Volkswagen Talagon

The Volkswagen Talagon is a full-size three-row SUV that Volkswagen builds in China through its FAW-Volkswagen joint venture, in production since 2021. It is the largest SUV the company makes and the second largest vehicle on the MQB platform after the Viloran minivan. A near-production concept called the SMV, for Sport Multi-Purpose Vehicle, previewed it in April 2019, and the production version was unveiled at Auto Shanghai in April 2021. It uses the most stretched version of the modular MQB platform and is considered a sister model of the Teramont and Atlas, about 110 mm longer and 12 mm wider. Engines carried over from the Teramont are 2.0-litre turbocharged units of 186 PS and 220 PS and a 2.5-litre VR6, all with a wet 7-speed DSG. A 2025 facelift added a 450 TSI of 268 horsepower.
