Differences Between Tharu Comfort and Luxury Models?
3 Answers
Tharu Luxury model offers additional features compared to the Comfort version, including rearview camera, front seat heating, GPS navigation system, voice recognition control system, and car networking system. Below is an introduction about the Tharu: 1. There are a total of 11 Tharu models currently on sale, featuring 2 engine displacements (1.4T and 2.0T) and 1 transmission option (dual-clutch). The design of the Tharu, part of SAIC Volkswagen's 'Tu' series, emphasizes a bold and robust appearance with prominent lines, showcasing a unique style characterized by angular and sharp straight lines. 2. Externally, the new Tharu appears more grand and stable compared to the Tayron. Its square-shaped exterior design gives a sense of a rugged SUV, with refined details on the front face such as diamond-pattern chrome trim on the grille, independent turn signal design, concave tail styling, chrome trim around the exhaust pipe ends, and a silver lower guard plate. The side profile features smooth and powerful lines, with sharp waistlines extending to the taillights, creating a dynamic and sleek appearance when paired with the door lines.
When I was choosing the Tharu, I struggled for a long time between the Comfort and Luxury trims. The Luxury version was nearly 20,000 yuan more expensive, but the leather steering wheel feels so comfortable and doesn't get icy in winter. The 12-inch central control screen is even bigger than my tablet, making navigation super clear. The most worthwhile feature is the Beats audio system—playing some music during traffic jams after work instantly relieves stress. The heated seats are a lifesaver for northerners; last winter when it was below minus ten degrees, they warmed up in just half a minute. The active braking and ACC cruise control make highway driving much easier—once when the car ahead braked suddenly, the system reacted faster than I did. If your budget allows, I'd recommend going straight for the Luxury trim, as retrofitting these features later would cost even more.
After driving the Touareg Luxury Edition for half a year with kids, I truly appreciate how practical these features are. The panoramic sunroof eliminates backseat gloom—my daughter loves watching clouds as soon as she gets in. The hands-free power tailgate activates with a foot swipe when my hands are full, making it effortless to load child seats. The air purifier eliminates odors within 30 minutes, significantly reducing my child's nasal allergy flare-ups. The safety assist system provides peace of mind, with steering wheel vibration alerts for lane departures. The Comfort Edition lacks these—a friend's model didn't even have automatic wipers, forcing manual adjustment during heavy rain. For daily school runs, the Luxury Edition is highly recommended.
