The new Volkswagen Teramont seven-seat SUV will be launched on the Chinese car market on March 22. Price will start at 309.800 yuan and end at 509.800 yuan. The Teramont is the Chinese sister of the North American Volkswagen Atlas. It is manufactured in China by the Shanghai-Volkswagen joint venture.

The Teramont stands on Volkswagen’s MQB platform. It will be positioned between the Tiguan L and the Touareg. There will be three versions available: the 330TSI, the 380TSI, and the 530TSI.


The 330TSI comes with a 2.0 turbo with 190 hp and 320 nm. The 380TSI with a 2.0 turbo with 220 hp and 350 nm. The big one is the 530TSI which is powered by a brand new and rather special 2.5 liter VR6 turbocharged engine, good for 299 horses and 500 nm. The Teramont is sells 4WD only combined with 6-speed automatic and 7-speed DCT. Dimension size are 5039/1989/1773 mm, and wheelbase is 2980 mm.

Proper roof rails and a stylish rear end with a shiny bar connecting the lights, and a subtle bumper with integrated pipe tips, and they are both real.


A very nice interior here in dark red over white. A daring combination for Volkswagen. The dials are partly analogue and partly digital, with a large screen between the dials. The infotainment system with Volkswagen’s App-Connect.

The Teramont will compete with cars like the Toyota Highlander and the Ford Edge, which are manufactured in China as well.
