Overview

• Volkswagen has begun retail delivery of the Brazil-made Tera in Argentina, offering four trims—Trend, Comfort, High and Outfit—with 1.6-liter MSi and 1.0-liter TSI engine options paired to manual or automatic transmissions.
• The High and Outfit trims include Autonomous Emergency Braking as standard equipment while Trend and Comfort buyers must purchase it as an option, prompting LatinNCAP to caution against applying a five-star rating to all local versions.
• Dealer price lists place the Tera between ARS 29.9 million and ARS 38.5 million in Argentina, backed by a three-year/100,000 km warranty that aligns with VW’s regional offering.
• Strong initial demand in Brazil—12,000 orders in the first sales day—has stretched capacity at the Taubaté plant and created delivery waits of up to 90 days, with ripple effects on Argentine allocations.
• Built on Volkswagen’s MQB-A0/A00 architecture and positioned below the T-Cross and Nivus, the Tera enters a competitive entry-level SUV field alongside the Fiat Pulse, Renault Kardian and Citroën Basalt.
