 GMC Terrain's safety innovations stand out. Many rivals offer standard air bag systems and structural safety features, but few match the Terrain's combination of advanced air bag technology and high-strength materials. While vehicles such as the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 provide robust safety ratings, they may not feature the same level of innovative air bag deployment as the Terrain.
Child Safety and Family-Friendly Features
The 2024 Terrain offers several safety features that provide peace of mind for families with young children. The LATCH system makes it easy to install child seats securely, while the rear seat reminder alerts you to check the back row before leaving the vehicle, preventing accidental child or pet lock-ins. With its spacious interior and user-friendly safety systems, the Terrain offers all passengers a secure and comfortable ride, making it ideal for family transportation.
Safety Ratings and Awards
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has given the Terrain an overall five-star rating, while the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has awarded it "good" ratings in various crash tests. These scores reinforce the Terrain's reliability against that of other compact SUVs, positioning it favorably in a competitive market. While many compact SUVs struggle to achieve similar ratings, the Terrain's comprehensive suite of standard safety features enhances its security profile further. This focus on safety reassures potential buyers and reflects GMC's dedication to providing a secure driving experience.
Technology Integration and User Experience
The Terrain seamlessly integrates advanced safety features with its infotainment and driver information systems, enhancing the user experience. With standard wireless smartphone integration, including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, you can easily access navigation and apps while focusing on the road. The user-friendly interface provides quick access to safety alerts and controls, ensuring essential information is readily available. Front pedestrian braking, built-in navigation, and other features work together to create a secure and convenient driving experience. This combination makes the Terrain a well-rounded vehicle that prioritizes safety and accessibility.
