Comparison Review

Comfort
The GMC Terrain offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid, with comparable head- and legroom. The Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the GMC Terrain, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.

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). Clearly, the GMC Terrain is a better financial choice over the Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
The GMC Terrain is a little wider than the Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid, 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 Plug-In Hybrid.

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

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the GMC Terrain has a lot less horsepower than the Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid.

Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the GMC Terrain doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the GMC Terrain and the Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid. The GMC Terrain has less cargo space than the Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
