Although SAIC Volkswagen had previously inadvertently leaked the price of the Teramont Pro, possibly around "390,000 yuan," when Fu Qiang, Executive Deputy General Manager of Sales and Marketing at SAIC Volkswagen, officially announced the sincere one-price offer for the "all-terrain large seven-seat intelligent SUV" Teramont Pro on the evening of March 10, the entire venue erupted, and everyone exclaimed, "So worth it!"
The Teramont Pro comes in a total of 3 models, all standardly equipped with the fifth-generation EA888 powertrain and the 4Motion intelligent four-wheel-drive system, with sincere one-price offers of 269,900 to 319,900 yuan respectively. At the same time, the Teramont 380TSI 4WD Outstanding Edition launched at a one-price offer of 259,900 yuan, and the Teramont X 380TSI 4WD Outstanding Edition at a one-price offer of 249,900 yuan.
More importantly, among the heavyweight benefits accompanying the launch of the Teramont Pro, SAIC Volkswagen upgraded the previous lifetime powertrain warranty to a lifetime warranty for the entire vehicle!
Tough and commanding tech style, super-large space without rival
What does "so worth it" mean? First, looking at the exterior design, the overall outline of the Teramont Pro is square and upright with curved lines. As one of the few full-size SUV models, the Teramont Pro inherits the family design but appears more rugged. The "Wings of the Clouds" front face adopts star-sea flowing light headlamps and adds an illuminated logo and a continuous light strip. The dual-layer headlamps show width and thickness, while the continuous light strip stretches the width, making it even more majestic and commanding.
The entire vehicle adopts a black曜 kit paired with a unified body, bringing aerodynamics and coordinated aesthetics to the extreme. The new car comes with 5 all-new body colors and 5 interior colors, and for the first time features SAIC Volkswagen's independently developed hidden ice-breaking door handles, whose maximum thrust can reach 200 newtons, allowing them to easily break through ice even in extreme cold weather of minus 35°C, and automatically unlock in the event of an accident.
The comprehensively upgraded and renewed exterior and interior are paired with a larger body and space. The body dimensions of the Teramont Pro have expanded to 5158×1991×1788 mm, making it the largest SUV model available for under 320,000 yuan. The Teramont Pro is equipped with three-row power-folding seats, allowing free switching from 7 seats to 5 seats with one touch. After the second and third rows are fully folded flat, it can provide a 2.2×1.5-meter double bed or a flat loading space ranging from 286 liters to 2,427 liters.
Power ceiling, pioneer of energy saving and environmental protection
SAIC Volkswagen General Manager Tao Hailong's affection for the Teramont Pro is reflected in his endless talk about the new car's technical details. He began with the fifth-generation EA888 engine equipped in the Teramont Pro: this all-new engine, hailed as the pinnacle of internal combustion engine power technology, is paired with five major black technologies including a variable turbine geometry (VTG) turbocharger, a 500-bar ultra-high-pressure fuel system, optimal air-fuel ratio under all operating conditions, Miller cycle under all operating conditions, and a close-coupled exhaust purification device. Its maximum power reaches 200 kW, peak torque can reach 400 N·m, and 0-100 km/h acceleration takes only 7.6 seconds.
Tao Hailong introduced: "We compared the power levels of 2.0T fuel and hybrid models equipped on luxury cars. Under WLTC combined conditions, the fuel consumption of the fifth-generation EA888 engine is slightly lower than that of同级 vehicles, but at a constant speed of 90 km/h, fuel consumption is only just over 6 liters per 100 kilometers, saving even more compared with the depleted-battery fuel consumption of hybrid models. It also meets the clean exhaust emission requirements of Euro 7 regulations, placing equal emphasis on green environmental protection and durable reliability."
Paired with the fifth-generation EA888 is the DQ501 seven-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, which Tao Hailong described as: "The best transmission is one you cannot feel." The all-new DQ501 transmission has multiple optimal working gears. During acceleration, it does not need frequent gear shifts but directly outputs power, and its quick response brings smoothness as fluid as an electric car.
DCC adaptive suspension, 4Motion intelligent four-wheel drive
Before its official launch, the Teramont Pro had just returned from "mountain running" in Huangshan. Regarding this new car, the media teachers accompanying the drive unanimously agreed: "Models equipped with DCC adaptive electronic suspension are noticeably more comfortable." At the launch, Tao Hailong also specifically mentioned this all-new equipment.
Tao Hailong introduced: "The all-new generation DCC adaptive electronic suspension has a rare-in-its-class 15-level DCC mode, with a wide adjustment range that can adapt to various users' driving habits." He gave an example: "For example, if you usually drive alone, the system will adjust the softness and firmness adaptively according to your preferences. When more people are in the car, such as when the whole family of seven travels together, the DCC adaptive electronic suspension will automatically adjust to your preferred softness and firmness according to the load."
In other words, no matter how many people are on board or what the road conditions are, the all-new generation DCC adaptive electronic suspension equipped on the Teramont Pro will always bring the owner a familiar level of comfort.
The 4Motion intelligent four-wheel-drive system standard on the 3 new models is the confidence behind "all-terrain" capability. Tao Hailong specifically demonstrated scenarios such as the Teramont Pro playing in sand and snow. He said: "Even if three wheels slip or are suspended at the same time, 4Motion can immediately distribute power precisely to the wheels with traction, ensuring passability under various complex terrains."
Six-screen linkage for greater comfort, DeepSeek ready for fun
As another heavyweight contender among SAIC Volkswagen's "Pro Three Musketeers," how could the Teramont Pro lack "intelligence": six-screen linkage brings a more tech-filled cabin to the Teramont Pro. More importantly, the Teramont Pro's smart infotainment system integrates two major AI engines, DeepSeek and ERNIE Bot. Fu Qiang also demonstrated on stage a VCR of Zhu Yilong giving commands in the rear seat in Wuhan dialect — the Teramont Pro is also equipped with iFlytek's intelligent voice system, with recognition accuracy, continuous voice commands, and multiple dialects all handled with ease.
IQ.Light intelligent lighting brings features such as narrow-road width indication that were already impressive on the Tiguan L Pro, while the all-new generation IQ.Pilot intelligent driver assistance system can achieve intelligent following, lane keeping, lane change via stalk, intelligent obstacle avoidance, and many other functions, reaching L2+ intelligent driving assistance standards.
The key point is that the IQ.Drive parking steward equipped on the Teramont Pro adds a remote parking function, enabling parking commands and automatic engine shutdown via a mobile phone. When facing narrow or difficult parking spaces, remote-controlled parking will be much easier.
Objectively speaking, the Teramont Pro's "so worth it" one-price offer also comes with luxury configurations across the entire vehicle, such as cloud-soft surround seats, front-row multi-mode massage with more than 10 programs, a queen passenger seat equipped with an electric leg rest, a panoramic electric sunroof with high-specification sun-protection glass, rear window sunshades, nearly 90 acoustic sound-absorption and insulation designs throughout the vehicle, an intelligent fragrance system, and a 14-channel Harman Kardon high-quality surround sound system...
The Teramont Pro first secures the "largest" title under 320,000 yuan in terms of size, then secures standard four-wheel drive, then takes first place in smart cabin and intelligent driving, while also offering the most complete luxury equipment. Of course, there is also the highly rigid safety body built with 82.3% high-strength steel, plus SAIC Volkswagen's signature laser welding technology, which were not described in detail — all-around in five aspects and winning in multiple categories, yet it still offers a sincere one-price offer that greatly exceeds expectations. Can you still say it is not worth it?
