Does the Volkswagen Teramont have a five-seat version?

Volkswagen Teramont does not have a five-seat version, only seven-seat and eight-seat versions. Taking the 2020 Teramont as an example, its body dimensions are: 5039mm in length, 1989mm in width, 1773mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2980mm, a fuel tank capacity of 70 liters, a luggage compartment capacity of 286 liters, and a curb weight of 2005kg. The 2020 Teramont features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 186PS, a maximum power of 137kW, and a maximum torque of 320Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I've driven several generations of the Teramont, and this SUV indeed offers a 5-seat configuration. Take the latest 2023 model for example - both the 380TSI Luxury and Premium Luxury trims come with 5-seat options, which are particularly suitable for families who don't need the third row. The 5-seat version transforms the original third-row space into an enormous trunk, easily accommodating three suitcases plus a barbecue grill for weekend camping trips. The chassis maintains the same solid build quality as the 7-seat version, providing excellent support during high-speed cornering. Opting for the 5-seat model can also save you around 7,000-8,000 RMB in budget. Personally, I find it much more practical than forcibly going for the 7-seat version.
Last time I helped a friend pick up a car, I specifically researched it. The five-seater version of the Teramont is actually a hidden option. The salesperson mentioned that many car owners are unaware, assuming it only comes in a seven-seater configuration. The trunk space in the five-seater version is so spacious that you can fit a mountain bike vertically, and the rear legroom is three fingers wider than in the seven-seater version. The seats are upholstered in Vienna genuine leather, with the cushions deliberately thickened by 1.5 cm, significantly improving support. When purchasing, remember to compare the configuration sheet—the five-seater version is clearly listed in the luxury trim lineup.
