The giant Volkswagen Talagon crossover was revealed before the premiere

Photos and characteristics of the updated model have appeared in the open database of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of China. We are talking about the largest crossover from Volkswagen: the wheelbase is the same as that of the Teramont (2980 mm), but due to the original body kit, the overall length is 5168 mm! After the upgrade, the Talagon will lose its 2.5-liter VR6 engine: a 2.0 turbo-four is expected instead.

Could, but failed: Volkswagen Phaeton

Although sales of the Volkswagen Talagon in China have fallen by more than a third in 2024, the restyling is not radical. The bumpers, radiator grille, headlights and lanterns are changing, but the lighting housings are the same, so the changes are not obvious. A “secret” exhaust system became the only possible option, the area of ​​the front bumper air intakes increased, and the design of the wheels changed.

The updated Volkswagen Talagon has hardly changed in size, so the second generation Teramont almost took over the title of the largest crossover on the MQB platform! Technically, these two models are close: both have a 272-horsepower 2.0 turbo engine instead of the VR6 in the top configuration, identical transmissions with 4Matic all-wheel drive.

VW may get rid of one of its brands due to anti-Chinese tariffs

Volkswagen Talagon will continue to be assembled at FAW-Volkswagen facilities, sales are expected in the first half of the year. Perhaps the debut will take place at the upcoming exhibitions in Beijing or Guangzhou. If demand for gasoline models continues to fall, the German concern will have to give up the luxury of internal competition between the FAW and SAIC factories.
