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.

As a car enthusiast, I'm very familiar with the background of the Touran. It's not an imported vehicle, but a joint-venture model produced domestically by SAIC Volkswagen. Localized production helps reduce costs, such as avoiding import tariffs, making the car more affordable. Volkswagen has been in China for many years, and the Touran series is optimized for the family car market, being much more practical than fully imported versions. You can confirm the production location by checking the vehicle identification plate - Touran models with VIN codes starting with 'L' are definitely domestically produced. Other Volkswagen models like the Touran L follow the same approach, which facilitates parts supply and after-sales service. Overall, this strategy benefits car owners, allowing them to focus on actual performance rather than worrying about the 'imported' label when choosing a car.

My friend used to drive a Touran, and when I asked about import issues, he just shook his head and said it was domestically produced. SAIC Volkswagen manufactures it locally, eliminating the hassle of import procedures. Domestic production has many advantages, such as saving time and money on maintenance, and the wide distribution of service stations. As a novice learning to drive, I considered comparing it with imported cars, but the Touran, being a local product, is more reliable. The price is also affordable, and the space design is suitable for daily commuting. In short, it's not imported, so don't worry about tariffs when choosing a car—just focus on cost-effectiveness and matching your needs.
