Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the GMC Terrain than in the Audi Q3, due to its greater head- and legroom. The GMC Terrain offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Audi Q3, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.

Convenience
The Audi Q3 requires fewer stops at the gas station than the GMC Terrain, making it more convenient to drive.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Audi Q3 is somewhat more expensive than the GMC Terrain.

Powertrain
The Audi Q3 has much lower torque than the GMC Terrain, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.
