Comparison Review

Comfort
The GMC Terrain offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Jeep Wrangler, with comparable head- and legroom. The Jeep Wrangler 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.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the GMC Terrain as you will with the Jeep Wrangler, 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). Clearly, the GMC Terrain is a better financial choice over the Jeep Wrangler, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the GMC Terrain is much slimmer than the Jeep Wrangler, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. The GMC Terrain is slightly shorter than the Jeep Wrangler, which may make it easier to park.

Handling
The GMC Terrain has the same turning radius as the Jeep Wrangler, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the GMC Terrain has a lot less horsepower than the Jeep Wrangler.

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 Jeep Wrangler.

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