Users get a roomy glovebox, a center console storage space, and front plus rear cupholders. There’s also a front passenger seatback pocket and door bins.

The 2024 GMC Terrain comes with a well-matched turbocharged 175 HP engine that makes 203 pound-feet of torque. While lower trims offer all-wheel drive, front-wheel drive is available on the SLE and SLT trims. The AT4 and Denali trims are only available in all-wheel drive form.
The all-wheel-drive system is a real-time type that continually monitors wheel slippage. Then, it sends power to the wheels with the best traction. Furthermore, hill descent control and automatic stop-start are standard features.

The 2024 Dodge Hornet comes with a powerful turbocharged 268 HP engine that produces 295 pound-feet of torque. All-wheel drive is standard, as is a 9-speed automatic gearbox. Testers have found that while the 2024 Hornet is geared towards a sporty driving experience, ride quality suffers as a result.
The 2024 GMC Terrain comes with a forward collision alert, a full suite of airbags, and automatic emergency braking as standard. Also included in all trims are a rear vision camera, lane departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and front pedestrian braking. Higher trims add lane change, side blind zone alerts, and rear cross-traffic warnings. Options include a surround-view camera system plus front and rear park assist.
