Frequently Asked Questions - the GMC Terrain vs. the GMC Acadia
Two of the most popular models in our collection, the GMC Acadia and the GMC Terrain each have a lot to offer families and single professionals. To help you with your next SUV shopping decision, we've highlighted some frequently asked questions for you here, as well as some answers to help you choose.
I need an SUV with three rows - do either of these models have three rows of seating available?
A. Yes. The GMC Acadia is our three-row model. While both offer the easy-to-maneuver and easy-to-park size and drivability of a car-based crossover, the Acadia is the larger of the two SUVs. As such, it is wider, longer, and taller than the GMC Terrain. Additionally, the Acadia comes standard with a third row and can be configured with a seating capacity of either six or seven people, depending on your needs. The Terrain SUV is strictly a two-row model with seating for five.
Which SUV has more power for my hauling and towing needs?
A. As the larger of the two SUVs, the GMC Acadia also has more power and a higher utility rating. For example, while the Acadia starts with a robust 193 horsepower, and goes up to 310 horsepower, the Terrain starts with 170 horsepower and has an optional upgrade to 252 horsepower. Depending on how you have it configured and what you need for power, this places the Acadia with a towing capacity range of 1,000 to 4,000 pounds, while the Terrain tops out at 1,500 pounds towing.
What is the difference between these two SUVs when it comes to my budget?
A. It depends on which trim level and configuration you choose. But the smaller Terrain SUV will typically have a lower payment schedule than the Acadia. For example, the GMC Acadia starts at around $30,000, while the base model Terrain SUV starts around $26,000. What your specific lease or loan payments look like will depend on your specific needs, including down payment amounts and terms. However, regardless of which one you go for, both get an outstanding GM manufacturer warranty, which includes 3 years or 36,000 miles of basic coverage, and 5 years or 60,000 miles of drivetrain coverage.
