The Performance is Surprisingly Good: Test Drive of SAIC Volkswagen Teramont Pro

On March 10, 2025, the Teramont Pro was officially launched. The new vehicle has undergone comprehensive upgrades in terms of appearance, interior, power, and intelligence. It is also equipped with the fifth-generation EA888 2.0T engine, making it the first model under the Volkswagen brand in China to feature this new engine. With these upgrades and the introduction of a fixed-price promotion ranging from $36,900\$to$43,900$ (converted from ¥269,900 to ¥319,900), can the Teramont Pro once again appeal to the needs of family users? Let's take a closer look today.

In this era where new energy vehicles are constantly emerging, the Teramont Pro must first make changes to its appearance to immediately capture consumers' attention. The overall design of the vehicle has integrated the latest Volkswagen family style, incorporating many elements from the ID series models. Paired with blackened trim panels, it presents a notably different style compared to the original Teramont, which featured extensive chrome decorations. The current Teramont Pro appears more youthful and sporty.

The interior changes in the Teramont Pro are actually the same as those in the already-launched Passat Pro. The most noticeable upgrade is the increase in the central console screen size from the original 12 inches to 15 inches. Meanwhile, the original small-sized gear lever has been completely removed and replaced with a steering column-mounted gear shift. Depending on the configuration, the front passenger seat also offers an 11.6-inch entertainment screen. Additionally, compared to the older model, numerous  practical features have been added, such as a 40W wireless phone charger in the front row. The infotainment system has also been upgraded, now featuring a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, 12GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage, significantly enhancing overall system fluidity. It has also integrated this year's hottest AI model, DeepSeek, allowing for wake-word-free voice control, dual-zone wake-word-free recognition, continuous recognition, gesture control, and other functionalities. The network has been upgraded to 5G. In summary, the level of intelligence has been全面提升. Apart from these intelligent features, the infotainment system also provides options for in-car fragrance and ambient lighting mode adjustments.
