teramont380 is the Teramont. Specific details are as follows: 1. Model: The Teramont is a new large SUV under SAIC Volkswagen. 2. Body: The vehicle measures 503.9cm in length, 198.9cm in width, and 177.3cm in height, with a wheelbase of 298cm. 3. Features: The Teramont is equipped with adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, blind spot monitoring, collision warning, heated steering wheel, heated and ventilated front seats, panoramic sunroof, and more. 4. Powertrain: The Teramont is powered by a 2.0TSI engine with high and low power outputs and a 2.5TV6 engine, delivering a peak torque of up to 500Nm, paired with a DQ500 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission.

As an owner who has driven this car, the Teramont 380 is essentially the domestic version of the Teramont 380TSI. The biggest selling point of this car is its 2.0T high-power engine, which delivers a strong sense of acceleration push, especially when shifting to S mode for overtaking—it feels exhilarating. I took my family on a road trip with it, and even with all three rows of seats unfolded, it could still fit four suitcases, plus there are hidden storage compartments under the trunk floor. In terms of noise insulation, the tire noise is slightly noticeable at highway speeds, but the standard DCC adaptive suspension handles speed bumps very smoothly. If you ask me, the most appealing feature of this car is actually the second-row independent seats version, which comes with heating, ventilation, and massage functions—more comfortable than some MPVs.

The Teramont 380 is the domestically produced version of the overseas Atlas, positioned as a mid-to-large-sized SUV. Its difference from 7-seat SUVs like the Highlander lies in its ability to comfortably accommodate seven adults, with a third-row legroom of 82cm. The high-power EA888 engine paired with the DQ500 seven-speed wet dual-clutch transmission delivers a tested fuel consumption of around 10L. I noticed its IQ.Light matrix headlights are particularly practical, providing auxiliary lighting that illuminates blind spots during turns, making nighttime mountain driving much safer. As for drawbacks, its length exceeding 5 meters might require a couple more steering adjustments when parking in older residential areas.

The Teramont 380's core competitiveness lies in its mechanical performance. The third-generation EA888 engine paired with 4Motion all-wheel drive delivers stronger cross-axle escape capability than expected. Particularly noteworthy is its expandable space design: the second-row seats can slide 18cm forward/backward, and the fully flat third row can accommodate bicycles. During last year's snow/ice road tests, the snow mode promptly limited power output as needed. However, the infotainment system has room for improvement - touch controls are less intuitive than physical buttons.

I initially chose the Teramont 380 mainly for its practical features. For example, the remote start for the air conditioning is particularly useful in this weather, and the heated steering wheel feels very comfortable to hold in winter. The child safety design is very thoughtful: the ISOFIX interfaces are exposed, so there's no need to remove the seat covers, and both the second and third rows have independent air conditioning vents. The eco mode is sufficient for daily school runs, but the 7.6-meter turning radius requires extra space when making U-turns on narrow roads. For those considering purchasing, I recommend opting for the flagship version—the 360-degree panoramic camera is absolutely essential for such a large vehicle.

The Teramont 380 actually has great modification potential. A stage 1 tune on the stock 380TSI can push it to 300 horsepower, but it's recommended to upgrade the braking system. Overseas examples show Overland-style builds with roof racks and AT tires looking really cool. However, the most practical mod is still underbody protection plates - no need to worry about scraping on unpaved roads. It actually has a sibling model called the Teramont X with a fastback design that's more suited for younger buyers, though the cargo space isn't as generous as the standard version.
