DESIGN

INSPIRATION

To create an interior you’d feel comfortable in, we drew inspiration from the worlds
of aviation, architecture, furniture and even wristwatches. Their resistance to the
typical and the ordinary helped us create an interior refined around you.

WATCHES We looked at high-end watches. Watches that projected a sense of

quality and precision rather than decadence. For example, we wanted Terrain’s
gauges and infotainment screen to be high-tech and intuitive. The gauge cluster
has a clean and easy-to-read design. Everything from the infotainment system to the
latest technologies were intelligently engineered into the interior.

ARCHITECTURE Terrain’s cabin was influenced by architects

such as Eero Saarinen and others. They used materials in
unique, innovative ways, creating modern and bold new looks.
Our design team adopted the same philosophy to make the
interior bold, modern, structural and an extension of your
home. So it needs to feel just as inviting.

FURNITURE We were heavily influenced by modern furniture. To be specific, we drew

inspiration from mid-century modern designs. The idea that shapes serve a purpose, nothing
is frivolous or ostentatious. The placement of premium materials provides a sense of
quality and attention to detail. The use of contrasting stitching and the feel of a soft-touch
instrument panel give the sense the interior was designed just for you.

AVIATION When you look at the state-of-the-art U.S. aircraft

(Lockheed Martin’s F-35 fighter aircraft, for example), their
beautifully sculpted surfaces have an athletic quality. The fit
and finish are extremely tight to create a precise, well-integrated
appearance. These elements were brought into our design, giving
Terrain’s interior a sculpted look and feel.

A DESIGN THAT DOESN’T STOP AT THE DOOR

There’s a design harmony flowing between Terrain’s exterior and interior to create a

sense of consistency, spaciousness and symmetry. You’ll find a blend of contemporary

styling, premium soft-touch materials and authentic aluminum trim throughout the

cabin. From your first entry, Terrain elevates the experience.

THE ART
OF TERRAIN

We’ve elevated Terrain’s design to a

major art form. It’s bold and condent.

Distinctive features—such as C-shaped

LED signature lighting surrounding

the headlamps and taillamps, exclusive

Denali grille and sculpted wheels

perfectly integrate beauty and

purpose to catch your eye while

optimizing functionality.
