Design
The 2024 Teramont combines modernity with classic design, featuring a front end that exudes vitality and appeal, with three gleaming chrome lines on its black grille that impart a luxurious character. LED daytime running lights surround these chrome lines, enhancing visibility and aesthetic value.
The side design of the Teramont showcases Volkswagen's mastery in blending elegance with functionality. With uniquely designed 21-inch wheels and dynamic lines extending from the tail lights across the large fenders to below the door handles, the vehicle presents a boxy appearance that symbolizes practicality and distinction.
The rear design complements this aesthetic vision, featuring a wide bumper equipped with chrome-tipped exhaust outlets and broad tail lights that reflect the strength of the design. The vehicle is also equipped with a panoramic sunroof and a short integrated roof spoiler that adds to its allure and provides a more enjoyable driving experience. Not to mention the luggage rack, which is an important feature for long trips, making the Teramont an ideal choice for exploration and adventure.
