The differences between the 2017 Volkswagen Teramont and the 2019 Volkswagen Teramont are: 1. Different emission standards: The 2017 Volkswagen Teramont meets the China V emission standard, while the 2019 Volkswagen Teramont meets the China VI emission standard. 2.

Different curb weights: The 2017 Volkswagen Teramont has a curb weight of 1945kg, while the 2019 Volkswagen Teramont weighs 1965kg. Both the 2017 and 2019 Volkswagen Teramont models are mid-to-large-sized SUVs, with identical body dimensions: length 5039mm, width 1989mm, and height 1773mm.
As an owner of an older-generation Touareg, I've carefully compared these two model years. The 2017 Touareg features a more angular exterior design with a traditional dual-horizontal slat grille, while the 2019 model switched to a honeycomb mesh grille for a sportier look. The headlight changes are quite noticeable - the 2017 version mostly used halogen headlights, whereas the 2019 model came standard with sharper-looking LED daytime running lights. For the interior, the 2017 version had analog gauge clusters and mostly 6.5-inch infotainment screens, while the 2019 model upgraded to a 10.2-inch full digital instrument cluster and 8-inch touchscreen with gesture control. Both use 2.0T engines, but the 2019's EA888-DKX engine delivers 250hp compared to the 2017's 220hp, with about 0.5L better fuel economy. The biggest differences are in active safety - the 2017 only had basic cruise control, while the 2019 added lane keeping and adaptive cruise, plus an upgraded 3.0 version of automatic parking. In the used car market, the 2019 holds its value better, though there was about a 30,000 yuan price difference when new - it really comes down to budget considerations.
