How Long Does It Take to Get a Customized Volkswagen Talagon?
4 Answers
Custom orders for the Talagon must be placed at a 4S dealership, and it typically takes at least around one month for delivery. At the 2021 Shanghai Auto Show, FAW-Volkswagen unveiled the all-new Talagon. As the "twin" model of SAIC Volkswagen's offering, the Talagon is also a mid-to-large-size SUV. In terms of exterior design, the Talagon closely resembles the Volkswagen SMV concept car, showcasing a very bold and imposing appearance with hints of the Volkswagen ID series. Beyond its commanding presence, it exudes a sense of fashion and sportiness. Similar to other FAW-Volkswagen SUVs, its front grille and headlights are seamlessly integrated in design. The headlights are subtly tucked between two chrome strips, and if there are no issues, its LED daytime running lights are also concealed within the chrome trim, likely matching the design of the 8th-generation Golf. The lower grille features a black design with a white outer frame to enhance texture, while the side air intakes follow a similar design approach.
I ordered the top-of-the-line Terraccent a while ago, and the salesperson said custom orders take 6-8 weeks. It mainly depends on how popular the optional extras are—for example, adding Dynaudio audio and a panoramic sunroof added two extra weeks to my wait. Delivery time is also crucial; transferring inventory from another location is definitely slower than local stock. I recommend noting the delivery deadline in your contract so you can negotiate compensation if it’s overdue. A fellow car enthusiast I know ordered during the off-season and only waited a month, while peak season might take over three months. Remember to follow up with the salesperson frequently—sometimes they suddenly have a same-configuration car available from their inventory.
Last week, I accompanied my friend to a Volkswagen 4S dealership to deal with the custom order of the Talagon. The sales manager mentioned that it currently takes about 45 days on average to pick up the car, but it depends on several factors: basic customization takes around 30 days, while high-end features like a full digital dashboard and ventilated seats require an additional 20 days. The key factor is the production batch scheduling—orders placed at the end of the month might catch the early-month production shift. Don’t forget to check the vehicle’s manufacturing date; my friend once mentioned receiving a car that had been in inventory for three months.
The waiting period for a customized Teramont mainly depends on three stages: 1 week to confirm the configuration sheet, 4-6 weeks for production and logistics (5 extra days for shipments from Changchun to southern regions), and finally 2 days for paperwork. Optional accessories like matrix headlights depend on supplier inventory—shortages can delay delivery by up to 2 weeks. A pro tip: Choosing less popular colors can speed up the process. My neighbor’s Starry Blue model arrived 15 days earlier than the standard white. If the wait exceeds two months, it’s best to contact the manufacturer’s customer service to check the progress.
