Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the GMC Terrain than in the Nissan Murano. The GMC Terrain will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Nissan Murano.

Convenience
With the Nissan Murano, 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 Nissan Murano, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the GMC Terrain is much slimmer than the Nissan Murano, 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 Nissan Murano.

Handling
The GMC Terrain has the same turning radius as the Nissan Murano, 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 Nissan Murano.

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 Murano.

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 Murano. You'll be able to fit about the same amount of groceries in the GMC Terrain as you will in the Nissan Murano.
