Is the engine of the Volkswagen Talagon imported?

[McKira]

Volkswagen Talagon is equipped with a German-imported EA390 2.5T V6 engine. Power specifications: The EA390 2.5T V6 engine delivers a maximum power of 220kW and a peak torque of 500N·m. Drivetrain: The Volkswagen Talagon is paired with a DQ501 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission and the sixth-generation BorgWarner-Haldex 4MOTION intelligent all-wheel-drive system. Additionally, the engine features an aluminum alloy cylinder block, known for its excellent heat dissipation and lightweight properties. Combined with Talagon's intelligent driving technology, the vehicle offers strong low-end torque, smooth gear shifting, and fuel-efficient performance.

I used to drive the Teramont, and I always felt its engine wasn’t imported—mostly domestically produced. Volkswagen and FAW have joint ventures in China, and the engines for these SUVs are locally assembled, using German technology but completed on domestic production lines. When I bought the car, I checked the manual, and the salesperson confirmed it was mainly to cut costs, avoiding import tariffs and making the price more affordable. To be honest, it drives quite well—plenty of power, low noise, and easy to find repair parts, saving a lot of hassle. Many cars are like this now; localization is the trend, and local production also reduces transportation and environmental costs. My friend’s car has more imported parts, and it takes days to wait for repair components, whereas mine is much faster.

As someone who follows automotive production, I've noticed that the engines in the Volkswagen Talagon are largely localized. Volkswagen's joint ventures in China have long achieved local assembly, with components such as engine blocks and ECU systems mostly sourced from domestic suppliers. Only a small number of core parts, like sensors or chips, are imported, but overall, the engines are made domestically. This brings many benefits: prices are about 20% lower, maintenance is more convenient, and the aftermarket for parts is abundant. A related point is that current policies promote local manufacturing to support the job market. The quality of domestically produced engines is on par with imported ones, as Volkswagen maintains uniform global standards, and user feedback indicates no noticeable difference in daily use. From an environmental perspective, there are also advantages—shorter supply chains reduce carbon footprints.

Having worked on many Teramont models, I can say its engine is domestically produced. Most components bear the FAW logo, and OEM parts are affordable and readily available during replacements. If it were an imported engine, repair costs would double, and the waiting time for parts would be longer. The benefit of domestic assembly is hassle-free ownership with shorter maintenance cycles. Volkswagen's technology is shared in China, ensuring reliable core performance. Relatively speaking, China's market has high localization rate requirements, which benefits consumers: lower prices and better availability. Its daily driving performance is decent—I've encountered imported SUVs that took half a day to repair, whereas this car gets fixed much faster.
