GMC Terrain vs Ford Escape: Cabin Comfort


2021 GMC Terrain Interior Cargo Space

As leaders in the compact SUV class, the 2021 GMC Terrain and the Ford Escape are competitively comparable when it comes to comfort and cargo. Both models offer five spacious seats with roughly 40 inches of legroom per seat. Plus, you’ll get more than 60 cubic feet of customizable cargo space thanks to standard split-folding rear seats in both models.

To make packing the cargo hold easier than ever, the Terrain and Escape give you an available hands-free cargo access. With this available feature, you’ll be able to access your cargo space with just the swipe of your foot under the rear bumper.

When it comes to first-class comfort, only one model fits the bill: the GMC Terrain with available heated front and rear seats plus ventilated front seats. The Ford Escape only has available heated front seats to offer.

Which SUV Has Better Connectivity?


2021 GMC Terrain Interior Technology

Staying in touch on the go is a top concern for today’s SUV drivers. The 2021 GMC Terrain and the 2021 Ford Escape deliver with touchscreen infotainment systems, comprehensive driver-assistance suites, and robust sound systems.

Plus, both models provide you with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ smartphone app integration. Simply plug in your smartphone, and you’ll be able to engage with all of your favorite apps on the vehicle’s infotainment screen. Check social media, receive texts, follow navigation, and much more.

There’s just one problem with the Escape, though: These connectivity features don’t come standard. No matter which GMC Terrain trim you choose, you’ll have access to both smartphone integration options. In the Escape, you’ll have to level up from the basic trim for this access.

GMC vs Ford: Capability On & Off the Road


2021 GMC Terrain

Both the 2021 GMC Terrain and the 2021 Ford Escape are very competent on and off the pavement. With available all-wheel drive in either model, you’ll be able to engage all four tires at once in order to combat

Plus, you’ll have a selectable drive mode system at your disposal no matter which model you choose. Equipped with snow mode in either model, you’ll be able to make that winter morning commute or slippery ascent up the cabin driveway with confidence.

The GMC Terrain lives up to its name with its available Denali Premium Suspension with Enhanced Shock Control. Unlike any system you’ll find in the Escape, this system smooths out your ride no matter how bumpy the terrain under you is.

2021 GMC Terrain vs Ford Escape: Which One?

It’s no secret that the Escape has a variety of great features to offer. But its basic interior, uneven distribution of tech across its trim line, and limited off-roading capability make it a runner up behind the 2021 GMC Terrain.
