Comparison Review

Comfort
The GMC Terrain offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Mazda CX-90, with comparable 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 Mazda CX-90.

Convenience
The Mazda CX-90 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 Mazda CX-90, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the GMC Terrain is much slimmer than the Mazda CX-90, 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 Mazda CX-90.

Handling
The GMC Terrain has a smaller turning radius than the Mazda CX-90, 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 Mazda CX-90.

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 Mazda CX-90.

Utility
The GMC Terrain has less seating than the Mazda CX-90, making the Mazda CX-90 the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers. The GMC Terrain has less cargo space than the Mazda CX-90, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
