This Is Russia’s 2021 VW Teramont, Aka The Atlas In America, And It Has Just Been Updated

Volkswagen has just pulled the wraps off the 2021 Teramont for the Russian market, where it will go on sale this spring.

Visually, it looks identical to the Atlas sold in America, sporting the same front and rear bumpers, air intakes, exhaust trim and so on, with the only exception being that it displays the ‘Teramont’ lettering in the middle of the tailgate instead of ‘Atlas’.

The cockpit is also the same and includes all the amenities expected from a large SUV, from the infotainment system with smartphone integration, to the digital instrument cluster, multi-zone automatic climate control, optional leather upholstery, sunroof etc., joined by the generous storage spaces and very decent room for backseat occupants.
