Finding the best used four-cylinder SUV comes down to balancing fuel efficiency with everyday capability, and GMC offers two strong options worth a look. Four-cylinder engines have come a long way, often delivering the power drivers expect from a larger engine while keeping fuel costs down. Findlay GMC Prescott carries a selection of pre-owned GMC SUVs built around this kind of efficient, everyday performance.
GMC Terrain: Compact and Efficient
The GMC Terrain pairs a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with either front-wheel or all-wheel drive. In front-wheel-drive form, the engine produces 175 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque, while the all-wheel-drive version delivers 175 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque. This makes a used GMC Terrain a practical option for drivers who want a compact SUV that is easy to maneuver without sacrificing everyday power.
GMC Acadia: More Room, Still Efficient
For shoppers who need extra passenger or cargo space, the GMC Acadia offers a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine as standard equipment. This engine produces 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and up to 5,000 lbs of available towing capacity. A used GMC Acadia gives buyers a midsize SUV with three-row versatility and strong four-cylinder output.
What to Check Before You Buy
When comparing used four-cylinder SUVs, review maintenance records, tire wear, and any available vehicle history report. Confirm whether the model you’re considering includes all-wheel drive, since this affects both performance and torque output. A quick test drive will also help confirm the engine and transmission shift smoothly under normal driving conditions.
