At the recent 2021 Auto Shanghai motor show, the production version of the Volkswagen Talagon has been officially revealed and which was originally a concept back in April of 2019. The concept of pre-owned cars in the UAE has truly revolutionized the concept of buying and selling your favorite automobiles in a true sense. It is true beyond the shadow of doubt that the brand new SUVs can be a costly undertaking and that is where Carswitch comes into play where you can easily find your favorite car not only at the most affordable prices but also without any hassle. Just name your most favored car and they have you covered in every case!
The best part is that this new awe-inspiring SUV is now the biggest model in the company’s lineup and is even bigger than the mighty and inspiring Volkswagen Atlas in terms of overall length, width, and also height. While being exceptionally built on the brand’s MQB platform, the VW Talagon is mighty, measuring 5,152 mm long, 2,002 mm wide and also 1,795 mm wide. With these dimensions, the Talagon is all set to woo petrolheads all over while coming awfully close to the full-size American SUVs such as the Chevy Tahoe and its siblings from GMC and Cadillac. The most interesting point is that the Talagon will have both six-seat and seven-seat configurations to make the most of the size.
Wonderful exterior to make things more amazing
VW states the exterior design is ideally meant to be a fascinating fusion of SUV and MPV. As far as the front is concerned, it has a tall, block shape to it while the rear is softer with even more minivan-like curved edges. To put things more precisely, the exterior design is a derivative of the staid VW SUV design language flaunted by the smallest Taigun to the mighty Teramont. Besides, the exceptional dashboard design, apart from a floating touchscreen, is pretty much identical to the Golf. Moreover, the ambient lighting, fabulous leather upholstery, a panoramic sunroof and many other bells and whistles that you can expect from an SUV of this segment.
The Talagon’s interior is something beyond the extraordinary
Truth be told, the fascinating interior of the Talagon is where the real fun begins. You will be amazed to know that it is sporting VW’s interior design language and tech in the most ideal way possible. Besides, it has an intriguing floating element where the gear selector and other crucial controls are housed. You can also observe that it’s running the same, brand new infotainment system being found on the ID.4, and it has an ideal digital instrument cluster as well.
As far as the second row’s captain chairs are concerned, they are even quilted and adorned with the contrast-colored stitching. Moreover, pretty door panel designs ideally grace the first and second rows. Honestly, this can be one of the best VW interiors that we have come across in ages.
Powerful engine to entice SUV enthusiasts
As far as the engine is concerned, the VW Talagon is powered by an awe-inspiring V6 unit and which may apparently look a bit small for its size. However, the 2.5-litre V6 unit is turbocharged while producing 295 hp and 500 Nm. Besides, a seven-speed awesome dual-clutch transmission channels this power to all four wheels through the magnificent 4Motion-all-wheel-drive system.
The eye-popping VW Talagon is yet another of the China-only SUV from the 2021 Auto Shanghai, a motor show that wasn’t affected by the pandemic. While keeping in view the regional launch, we may not witness the VW Talagon in the gulf anytime soon.
