Volkswagen Tera

The Volkswagen Tera is a subcompact crossover SUV that Volkswagen has produced since 2025 primarily for the Brazilian market, and it is sold as the Volkswagen Tengo in South Africa. It was first spotted testing in Rio de Janeiro in September 2024. As well as being built in Brazil, it is made at the Volkswagen Kariega plant in South Africa. Alongside the Škoda Kylaq and the sixth-generation Polo it rides on the MQB A0 platform. Full-LED headlights, a slim grille, sculpted fenders and small LED taillights joined by a black trim piece define its look. Three engines are offered, a 1.6-litre four-cylinder of 110 hp and two 1.0-litre three-cylinders, one naturally aspirated and one turbocharged at 109 hp. Latin NCAP gave a basic six-airbag car five stars in June 2025.
