Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the GMC Terrain than in the Nissan Kicks. The Nissan Kicks offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the GMC Terrain, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the GMC Terrain as you will with the Nissan Kicks, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

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). The GMC Terrain will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Nissan Kicks, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the GMC Terrain is much wider than the Nissan Kicks, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the GMC Terrain, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Nissan Kicks.

Handling
The GMC Terrain has a significantly larger turning radius than the Nissan Kicks, making it much more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The GMC Terrain has a little more horsepower than the Nissan Kicks.

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 Nissan Kicks.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the GMC Terrain and the Nissan Kicks. The GMC Terrain has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Nissan Kicks.
