2 Answers
The SAIC Volkswagen Tharu has body dimensions of 4453mm in length, 1841mm in width, and 1632mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2680mm. The Tharu is built on Volkswagen's MQB platform, positioned below the Tiguan L, and will serve as the successor to the older Tiguan model. The interior layout of the new vehicle is quite similar to the all-new Lavida. The 2019 SAIC Volkswagen Tharu is equipped with two engines: a 1.4TSI and a 2.0TSI. The 1.4TSI engine delivers a maximum power of 110kW and a maximum torque of 250Nm, belonging to the high-power version of the EA211 series. The 2.0TSI engine offers a maximum power of 137kW and a maximum torque of 320Nm, which is part of the third-generation EA888 series.
I've driven the SAIC Volkswagen Tharu many times and find its body dimensions particularly practical: 4452 mm in length, 1841 mm in width, 1632 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2688 mm. These numbers translate well into daily use—the moderate length makes parking in crowded cities less like bumper cars, the sufficient width ensures stable turns while driving, the height improves visibility and provides ample headroom, and adults won't feel cramped in the back seats. Compared to the Honda CR-V in the same class, the Tharu is slightly shorter but has better interior space optimization. The trunk can fit a picnic box plus two small suitcases, making it great for family trips. During maintenance, I asked the mechanic, who mentioned that the lightweight design of this size keeps fuel consumption manageable, so it handles both daily commutes and long trips with ease.
