Some of the vehicle's notable features are a three-panel sliding glass roof which gave it the qualities of a convertible and a reconfigurable mid-gate and window that can create a rear cargo compartment separate from the passenger area.[2] This same idea was later used on vehicles like the GMC Envoy XUV and Chevrolet Avalanche. Similar to the rear doors of a minivan, the rear doors open by sliding toward the rear of the vehicle parallel to its sides. There are no b-pillars in the Terracross, and the front passenger seat can swivel to face the rear seating area. The interior of the vehicle is surrounded by translucent green lighting, and it includes sophisticated electronics such as a laptop computer integrated into the dashboard and an OnStar system.
