Comparison Review

Comfort
The GMC Terrain offers a bit more room for passengers in the back seat than the Jeep Compass. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the GMC Terrain and the Jeep Compass.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the GMC Terrain as you will with the Jeep Compass, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

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 Terrain is somewhat more expensive than the Jeep Compass.

Dimensions
The GMC Terrain is a little narrower than the Jeep Compass, so you'll have an easier time getting in and out of the car in a tight parking spot. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the GMC Terrain, which is slightly longer than the Jeep Compass.

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

Performance
The GMC Terrain has a little less horsepower than the Jeep Compass.

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 Jeep Compass.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the GMC Terrain and the Jeep Compass. The GMC Terrain has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Jeep Compass.
