The Vietnamese automobile market is preparing to welcome two new names from the German brand Volkswagen. Specifically, Volkswagen plans to introduce two new models in Vietnam in December 2023, namely the Viloran and Teramont X.
Both the Viloran and Teramont X are fully imported from China, while current Volkswagen models in Vietnam are fully imported from the United States, Europe, or India. Both the Viloran and Teramont X are produced by the SAIC-Volkswagen joint venture in China.
In Vietnam, the Viloran will be available in two versions: Premium and Luxury. The expected prices for these two versions are 1,989 billion VND and 2,188 billion VND, respectively. Meanwhile, the Teramont X will be priced at 2,168 billion VND. Deposits are now being accepted by all dealers for these two new models.

It is not yet known which engine the Teramont X will use in Vietnam. In China, it is available with two engine options: a 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder petrol engine delivering 220 horsepower and 350 Nm of torque, and a V6 twin-turbocharged petrol engine with a displacement of 2.5L and producing 299 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque.

The dealership promises to deliver the car before Tet holiday, similar to the Viloran. Moreover, Volkswagen Vietnam plans to switch to importing the Teramont from China, which may help lower the Volkswagen Teramont price compared to the current price of 2.499 billion VND, making it more accessible to customers.

Teramont X is a product developed by the SAIC – Volkswagen joint venture. The car has a sporty design, modern features, and a powerful engine with nearly 300 horsepower.
