Volkswagen has revealed the new generation base Teramont

Photos and characteristics of a crossover with the index “380 TSI” appeared in the open database of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of China. This Volkswagen Teramont will receive a derated 2.0-liter gasoline engine (214 horsepower) and front-wheel drive. At the top of the line, a modification of the “450 TSI” is expected with a 272-horsepower “turbo-four” and all-wheel drive with a rear clutch; the R-Line package and antichrome will be offered as an option.

The second generation of Volkswagen Teramont will feature a design in the spirit of electric cars and increased overhangs. The length will increase by 106 mm, and the wheelbase will not change (2980 mm), which suggests that the platform will be the same. Noteworthy are the hidden retractable door handles, rectangular sections of headlights and lanterns.

The current Volkswagen Teramont has a 2.5-liter V6, but this unit will probably be abandoned in the second generation. As for the gearbox, there is unlikely to be an alternative to the 7-speed preselective DSG “robot” in the Middle Kingdom. But in the USA, a similar Volkswagen Atlas will probably retain the classic automatic, because Americans don’t like the features of the DSG.

Volkswagen added an off-road version to the Teramont crossover

Probably, the presentation of the new generation Volkswagen Teramont will take place next year. The current range includes a “shortened” version and a cross-coupe with the prefix X, but whether the variety will remain after the change of generations is an open question, because the German concern can no longer afford variability for the sake of variability.
