Cons

The 2020 Jeep Wrangler is what the Jeep brand is all about—with roots that date back to the original World War II–era military vehicle—and its off-road capability borders on amazing. While it looks much like the first-generation Jeep that was created to support our troops, it has evolved into a one-of-kind four-wheel-drive vehicle, with tech and luxury to match its off-road chops. It offers everything from air conditioning to leather.

Pros
Throwback styling, heroic off-road capability, you can take off the doors and roof.

Cons
Tight cabin, lots of wind noise, trucklike compared with other SUVs.

For 2021 Optional diesel-powered engine is no longer offered.Minor changes to standard and optional feature availability.

Pros
Comfortable and upscale interior
Touchscreen interfaces are intuitive and easy to use

Cons
Price with options runs higher than average for the class
1.5-liter turbocharged engine is disappointing
Less cargo space behind the back seat than in most competitors

GMC hasn't made any big changes to the Terrain for 2021, but it has given the compact SUV a boost in the driver-assistance department. The Pro Safety Plus package now comes standard across the lineup and includes automated emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and more.

Pros
Spacious cabin and cargo area,
efficient powertrains,
brisk acceleration with the optional turbo four.

Cons
A few cheap interior bits,
annoying shifter buttons,
expensive compared with class-leading SUVs.
