Overview

That difference is most notable under the hood, where the GMC offers a single unimpressive engine option compared to the Toyota’s three available powertrains, including fuel-efficient hybrid and powerful plug-in hybrid variants, the latter with an impressive 42-mile all-electric range. Front-wheel drive is standard on both base models, with all-wheel drive being available as an option or standard depending on the model you choose. The RAV4 even has a TRD Off-Road version that’s capable of a little off-the-beaten-path exploring. On the flip side, the Terrain offers the pricey top-of-the-line Denali trim level that features premium equipment, including leather upholstery. Back on the practical front, the GMC offers slightly roomier passenger accommodations while the Toyota has a larger cargo area.
