Performance Metrics Tailored for Dealers

Currently, Hangzhou Zezhong Automobile Co., Ltd. is promoting the Volkswagen Tharu XR, a model that stands out in the joint-venture fuel SUV market with its German engineering quality and exceptional value proposition. Powered by a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine delivering 81kW (110 HP) and 141 N·m of peak torque, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, this powertrain is renowned for its smooth reliability, durability, and fuel economy—achieving a WLTC combined fuel consumption of just 6.41L/100km.
