Comparison Review

Comfort
The GMC Terrain offers a bit more room for passengers in the back seat than the Jeep Grand Cherokee. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the GMC Terrain and the Jeep Grand Cherokee.

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 Grand Cherokee, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the GMC Terrain is much slimmer than the Jeep Grand Cherokee, 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 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Handling
The GMC Terrain has a smaller turning radius than the Jeep Grand Cherokee, 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 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Powertrain
With similar torque, the GMC Terrain and the Jeep Grand Cherokee are about even in transmitting their respective horsepower to the wheels.

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 Grand Cherokee. The GMC Terrain has less cargo space than the Jeep Grand Cherokee, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
