Is the Touareg imported or domestically produced?

[LeBrielle]

The Touareg is a domestically produced SUV, a mid-size SUV jointly manufactured by Volkswagen and SAIC. In terms of exterior design, the SAIC Volkswagen Touareg draws heavily from the CrossBlue concept car, giving it a very imposing overall appearance. For details, the new vehicle features a double-bar chrome-plated horizontal grille that extends directly into the headlights. In terms of dimensions, the new vehicle measures 5039mm in length, 1989mm in width, and 1773mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2980mm. For the interior, the SAIC Volkswagen Touareg utilizes very straight-line design elements, also inspired by the CrossBlue concept car.

I'm a Teramont owner who bought this car last year. It's completely domestically produced, manufactured locally by Volkswagen's SAIC joint venture, not an imported vehicle. I've also driven imported VWs before, like the Touareg, which is purely imported and ridiculously expensive. In contrast, the Teramont, though domestically made, feels very stable to drive, with quality on par with imports, especially in terms of noise control on highways. The key advantage is hassle-free maintenance—my local 4S dealership can handle everything, and parts cost half as much. No agonizing waits for imported parts like with foreign models. If you're considering buying one, I’d say the domestic Teramont offers unbeatable value—spacious for family trips, fuel-efficient, and monthly maintenance costs just a few hundred bucks, far more practical than pure imports. As a pragmatic owner, I highly recommend the domestic version.

As an automotive enthusiast, I've studied the Teramont for several years. It's 100% domestically produced in the Chinese market, manufactured and assembled by SAIC Volkswagen. Since its launch in 2017, it has been fully localized with no imported components. Volkswagen's strategy is quite wise - localization directly reduces the vehicle price. With the same configuration, the Teramont is nearly 100,000 yuan cheaper than imported SUVs, not to mention various taxes and fees. Technically, local production has adapted it to domestic road conditions, with more comfortable suspension tuning and fewer minor issues, unlike imported vehicles that often require part replacements. I recommend not blindly idolizing imports - domestic vehicles have abundant spare parts and mature technology. Nowadays, car forums online are filled with owners sharing DIY maintenance experiences, which are both cost-effective and convenient.

When helping friends choose a car, I always recommend the domestically produced Touareg. It is indeed a domestic model from SAIC Volkswagen, not an imported one. If you're on a tight budget, the domestic version is significantly cheaper than the imported one, with a starting price of around 300,000 yuan. It comes fully equipped with features like airbags and driver assistance systems. Maintenance-wise, domestic models have a clear advantage—you can go to any chain repair shop, unlike imported cars that require specialized authorized service centers. As an experienced driver, I say this to save money and hassle. Domestic cars retain higher residual value after five years, making them easier to sell second-hand.
