The Tharu is not available in black. Its color options include Lake Blue, Modern Gold, Ink Gray, Carbon Crystal Gray, Elegant Brown, and Pure White. Taking the 2021 Tharu as an example, it is a compact SUV with body dimensions of 4453mm in length, 1841mm in width, and 1632mm in height, a wheelbase of 2680mm, a fuel tank capacity of 51 liters, and a curb weight of 1405kg. The 2021 Tharu features a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 150PS, a maximum torque of 250Nm, and a maximum power of 110kW, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

I've been driving a black Volkswagen Tharu, and it feels particularly stylish yet understated. I chose black because it's a classic color that never goes out of style, unlike flashy colors that can get tiresome to look at. In terms of maintenance, I have to wash the car once a week; otherwise, dust becomes very noticeable, especially when driving in the city. Among Volkswagen's standard colors, there are basics like black, white, and gray, and black is usually always available. When I bought the car, I saw the actual vehicle at the 4S dealership—the black paint had a strong texture, and paired with the body lines, it looked very imposing. Other options like metallic silver are also cool, but black tends to have a higher resale value. I suggest car owners consider the climate when choosing a color: black cars heat up quickly in summer, but as long as the air conditioning is powerful, it's fine. Regular waxing can make the paint last longer, saving a lot of hassle. Color is a matter of personal preference, and I think black looks particularly commanding on an SUV. On long drives, it stands out more under nighttime lighting, which also adds a bit to safety. In short, choosing a black Tharu is the right call.
