Volkswagen has updated its Tera SUV lineup in Brazil, introducing the 200 TSI engine paired with a new eight-speed automatic transmission for the Comfort and High versions. The Comfort version is priced at R$ 134,790, while the High version starts at R$ 147,190, representing price increases of R$ 1,300 and R$ 1,000 respectively.

The 1.0 turbo three-cylinder engine delivers 128 hp and 20.4 kgfm of torque. The High trim includes 17-inch alloy wheels, a 10.25-inch digital dashboard, a rearview camera, and LED ambient lighting. The Comfort trim features a 10.1-inch VW Play multimedia system and adaptive cruise control.
