Because overall, the Tharu, with more configurations and a more stylish design, leads the Tayron. The SAIC Volkswagen Tharu is undoubtedly the best choice for consumers pursuing high performance and cost-effectiveness. Below is the relevant introduction: Exterior: First, in terms of appearance, the Tharu, nicknamed "Little Teramont," inherits Volkswagen's latest SUV design philosophy. The main differences between the two models lie in the front grille design and some detailed elements. Positioning: From a positioning perspective, the Tharu is a compact SUV, while the Tayron is a midsize SUV. However, the Tayron isn't a true midsize SUV because its dimensions aren't particularly large. The Tharu has a body length of 4453 mm, whereas the Tayron measures 4589 mm. The width and height of both vehicles are quite similar, with an approximate 51 mm difference in wheelbase. Comparatively, the Tayron has some advantages in size and space. Interior: The Tharu's interior design is also minimalist, featuring Volkswagen's signature family style. It is wrapped in large leather materials and equipped with a 9.2-inch central control panel. The overall texture is quite impressive, with high practicality. The Tayron's interior continues the design of the older model, maintaining a simple and elegant overall style.

I chose the Tharu over the Tayron mainly from a practical and economical perspective. The Tharu is slightly smaller in size, but it's incredibly convenient for city driving, especially for someone like me who works in Beijing. With daily traffic jams and narrow parking spaces, the Tharu handles it all with ease, unlike the bulkier Tayron, which can be troublesome when turning or changing lanes. Price-wise, the Tharu is also more budget-friendly, with a starting price several ten thousand yuan lower. On a limited budget, the money I saved allowed me to add some extra features, like seat heating or a navigation upgrade. In terms of fuel consumption, the Tharu's engine is more efficient, averaging around 7 liters per 100 km in the city, while the Tayron consumes at least 8 liters or more. Over time, this adds up to significant fuel savings. Although the Tharu's configuration isn't as luxurious as the Tayron's, it has all the essentials like leather seats and automatic air conditioning, which are more than enough for my daily commute. As an average office worker, I'm not after high-end specs—just affordability and reliability. On weekends, when I take my family on short trips, the rear seats aren't cramped, and the trunk can easily fit three suitcases. Overall, hassle-free and cost-effective are my top criteria when choosing a car.

I think the T-Roc is a more suitable choice for young families. We have two kids, and while the Tayron offers more space, it's tens of thousands more expensive. The T-Roc actually makes better use of its space—the rear seats are adjustable, installing child seats is easier, and the trunk height is just right, so you don’t have to bend over to grab things, which saves a lot of effort. During the test drive, we compared them: the T-Roc’s suspension is softer, making it more stable over speed bumps, so the kids don’t fuss in the back. The Tayron feels stiffer, and after a while, the ride gets a bit bumpy. The T-Roc is also more fuel-efficient—for daily school runs, it saves us a few hundred on gas each month, and the insurance costs are lower too. The interior is simple and clean, easy to operate, and my wife, who’s not the best driver, finds the rearview camera clear and user-friendly. The Tayron’s premium features like 4WD and a panoramic sunroof feel like a waste of money for us—we’d rather invest in things like airbags. Overall, the T-Roc wins on everyday convenience and value for money.

I chose the Tharu because its design is more youthful and dynamic, and its compact size makes it agile to drive in the city. The Tayron is larger and feels cumbersome, making it tiring to navigate through heavy traffic. The Tharu has excellent fuel consumption control, averaging just over 6 liters in the city, saving money that can be spent elsewhere. The interior is practical, with clearly labeled buttons that are easy to use without fumbling. The trunk capacity is moderate, perfect for groceries or weekend getaway gear, and family members don't complain about rear seat space. It offers clear value for money, with a smooth and effortless driving experience, and an affordable price that doesn't waste your hard-earned cash.
