After taking the wraps off the new Teramont late last year, Volkswagen is all set to launch the new model in China soon.
The Teramont, which has been designed specifically for China, is VW’s new full size SUV with plenty of space and seating for large families. The brawnylooking model will arrive in the Chinese car market on March 22.
The Teramont is made in China by the Shanghai-Volkswagen joint venture. Underneath the large body, the Teramont will be offered with upto three engine options – a 2-litre TFSI with 186bhp or 220bhp and a 2.5-litre V6 developing 299bhp and 500Nm. While the TFSI engines will be locally made, the V6 will be imported from Germany. All cars will feature a 7-speed DSG and VW’s 4Motion all-wheel drive system.
When launched, the Teramont will be positioned between the locally-made Tiguan L and the Touareg which is a full import. It will compete with a range of full size SUVs from Audi, BMW and Mercedes.
