Volkswagen has introduced a new SUV for the Chinese market where the spacious vehicles get a certain nod among the discerning customers. Global automakers have been developing China-specific models over the years and the strategy has worked a treat, as long-wheelbase versions compared to the rest of the world have been a huge hit across the board.
The German manufacturer has utilised the expandable portfolio of its Volkswagen Group models and unveiled a new SUV christened as Tharu. It is the road-going version of the VW Powerful Family SUV concept that made its world premiere in March. Or straightway, the Tharu can be described as a rebadged version of the Skoda’s successful Karoq – the smallest SUV currently available from the Czech brand.
