Is the Touran an imported vehicle?
2 Answers
The Touran is not an imported vehicle; it is domestically produced. Taking the 2021 Touran as an example, it is an MPV with the following dimensions: length 4527mm, width 1829mm, height 1659mm, wheelbase 2791mm, and a curb weight of 1515kg. The 2021 Touran features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a four-link independent rear 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 the Touran for over three years, and it's not an imported vehicle. In the domestic market, the Touran is a purely locally produced model manufactured by SAIC Volkswagen. The factory in Shanghai has very mature production processes. I remember the salesperson explained in detail when I bought the car that localization significantly reduced the price—for example, compared to the imported version, there's no tariff or shipping cost pressure. The car offers practical space, making it ideal for family trips, and maintenance is convenient with parts readily available at nearby repair shops. Volkswagen's localization strategy is strong; the Touran was designed specifically for Chinese market needs, unlike some imported cars where you have to wait for parts. So, rest assured, the daily driving experience is excellent, and fuel consumption is well controlled.
