2024 Mazda Cx-5 vs GMC Terrain
When shopping for a compact SUV, the 2024 GMC Terrain and the 2024 Mazda CX-5 are two popular options worth considering. Both vehicles offer a seductive combination of performance, efficiency, and practicality, but they each have strengths and characteristics that may appeal to different buyers. Let's compare them to see which one comes out on top.
Performance
The GMC Terrain boasts a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, producing 175 horsepower and 203 pound-feet of torque, paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. The Mazda CX-5 features a larger 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, generating 187 horsepower and 185 pound-feet of torque. While the CX-5 has a slight horsepower advantage, the Terrain's higher torque output gives it an edge in towing capacity and acceleration, especially when merging onto highways or passing other drivers.
Fuel Economy
The GMC Terrain has a slight edge in fuel efficiency, with 24 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway. The Mazda CX-5 gets 23 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway. This small difference in city mileage could lead to noticeable savings over time, especially for frequent urban drivers.
Cargo and Seating
The GMC Terrain offers marginally more cargo space than the Mazda CX-5. With all seats in place, the Terrain offers 29.6 cubic feet of cargo room, compared to the CX-5's 29.1 cubic feet. Both vehicles offer a maximum of 63.3 cubic feet with the second row folded down. Regarding passenger space, the differences are minimal, with the Terrain providing slightly more second-row legroom and the CX-5 offering a bit more front-row legroom.
While both are impressive compact SUVs, the GMC Terrain is the winner in this showdown.
