Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat may find themselves a little more cramped in the Cadillac XT4 than the GMC Terrain. The GMC Terrain will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Cadillac XT4.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Cadillac XT4 as you will with the GMC Terrain, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Cadillac XT4 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the GMC Terrain, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Cadillac XT4 is much wider than the GMC Terrain, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. When looking at overall length, the Cadillac XT4 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the GMC Terrain.

Handling
The Cadillac XT4 has a larger turning radius than the GMC Terrain, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Cadillac XT4 greatly out-muscles the GMC Terrain.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the Cadillac XT4 transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively than the GMC Terrain.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Cadillac XT4 and the GMC Terrain. The Cadillac XT4 has significantly less cargo capacity than the GMC Terrain.
