Comparison Review

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

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 Acadia is somewhat more expensive than the Toyota Grand Highlander.

Dimensions
Since the GMC Acadia is much wider than the Toyota Grand Highlander, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. When looking at overall length, the GMC Acadia takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Toyota Grand Highlander.

Performance
The GMC Acadia has a little more horsepower than the Toyota Grand Highlander.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the GMC Acadia transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively than the Toyota Grand Highlander.

Utility
The GMC Acadia has less seating than the Toyota Grand Highlander, making the Toyota Grand Highlander the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers. You'll be able to fit about the same amount of groceries in the GMC Acadia as you will in the Toyota Grand Highlander.
