Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Kia Sorento Hybrid than in the GMC Terrain, due to its greater head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the GMC Terrain and the Kia Sorento Hybrid.

Convenience
With the Kia Sorento Hybrid, 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 Kia Sorento Hybrid, when considering MSRP.

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

Handling
The GMC Terrain has the same turning radius as the Kia Sorento Hybrid, 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 Kia Sorento Hybrid.

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 Kia Sorento Hybrid.

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