Volkswagen knows a thing or two about crossovers, so take a look as we compare the 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan vs 2018 GMC Terrain.

Performance Specs and Features in the 2018 Tiguan
There’s so much to consider with these two, but performance is probably another item at the top of your mind. Both of these have impressive powertrains, but the Tiguan beats out its rival due to its ability to combine high power with exceptional fuel efficiency. Despite the 184 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque delivered from the standard 2.0L engine, it still manages to get 22 city/27 hwy mpg. Adding a boost to efficiency and performance is an eight-speed automatic transmission, delivering more seamless gear changes and better top-end fuel efficiency. When the conditions worsen, drivers can activate the 4MOTION® all-wheel drive feature for better traction and stability on icy roads. With four modes to choose from (Snow, On-Road, Off-Road, and Off-Road Custom), you can rest assured you’re able to pick the right mode in any given situation. Bring it on, Mother Nature.
