Volkswagen’s upcoming SUV, the Teramont, has yet to be officially revealed. However, that did not stop the people of the Internet from discovering a leak and publishing a few photos of the model.
The images in the gallery first appeared on Car News China, and they show the Volkswagen SUV without any form of camouflage. It is believed that they were taken in a complex of the automaker, as the scenery behind the vehicle does not “fit” for a professional photo shoot eligible for promotional material.

As usual with this kind of images, the author prefers to remain unknown, as the access to the German SUV is probably restricted, and taking photos of it is evidently prohibited.

Regardless, here are a few pictures of the next SUV from Volkswagen, which will apparently be offered with either LED of halogen headlights, as a photo comparison shows.

As you already know, Volkswagen’s new SUV might get two names, depending on the markets it will be sold, and the American version will have a different nameplate.

We also know that it will be a seven-seat model, but it will be available in five-seat configurations as well. It is essential to note that the version you observe in the photo gallery is meant for the Chinese market, and that it will also be built there.

The German brand has a joint-venture named Shanghai-Volkswagen, which was started with local partners. According to the source quoted by Car News China, the SUV will be 5,039 mm long, 1,989 mm wide, and 1,773 mm tall. The wheelbase is reportedly 2,980 mm long. Its dimensions make it close to the old Audi Q7.

In spite of its size, the big SUV from Volkswagen will be cheaper than an Audi Q7, and some say that it will be more affordable in China than the Touareg. The difference would come from the fact that the Touareg is imported, while the Teramont is made there, an element that brings lower prices for tax reasons.
