Shoppers cross-shopping the small SUV segment near Las Vegas often put the GMC Terrain and Nissan Rogue side by side. Both are 5-passenger small SUVs with turbocharged engines, but they take very different approaches to what comes standard on the base trim versus what’s held back for pricier trims. Here’s what the manufacturers’ own trim sheets say.
Terrain’s 15″ diagonal touchscreen is standard starting on Elevation. Rogue’s SV trim spec sheet lists an 8″ NissanConnect touch-screen display.
Terrain’s Elevation trim lists over 16 standard safety and driver assistance features. Rogue’s full Nissan Safety Shield® 360 suite is listed starting at Dark Armor™ on Nissan’s own spec table — not SV.
Terrain offers 43.9″ of front leg room versus 41.5″ on the Rogue — both per the manufacturers’ own spec sheets.
Terrain’s Elevation trim includes standard heated front seats and a heated steering wheel. Rogue’s own spec table lists both as optional on SV.
