Longer Platform, Larger Space

The road has revealed the benefits of this new SUV, the largest in the Volkswagen range. From the outset, it is the MQB platform, typical of the group on recent models, with the difference that it is the MQB B, the longest version, with five meters in length; In addition, in its features are a body with greater durability, better torsional capability and improved interior space.

Already in the cabin, you can see a combination of materials that define it as a family vehicle with Premium tunes. This is thanks to the quality of finishes, two-color materials and an eight-inch central screen in which you have access to entertainment that includes compatibility with the operating system IOS and Android, which are intuitive.

Automatic temperature control works for all three zones, all have independent air conditioning; In addition, twelve Fender brand speakers enliven the cabin environment, the equipment is of high quality and provides clear sound even for the occupants of the last row.

The space is without a doubt one of his strong cards. Currently, the third row of SUV vehicles could be a headache for occupants measuring 1.80 m. or more; Nevertheless, in this model, the second row is able to travel so that the third enjoys greater amplitude in the legs.

We use the V6 3.6-liter version, the most powerful engine to date and that really gives the necessary torque when needed. It is coupled to an 8 speed automatic transmission that are more than necessary for engine response. All versions have this box.

In the entry version, we find a 2.0 TFSI engine for those who require lower fuel consumption. The figures we drove in terms of consumption with the six-cylinder propeller were 13 km / l. It is important to emphasize that these data were obtained without taking into account a measured management, so under other conditions we could obtain better consumption figures.

The suspension helps to have a comfortable handling. On the other hand, the brakes are of great precision and they stop with meticulous pressure on the whole unit.

We still have a good idea of ​​the amplitude and visibility that the overall platform offers in general. Without a doubt, Volkswagen looks to the future and wants to cover every possible segment. Teramont is a product that stands out for its level of versatility, space and design.

It is not yet defined when its sale will begin; It is estimated that it will be for the end of July, but it is important to watch this new member who has to compete in a segment where we have seen some important players, but what will be the significance of the Volkswagen Teramont 2019.
