Here are the relevant introductions about the Teramont and Tiguan: 1. Tiguan L: Produced by Shanghai Volkswagen, it offers a total of 7 models equipped with 1.8T (330TSI) and 2.0T (380TSI) engines. The price range is from 223,800 to 359,800 yuan. In terms of side design, the Volkswagen Teramont has more pronounced waistline styling. The Tiguan L comes with 19-inch wheels. Regarding interior design, the Tiguan L's interior appears somewhat plain, with the main difference between the two vehicles lying in the area and material of the decorative panels. The Teramont's interior craftsmanship and materials are a grade higher than the Tiguan L's, featuring black seats. 2. Teramont: This is SAIC Volkswagen's new mid-to-large SUV—officially named the Teramont. It is priced higher than the Tiguan L, approximately between 300,000 and 400,000 yuan. It features a double-bar chrome-plated horizontal grille that extends directly into the headlights. The Tiguan L's waistline design stretches from the headlights to the taillights. The Teramont is equipped with 20-inch wheels. In terms of interior design, the Teramont boasts a higher-end design with red seats.
As a seasoned Volkswagen driver with ten years of experience, let me break down the core differences between the Teramont and Tiguan L. Though both bear the VW badge, they're fundamentally different beasts. The Teramont is a proper midsize seven-seater SUV – it can comfortably accommodate a family of seven with room to spare for a stroller in the trunk, and its chassis feels exceptionally solid. The Tiguan L, on the other hand, is a compact five-seater SUV where the rear seat gets cramped with three adults, but it compensates with a price tag over 100,000 yuan cheaper. Driving the Teramont feels like steering a steady ocean liner – superb sound insulation but clumsy handling. The Tiguan L handles like an agile pony – nimble in corners but struggles with road imperfections. Last month when my cousin agonized over this choice, I asked him straight: Spend extra for the Teramont if you want comfortable seven-seater family trips, or save money with the Tiguan L for young couples' daily commuting – you can't go wrong either way.
