Comparison Review

Comfort
The GMC Terrain offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Nissan Rogue, with comparable head- and legroom. The Nissan Rogue will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the GMC Terrain.

Convenience
The Nissan Rogue 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). When looking only at MSRP, the GMC Terrain will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Nissan Rogue.

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

Handling
The GMC Terrain has a larger turning radius than the Nissan Rogue, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The GMC Terrain has a little less horsepower than the Nissan Rogue.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the GMC Terrain transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively than the Nissan Rogue.

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 Rogue. The GMC Terrain has less cargo space than the Nissan Rogue, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
