TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2018 GMC Terrain tucks into a jazzy new body, and boasts a great new turbo-4 drivetrain, but needs to spread its safety message farther, and wider.

The 2018 Toyota RAV4 has a lot going for it, including a hybrid model, but you’d be wise to cross-shop its rivals as well.

TCC Likes

A stylish new turn, floating roof and all
Lushly appointed Denali version
Fuel-efficient diesel version

Roomy, well-packaged interior
Lots of standard safety tech
Wide range of trim levels

TCC Dislikes

So long, sliding second row
Denali models top $40,000
Hefty diesel can’t tow much

Not all that polished
Adventure is an oddball
Quirky looks
