STORY

The Tharu XR is a China-only SUV from SAIC Volkswagen, a lengthened and restyled T-Cross that sits below the larger Tharu. Details first came from a Chinese ministry notice and official photos in June 2024, and the car reached the Chengdu show at the end of August 2024. At 4,355 mm it is longer than the Chinese T-Cross on the same 2,651 mm wheelbase, and it is front-wheel drive only. Two 1.5-litre petrol engines are offered: a naturally aspirated one of 110 PS and a turbo of about 160 PS (118 kW).
