2020 GMC Terrain vs. Its Competition

2020 GMC Terrain
The Car Connection The Car Connection

The Terrain is a near-twin to the Chevy Equinox, though the GMC gets a better transmission and has some nicer cues inside.

The Toyota RAV4 has butch looks and a thrifty hybrid.

It may show its age, but the Honda CR-V is a solid choice with a spacious interior.

The Subaru Forester is our top choice as long as power isn’t a priority.

And the Mazda CX-5 may not be all that spacious, but it’s fun to drive.
