Volkswagen Talagon

The Volkswagen Talagon is a full-size crossover SUV with three-row seating manufactured by the German automaker Volkswagen through FAW-Volkswagen joint venture in China since 2021. It is the largest SUV model produced by the company and also the second largest vehicle based on the MQB platform, after the Viloran minivan.

Overview
The Talagon was previewed by a near-production concept vehicle called the SMV (Sport Multi-Purpose Vehicle ) in April 2019. The production version was unveiled at Auto Shanghai in April 2021. The vehicle is based on the modular MQB platform in its most stretched configuration. Considered as a sister model to the Teramont/Atlas, it is slightly larger by around 110 mm in length and 12 mm in width.

Powertrain
The engine configurations are carried from the Teramont, which include a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine that can produce 186 PS and 220 PS, which are labeled '330 TSI' and '380 TSI' respectively. A 2.5-litre VR6 engine labeled as '530 V6' is also offered. All configurations are paired with a wet 7-speed DSG transmission.
