Volkswagen is planning to enter the most affordable SUV segment with its new sub-4m SUV. The model is expected to launch by mid to late 2027, and will rival the likes of Tata Nexon, Skoda Kylaq, Hyundai Venue, Mahindra XUV 3XO and others in the segment.

Volkswagen Sub-4m SUV


Volkswagen Tera is expected to be a mirror image of the Skoda Kylaq, with a different logo and character, to focus more on affordability. The VW Tera SUV is already on sale in the international market, but it is slightly longer than 4m. However, in India, we might see the SUV placed in the sub-4m category to avail tax benefits.
The design language matches that of other Volkswagen models, such as the Tiguan R-Line. The blacked-out elements, like the alloys, grille, and roof, give it a sporty look, which is quite suitable, as VWs are known for their sporty driving dynamics.

Features


The feature list would be identical to the Kylaq and would include amenities such as –
- 10-inch infotainment screen
- Electric sunroof
- Rear parking camera
- Front ventilated seats
- Cruise control
- Powered front seats
- Leatherette seats
- Electrically-adjustable ORVMs with auto-fold
- Wireless charging
- 8-inch digital driver’s display
- 6-airbags
Powertrain


We expect it to be offered with the same 1.0-litre TSI (114bhp & 178Nm) mated to either a 6-speed manual or 6-speed AT.

Volkswagen Tera Launch


We expect the Volkswagen Tera to be priced between Rs 9 lakh and Rs 16 lakh (on-road, Mumbai). The popularity of a Volkswagen remains high, so if it plays its cards right, the Tera could be a huge success, just like the Skoda Kylaq.
It is highly unlikely that the Tera will be launched this year, as 2026 is already pretty packed. We could see it launched by mid- to late-2027.
