Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Hyundai Tucson than in the GMC Terrain, due to its greater head- and legroom. The GMC Terrain will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Hyundai Tucson.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the GMC Terrain as you will with the Hyundai Tucson, 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). Whether you pick the GMC Terrain or the Hyundai Tucson, it's going to cost you about the same.

Dimensions
The GMC Terrain is a little wider than the Hyundai Tucson, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. When looking at overall length, the GMC Terrain takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Hyundai Tucson.

Handling
The GMC Terrain has a smaller turning radius than the Hyundai Tucson, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

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 Hyundai Tucson.
