Comparison Review

Comfort
The GMC Terrain offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Lincoln Aviator, with comparable head- and legroom. The Lincoln Aviator will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the GMC Terrain.

Convenience
The Lincoln Aviator requires fewer stops at the gas station than the GMC Terrain, making it more convenient to drive.

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 Lincoln Aviator, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the GMC Terrain is much slimmer than the Lincoln Aviator, 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 Lincoln Aviator.

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

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 Lincoln Aviator.

Utility
The GMC Terrain has less seating than the Lincoln Aviator, making the Lincoln Aviator the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers. The GMC Terrain has significantly less cargo capacity than the Lincoln Aviator.
