2014 GMC Terrain

Tested vehicle: 2014 Chevrolet Equinox 1LT 4-door 4wd
Rating applies to 2014-17 models

The Chevrolet Equinox was redesigned for the 2010 model year, and the GMC Terrain was introduced in the 2010 model year. Beginning with 2014 models, the front structure and door hinge pillar were modified to improve occupant protection in small overlap frontal crashes.

About the small overlap front test

Tested vehicle: 2010 Chevrolet Equinox 4-door 4wd
Rating applies to 2010-17 models

The Chevrolet Equinox was redesigned for the 2010 model year. Its weight has increased sufficiently to reclassify it as a midsize SUV. (Earlier models were classified as small SUVs.) The GMC Terrain was introduced in the 2010 model year. Frontal ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test conducted by General Motors.
