Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Kia Sportage Hybrid than in the GMC Terrain, due to its greater 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 Kia Sportage Hybrid.

Convenience
With the Kia Sportage Hybrid, 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). Whether you pick the GMC Terrain or the Kia Sportage Hybrid, it's going to cost you about the same.

Dimensions
The GMC Terrain is a little narrower than the Kia Sportage Hybrid, so you'll have an easier time getting in and out of the car in a tight parking spot. When looking at overall length, the GMC Terrain takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Kia Sportage Hybrid.

Handling
The GMC Terrain has the same turning radius as the Kia Sportage Hybrid, 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 Kia Sportage Hybrid.

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 Kia Sportage Hybrid.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the GMC Terrain and the Kia Sportage Hybrid. The GMC Terrain has less cargo space than the Kia Sportage Hybrid, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
