What are the differences between the Volkswagen Talagon and Teramont?
2 Answers
The differences between the Volkswagen Talagon and Teramont are as follows: Details: Their exterior designs appear very similar, but there are differences in the details: The Talagon features single-row front headlights that look more rounded, known as the R-line with a sport package, which is particularly appealing to younger consumers. In contrast, the Teramont has double-row front headlights that appear more angular and straightforward. Both vehicles have similar body dimensions, with wheelbases close to 2980mm. The Teramont measures 5052/1989/1773mm in length, width, and height, with an unladen ground clearance of 190mm, while the Talagon measures 5152/2002/1795mm with an unladen ground clearance of 200mm. From the data, the Talagon is larger than the Teramont, making it the largest SUV under the Volkswagen brand. Powertrain: The powertrain systems of both vehicles are quite similar, each equipped with 2.0T engines in both high and low power versions, as well as a German-imported 2.5T engine. Both models are paired with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, with the 530TSI version featuring the DQ500 transmission, which performs exceptionally well. The Talagon is slightly slower in acceleration compared to the SAIC Teramont, mainly due to its heavier weight. However, the Talagon offers better fuel efficiency than the SAIC Teramont.
I think the main differences between the Teramont and the Atlas lie in space layout and design details. The Teramont has slightly larger body dimensions, especially a longer wheelbase, making the third row more comfortable. For my family of four plus elderly members traveling together, it doesn't feel cramped even when fully occupied. As for the Atlas, its exterior looks more square and rugged. The trunk space is actually similar, but I feel the second-row seat adjustment range is somewhat limited. In terms of power, they're quite comparable, both offering 2.0T or 2.5T options. However, the Teramont's chassis tuning is softer, providing smoother filtration over speed bumps. Regarding features, the Atlas' entry-level version is more affordable, but the Teramont's standard matrix headlights and rear privacy glass across all trims are very practical. If I had to choose, I'd go with the Teramont for seven-seat necessity, but the Atlas for regular five-to-six passenger use.
