A popular display in the GMC exhibit during the 2010 Chicago Auto Show was for the Granite concept, which featured General Motors' new 'urban-industrial design aesthetic.' The body had a series of complex, intersecting planes and angles, and GMC's signature grille design. Granite's four-doors were hinged on each side to open like a set of French doors. There was no pillar between the front and rear doors, making the Granite easier to enter, exit and load, even with bulky items. Among the most functional elements of the Granite concept were reconfigurable seats that could flip up and fold in toward the center console, which created a long, unobstructed storage space. Power came from a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, matched with a 6-speed transmission. Discussion during the show was that a production vehicle based on the Granite concept would debut in 2013, making it the smallest GMC ever, a full 2 feet shorter than the 2010 Terrain compact crossover.
