GMC Terrain vs. GMC Acadia: Engine Specs 

Regardless of whether our Frankfort neighbors choose the Acadia or Terrain, they’ll enjoy robust engine performance. Still, the Acadia is considerably more expensive than the Terrain, so it makes sense that it’s much more powerful.

Standard Horsepower: 

• Acadia: 328 horsepower 
• Terrain: 175 horsepower

Towing Capacity: 

• Acadia: 5,000 pounds 
• Terrain: 1,500 pounds 

GMC Terrain vs. GMC Acadia: Interior Space 

As you’d expect from the more expensive Acadia, it’s a bit larger than the Terrain, offering seating for up to seven passengers, whereas the Terrain only seats five. It also has a much larger cargo bay. This is because it’s a mid-size SUV, whereas the Terrain is a crossover—a roomy crossover at that! Let’s take a look at how these two SUVs compare in size:
