6. Driving & Comfort
Driving & Comfort Assessment
City Driving
Manual gearbox requires more effort in heavy traffic, but offers good control. Turning radius of 5.2m is reasonable for urban maneuvers. Good ground clearance for everyday Indian road conditions.
Highway Performance
Ride & Comfort
Torsion beam rear suspension handles most road imperfections adequately. Road and engine noise are noticeable, typical for this segment. 350L boot space is adequate for weekend trips.

Recent Owner Reviews
3 reviews"Tera India: I'm very excited to see Indian version launch and be a part of luxury fraternity. So that I can feel the elegance and sophistication of Volkswagen in Indian standard and with compact SUV segment. If I'm going to purchase this car, it should be a compact SUV segment which gives us a pocket friendly jab with elegance of Volkswagen legacy."
"Tera: Service and maintenance costs are a major deterrent. Even minor repairs cost a premium at authorized centers."
"Tera: The turbo lag on the 1.0 TSI is noticeable. Below 2000 RPM, the car feels quite lethargic."
