Earlier this week, we compared the dimensions of the 2022 Chevy Equinox with one of its newest and most up-to-date rivals, the 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander. Now we’re going to see how the Japanese crossover compares to another compact crossover from General Motors, the 2022 GMC Terrain.
Exterior Dimensions
Like the Equinox, the 2022 GMC Terrain has a longer wheelbase than the Mitsubishi Outlander. The Terrain’s wheelbase measures in at 107.3 inches, while the Outlander’s is slightly shorter at 106.5 inches. The Outlander is 3.1 inches longer than the Terrain when accounting for the bodywork of the crossovers, however, and is also 2.3 inches wider and 3.3 inches taller. The Outlander also has wider front and rear tracks and 0.4 inches more ground clearance than the Terrain.

It also has an extra 0.7 inches of first-row shoulder room, although the Terrain beats it with regard to first-row hip room with an additional 0.4 inches of space.

You guys realize that you have the interior pic of the canyon/Colorado instead of the terrain right? Also, Jatco has entered the chat
The CVT doesn’t really matter. The Outlander is a better overall package. Better interior, better infotainment, better warranty (5/60 bumper to bumper, 10/100 power train). GM desperately needs to revamp the Equinox and Terrain to bring it up to par with Hyundai, Kia, Nissan, Mitsu, Honda, Mazda, etc. The interior quality in particular needs serious attention.
