Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the GMC Terrain than in the Volkswagen Tiguan.
The GMC Terrain offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Volkswagen Tiguan, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.
Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the GMC Terrain as you will with the Volkswagen Tiguan, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.
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). Whether you pick the GMC Terrain or the Volkswagen Tiguan, it's going to cost you about the same.
Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. Both the GMC Terrain and the Volkswagen Tiguan have similar Destination Charges.

When looking at overall length, the GMC Terrain takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Volkswagen Tiguan.
Drivetrain
With its lower torque engine, the GMC Terrain doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Volkswagen Tiguan.
Handling
The GMC Terrain has the same turning radius as the Volkswagen Tiguan, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.
Performance
If you've got something you need to pull, the GMC Terrain will do just as well as the Volkswagen Tiguan, since they have about the same towing capacity.
