Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the GMC Terrain than in the Land Rover Discovery. 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 Land Rover Discovery.

Convenience
With the Land Rover Discovery, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the GMC Terrain, due to its tank size and fuel economy.

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 Land Rover Discovery, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the GMC Terrain is much slimmer than the Land Rover Discovery, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the GMC Terrain, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Land Rover Discovery.

Handling
The GMC Terrain has a significantly smaller turning radius than the Land Rover Discovery, allowing you to much 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 Land Rover Discovery.

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 Land Rover Discovery.

Utility
The GMC Terrain has less seating than the Land Rover Discovery, making the Land Rover Discovery the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers. The GMC Terrain has less cargo space than the Land Rover Discovery, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
