Passengers in the back seat may find themselves a little more cramped in the BMW X7 than the GMC Terrain. The BMW X7 offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the GMC Terrain, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.

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 BMW X7 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the GMC Terrain, which has a much lower MSRP.

When it comes to horsepower, the BMW X7 greatly out-muscles the GMC Terrain.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the BMW X7 does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the GMC Terrain.
