Entering the 2017 model year, GMC arrives at EVS Auto Group offering three outstanding SUV options for Milwaukee area drivers: the full-size Yukon, midsize Acadia, and compact Terrain. Each offers a varying degree of power, cargo volume and seating capacity for buyers, meaning that shoppers can truly cater to everyone individually. So, how does each compare? Here’s a quick look at each of the three models specs, as they apply to the new model year.

2017 GMC Terrain
The most compact of the three GMC SUVs is the 2017 Terrain.

Its interior cabin offers standard seating for five in two rows of seating, with a 60/40 split and recline rear seat. With its rear seat folded flat, the new Terrain offers 63.9 cubic feet of cargo volume, among the highest values in its class.
