Is the Touareg imported or domestically produced?
2 Answers
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.
