2024 Volkswagen Tharu Priced Starting At P 1.8M | CarGuide

The Volkswagen Tharu will be available in two variants—the 300 TSI DSG SE priced at around P 1.8 and top-of-the-line 300 TSI DSG SEL at P 1.95 million.

Both variants feature a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine with BlueMotion tech. This outputs 160 horsepower and 250 Nm of torque. It hooks up to a 7-speed dual clutch automatic driving the front wheels.

Pricing fail, to be honest.

You can get a much larger Ford Territory (also made in China like the Tharu) with all the same features as the base model for about half a million less. The Subaru Crosstrek, which is roughly the same size as the Tharu is just a few dozen thou more expensive but is an AWD and probably drives much much better than this VW.

^ I wonder why isn't VW PH offering VW EVs locally.

Do they think people are excited with their local line-up?

More so today since their President and CEO just got the job weeks ago.

We can expect further changes within the AC Motors leadership in the coming months.
