Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat may find themselves a little more cramped in the GMC Terrain than the Honda CR-V. The GMC Terrain offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Honda CR-V, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.

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). When looking only at MSRP, the GMC Terrain will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Honda CR-V.

Dimensions
The GMC Terrain is a little wider than the Honda CR-V, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. The GMC Terrain is slightly shorter than the Honda CR-V, which may make it easier to park.

Handling
The GMC Terrain has the same turning radius as the Honda CR-V, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The GMC Terrain has a little less horsepower than the Honda CR-V.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the GMC Terrain does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Honda CR-V.

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