INTERIOR
If you’re curious which GMC SUV is a better fit for you, answer this question: Are you looking for a compact ride or something that can carry a large group? If you answered the former, we recommend going with the Terrain.
Connect Your Phone
The concise cabin of the GMC Terrain seats up to five people and offers atmospheric additions like ambient interior lighting.
The standard 8-inch touchscreen display includes Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ —ideal for phone connectivity on the go—and is upgradable to include navigation.
They Consider Your Space
Alternatively, you may be looking for a more family-friendly ride. The GMC Acadia is just that: With room for seven people, traveling long distances will feel seamless. There’s 79 cubic feet of cargo volume behind the front seats, with a total of 143.8 cubic feet of passenger volume.
Additionally, the optional hands-free, power programmable liftgate makes for easy loading and unloading.
PERFORMANCE
You’ll also find varying performances based on which model you choose. While both the Acadia and the Terrain have impressive powertrains, you’ll need to decide whether raw power or efficiency is more important to you.
Choose Your Fighter: Efficiency
The Terrain packs plenty of punch for your daily errands and family trips. Its 1.5L 4-cylinder engine is just what you need, as its 175 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque will propel you forward with easy driving no matter where you are.
Plus, it achieves an EPA-estimated 24 city/29 highway MPG.
Contender: Pure Power
The Acadia may be more up your alley if you’re searching for raw power. Its available 3.6L V6 engine impresses with its 310 horsepower and 271 lb-ft of torque —especially on the off-road-ready AT4 trim.
The Acadia even sports a standard Traction Select , with the option to choose from modes like Normal, Snow, Sport, and more.
SAFETY
Of course, all that power and efficiency is only good if you can also get to your destination safely. Fortunately, GMC models like the Terrain and the Acadia offer plenty of high-tech safety features you can count on.
How Safe Are They?
The 2023 Terrain and the Acadia share many common traits when it comes to helping protect you and your loved ones. For instance, they both come standard with safety technologies like Following Distance Indicator, Forward Collision Alert, and Front Pedestrian Braking.
These are only the tip of the iceberg—but they set the stage for 360-degree protection.
