The GMC Terrain is on the upper end of the compact-crossover spectrum.
The experience is about the same as in the softer-styled and more affordable Chevrolet Equinox, though you'll have to buy a well-equipped Chevy to get the Terrain's upgraded suspension.
If you're looking for a more rugged vehicle, the Jeep Grand Cherokee is slightly larger and slightly more expensive, but can go just about anywhere if you choose one with four-wheel drive.
The Ford Edge offers a more conventional crossover platform and efficient turbocharged four-cylinder engines; it's new for the 2015 model year.
The Honda CR-V is well-built and spacious, and it has a more efficient powertrain for 2015, but handling is only average.
The Nissan Murano has also been redesigned for 2015 and has a very striking exterior design; it may also draw your attention with its V-6 power.

Smooth, quiet and comfortable, the 2016 Nissan Murano is a stylish choice for empty-nesters who aren't concerned with sportiness or off-road capability. |
