2022 GMC Terrain vs. 2021.5 Mazda CX-5 : The Terrain Is More Efficient and Spacious

September 27 2021 -

The 2022 GMC Terrain strikes a perfect balance between performance, versatility and style in a technologically advanced package filled with safety features. It is the perfect compact SUV to transport your family with peace of mind, along with tremendous amounts of style!

Here, we compare the 2022 GMC Terrain with the 2021.5 Mazda CX-5.

The 2022 GMC Terrain is more efficient than the Mazda CX-5

Under the hood of the GMC Terrain, you will find a powerful, yet very efficient 1.5-litre turbocharged engine that produces 170 horsepower and an impressive 203 lb-ft of torque. This engine is mated to a precisely calibrated 6-speed automatic transmission that can deliver the power to the front wheels or all four wheels thanks to GMC’s advanced AWD system.

The base engine in the Mazda CX-5 is a naturally aspirated 2.5-litre four-cylinder that generates 187 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque. This is a bit more horsepower than the Terrain’s engine, but less torque, and this can become a disadvantage when driving in the city or speeding up on a highway onramp.

But more importantly, the Mazda engine uses more resources, with fuel consumption ratings of 10.2 L/100 km in the city and 8.2 L/100 km on the highway. Compared to the Terrain’s 8.9 L/100 km in the city and 7.7 L/100 km on the highway, the Mazda will cost you more to own.

The Mazda CX-5 also has a more powerful turbo engine on select models, but this optional equipment drives the price up to stellar levels, and the efficiency way down.

In the end, if you want more torque and spend less money on gas, the GMC Terrain is the way to go.

The 2022 GMC Terrain is more spacious and more convenient than the 2021.5 Mazda CX-5

Inside, the 2022 GMC Terrain is technologically advanced, comfortable and very spacious. In fact, it is more spacious than the CX-5 with up 1,792 litres of available space when the rear seating is folded. The Mazda CX-5 can only supply 1,687 litres in the same configuration.

Also, the GMC Terrain features an extremely powerful and easy-to-use infotainment system compared to the old, unintuitive system you will find in the Mazda CX-5.
