The Tharu is a compact German-engineered SUV launched by SAIC-Volkswagen in 2018 and facelifted in 2024. The 2025 model-year carries an official MSRP of RMB 125 900-153 900, but dealers routinely discount RMB 50-60 k, so real transaction prices start from about RMB 65-80 k—making it the cheapest VW-badged SUV on the market.

6. Real-owner feedback
-
Pros: low fuel use (1.5 T real-world 6.8 L/100 km), huge discounts, roomy cabin, solid German chassis, strong resale value.
-
Cons: hard plastics inside (especially base manual-AC trim), torsion-beam ride on bad roads, occasional low-speed jerk from dry-clutch DSG.
Bottom line: the Tharu uses a “half-price Volkswagen” tactic to pull the brand’s SUV entry point down to domestic-brand territory—ideal for urban families who want the badge, low running costs and space in one package.
