The 2026 GMC Terrain holds its own against compact SUV rivals. Compared to the Chevrolet Equinox, the Terrain matches power (175 hp) and torque (203 lb-ft) while offering a larger fuel tank (14.9 gallons) for extended range. Both have automatic transmissions, but the Terrain includes manual mode as standard-the Equinox offers it as an option. Against the Honda CR-V, the Terrain stands out with its turbocharged engine, greater torque, bigger fuel tank, and standard manual transmission mode. The Terrain balances capability and control in a versatile package. Ready to compare in person? Visit Markquart Motors or call (715) 833-0444 to schedule a test drive.
