At the beginning of February we found out that in China had been updated Volkswagen Tharu. Why were we interested? Because he is about the Asian brother of the TaosSUV that the German brand produces in Mexico.
At that time, we reviewed the news and inquired about whether, in the not too distant future, they could reach this part of the world. It turns out that in the last hours Volkswagen registered in Brazil the one that would be the mid life renewal of the Taos. Is it very similar to the Tharu? We see it below.

The patent, made in the National Institute of Intellectual Property of Brazilshows us a vehicle that is identical to the renewed Tharu. Its differences with the current Taos are:

- LED strip that not only goes through the grill, but also the headlights
- Fenders with chrome finish that ends in the shape of a “C” on the sides
- Larger lower air intake
Back
- Optical group joined by a black ceiling light (along Nivus and T-Cross)
- redesigned optics
- Fascias with chrome finish that mimics the view to the front

Above left, the interior of the Taos. Bottom right, that of the Tharu.
The Tharu unveiled in China presents an interior that differs from that seen in Taos, mainly because of the screen for multimedia system, larger and floating style. Part of the design of the board It is also different, as can be seen in the side air conditioning outlets, something similar to what happens with the keypad on the center console. For now, it is unknown if these modifications will also arrive in this part of the world.

VW Tharu.
If the new Taos is ready, it will surely debut towards the end of this year or the other. Perhaps we will see it in Mexico by 2024 or early 2025, to allow time for these modifications to be implemented at the Puebla plant.
