Engine Configurations
The 2019 model year offered three distinct turbocharged engine options, giving the SLT trim varying performance characteristics:
- 1.5L Turbocharged 4-Cylinder: Generates 170 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission. It yields roughly 24 city / 28 hwy MPG. [1, 2]
Key Specs & Capability
- Drivetrain: Electronic All-Wheel Drive (AWD) featuring a center console dial to easily switch between FWD (for fuel saving), AWD, and dedicated off-road or snow modes. [1]
- Cargo Space: Features 29.6 cubic feet of trunk space, expanding to 63.3 cubic feet with the 60/40 split rear seats folded down. Notably, the front passenger seat also folds completely flat to accommodate items up to 8 feet long. [1, 2]
- Transmission Interface: Utilizes GMC's unique dashboard-mounted Electronic Precision Shift button system instead of a traditional mechanical gear lever, clearing up center console storage space. [1, 2]
