The Teramont is equipped with the Volkswagen EA888 series 2.0T engine and the EA390 series 2.5T engine. The Teramont is a new mid-to-large SUV under SAIC Volkswagen, with dimensions of 5039mm in length, 1989mm in width, 1773mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2980mm. In terms of configuration, the Teramont features adaptive cruise control, lane keeping, blind spot monitoring, collision warning, heated steering wheel, front seat heating and ventilation, and a panoramic sunroof. Exterior-wise, the Teramont draws heavily from the design of the CrossBlue concept car, presenting a very robust appearance, featuring a dual-slat chrome grille that extends directly into the headlights.
As a Volkswagen enthusiast, I've researched the Touareg's engine configuration. It primarily uses the EA888 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, delivering around 220 horsepower and paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The acceleration from standstill is quite brisk in city driving, and overtaking on highways is effortless. Regular 92-octane fuel suffices, with fuel consumption approximately 10 liters per 100 kilometers – not excessively thirsty, though it increases slightly with prolonged air-conditioned full-load driving, making it suitable for family use. For maintenance, regular oil and air filter changes are recommended to prevent turbo lag issues. The engine's overall reliability is well-proven in models like the Tiguan L. When purchasing, pay attention to model year variations to avoid potential used-car pitfalls.
I've been driving the Touareg for half a year now. The 2.0T engine is sufficient for daily commuting, with responsive acceleration and smooth power delivery during highway cruising. It runs more smoothly on 95-octane gasoline, averaging 9-11 liters per 100km, which is more fuel-efficient than the Highlander in the same class. Maintenance is required every 7,500 kilometers at a reasonable cost, but special attention should be paid to spark plug replacement to avoid engine vibration. I've tested it on slopes and with heavy loads without any power loss, and it handles well in rainy conditions. Overall, this engine is economical and practical, hassle-free, making it ideal for users like me who commute to work or enjoy weekend road trips.
