The Volkswagen Talagon (Chinese: 大众揽境; pinyin: Dàzhòng Lǎnjìng) 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 (4.3 in) in length and 12 mm (0.5 in) in width.

Powertrain

The engine configurations are carried from the Teramont, which include a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine that can produce 186 PS (183 hp; 137 kW) and 220 PS (217 hp; 162 kW), 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.
