Trim Comparison

Exterior Design

The Tharu features Volkswagen's clean, functional SUV design language — a horizontal grille with chrome accents, halogen or available LED headlights, and a robust front bumper. The side profile is straightforward with a high beltline and practical roof rails. The raised ride height and body-colored wheel arches give it an SUV stance without unnecessary bulk. At the rear, clean taillight clusters and a subtle skid plate complete the utilitarian look. The 4,355 mm length is ideal for markets where parking space is limited.
