Brazil: Volkswagen Tera name confirmed for new affordable SUV

The Tera SUV could be Volkswagen's version of the recently unveiled Skoda Kylaq in India.

Volkswagen has confirmed "Tera" as the name of its all-new affordable SUV, set to debut in Brazil in 2025.

The all-new Volkswagen Tera will debut a brand new segment in the Brazilian market, positioning it below the brand's mid-size SUV, the T-Cross. The new affordable SUV is currently undergoing testing at a Volkswagen manufacturing facility in Brazil. The images showcase a design inspired by the brand's latest-generation Tiguan SUV, featuring LED headlights, a sleek front grille, air intakes on the front bumper and 17-inch wheels.

The new Volkswagen Tera will be based on the MQB-A0 platform, the international version of the MQB-A0-IN used in India on models such as the Virtus, Taigun, Skoda Kushaq & Skoda Slavia. In the Brazilian market, the Tera is said to be based on the Polo, even having the same wheelbase as the hatchback - 2,566 mm.

Once launched in Brazil, the new affordable SUV from Volkswagen will reportedly be powered by a 1.0-litre TSI engine. It produces around 116 BHP and will be paired with either a 6-speed manual or automatic transmission.

Reports do indicate the Tera SUV to be Volkswagen's version of the recently unveiled Skoda Kylaq in India.
