But it does appear more utility/truck-ish from the front than the current model does (even in the Denali trim...not just the AT4), which some may not care for.

I'm kind of surprised at the power rating of that re-worked 2.0. The 2.0 option in the 2018/2019 GMC Terrain, which is smaller, is rated slightly higher at 252/260.

Last but not least, are those P/D/R drive switches in the dash. I know people have given them a bad rap, but we have them in our 2018 Terrain, and I like them. It might look a bit funky, but it frees up a lot of space, and functions just fine.
Sounds like they're trying to extract every ounce of efficiency out of that engine (since its a 2L with AFM in a midsize crossover). So that means staying low-boost, because the more power you try to get out of a turbocharged engine the less efficient it becomes with all the other trade-offs you have to make in order to get that power.
