The Teramont has three body weights: Teramont 2022 330TSI Front-wheel Drive Premium Luxury Edition weight: 2005kg Teramont 2022 380TSI All-wheel Drive Luxury Edition weight: 2090kg Teramont 2022 530V6 All-wheel Drive Premium Luxury Edition: 2200kg The body weight mainly depends on the car model. The body dimensions are 5052mm/1989mm/1773mm in length/width/height. The Teramont is a new mid-to-large SUV model under SAIC Volkswagen, based on the Volkswagen MQB platform. The Teramont is equipped with mid-to-high-level features, such as electronic parking, front/side airbags, front/rear head airbags, knee airbags, tire pressure display, fatigue driving alert, front/rear parking sensors, rearview camera, cruise control, five driving modes, automatic parking, engine start-stop, auto hold, hill start assist, hill descent control, panoramic sunroof, and one-key start. Size parameters: The Volkswagen Teramont is a mid-to-large SUV with considerable dimensions. Data shows the Teramont measures 5039x1989x1773mm in length/width/height, with a wheelbase of 2980mm. The wheelbase is close to 3m, and the height is nearly 2m. Power parameters: In terms of the powertrain, it still features two different turbocharged engines: a 2.0T and a 2.5T V6. The 2.0T engine comes in low/high-power versions, with maximum power outputs of 186Ps/220Ps and peak torques of 320Nm/350Nm, respectively. The 2.5T V6 engine delivers a maximum power of 299Ps and a peak torque of 500Nm. Both are paired with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. Space parameters: The trunk depth is 610mm without folding the seats, 1270mm with the third row folded, and a maximum depth of 2260mm with the last two rows folded. Fuel consumption parameters: The MIIT-rated fuel consumption for the low-power 2.0T engine is 7.5L, the high-power 2.0T is 8.7L, and the 2.5T V6 is 10.1L. Stronger power leads to higher fuel consumption, which is also closely related to engine quality.

I've been driving the Touareg for over two years. The vehicle typically weighs around 2100 kg, depending on the configuration—the high-end version might reach 2180 kg. As a daily driver, the heavier weight makes it very stable, with no floating sensation at high speeds, though acceleration is a bit slower, taking about 8 seconds to go from 0 to 100 km/h, which slightly affects the driving fun. Fuel consumption isn't low either, averaging around 10 liters per 100 km, and it's even higher in city traffic jams. Parking and reversing require extra attention due to the larger turning radius, but the rearview camera helps. Safety-wise, the weight adds a sense of security, and it scores high in crash tests, though braking distance is longer on wet roads. Overall, it's great for family trips with ample space and strong load capacity, though maintenance costs are slightly higher. Regular maintenance should include checking tire wear, as the heavy weight leads to faster consumption.

I'm quite passionate about SUVs. The Touareg weighs around 2,100 kg in its standard version, which is significantly heavier than the Highlander's 1,800+ kg. The extra weight improves stability but makes handling less agile, with a heavier feel when cornering. In terms of power, the 2.0T engine does a decent job accelerating the 2-ton body, with official data showing 8.5 seconds to reach 100 km/h. However, the high-speed wind resistance leads to slightly higher fuel consumption; my real-world test showed over 9 liters per 100 km. Lightweight materials like alloy components help reduce weight, but the Touareg is positioned as a midsize SUV, so its heavier weight is expected. Compared to German counterparts in the same class, its weight control is average, slightly affecting off-road performance but posing no issues on daily paved roads. Owner feedback praises its cargo capacity without question, though refueling frequency is higher. Long-term driving tends to wear tires faster, so opting for durable models is recommended.

The Touareg typically weighs between 2095 and 2180 kilograms, depending on the engine and optional accessories. The use of high-strength steel in the body construction adds some weight but enhances rigidity, providing a solid and stable driving experience with minimal body roll during turns. The increased weight leads to higher fuel consumption; official data shows a combined fuel economy of 8-10 liters per 100 kilometers, though actual city driving may reach around 11 liters. Acceleration performance is somewhat limited by the weight, with a 0-100 km/h time of over 8 seconds, which is slower than smaller vehicles. While parking visibility is good, ample space is required to prevent scrapes. For maintenance, the heavier suspension load necessitates regular checks of suspension components to ensure safety.
