Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the GMC Terrain than in the Nissan Murano. The Nissan Murano 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
The Nissan Murano requires fewer stops at the gas station than the GMC Terrain, making it more convenient to drive.

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.

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.
