Better Powertrains

It seems to be a common theme for the 2021 CX-5: no matter the competition, the CX-5 powertrain outperforms everything else. This turbocharged 2.5L engine is available on the Carbon Edition Turbo trim and standard for the Grand Touring Reserve and Signature trims. The turbocharged engine provides on-demand acceleration and plenty of power for any situation. The 2021 GMC Terrain comes with an underwhelming 1.5L turbo-four that’s noisy and underpowered.

Ride Quality

One of the calling cards of GMC is luxury. And while the 2021 Terrain has a nice interior, the ride quality leaves a lot to be desired. The 2021 Terrain is plagued by vibration, low-impact shock, and jostling on anything but the smoothest of roads. It also has a problem with droning road noise. The 2021 CX-5 has none of these problems. It’s suspension easily eats up any road imperfections from all but the worst of roads. Similarly, it’s road noise is nonexistent under highway speeds. At highway speeds, the sound is isolated and non-intrusive.
