Volkswagen is among the last automakers to publish updated prices for its cars and trucks each month, but It’s closely watched as it consistently ranks among the top three sellers in the Argentinian market.
In January, the company led the market with 9,785 units registered, exceeding Toyota – a historical leader – by more than 1,000 units.
While the Polo is the entry-level model, the Tera, Volkswagen’s newest and smallest SUV (alongside the Nivus, T-Cross, and Taos), has become the most accessible and one of the best-selling vehicles since its introduction in 2025.
Starting at $36,755.250, the Tera is nearly $1 million less expensive than the Polo, with the top-of-the-line version priced at $46,747.750.
How many versions of the Tera SUV are offered?
The Tera is available in four versions with the following prices:
- Tera Trend MSI: $36,755.250 (January price: $36,391.350)
- Tera Comfort 170TSI: $41,561.750 (January price $41,150.250)
- Tera High 170TSI AT: $45,609.400 (January price $45,157.800)
- Tera Outfit 170TSI AT: $46,747.750 (January price $46,284.900)
Within the Volkswagen lineup, the Polo follows, with a price range from $37,567.500 to $54,626.650 for the sporty GTS model.
Tera Details
The Volkswagen Tera measures 4.15 meters in length – 7 cm longer than the Polo and 12 cm shorter than the Nivus – though it shares the same 2.56-meter wheelbase with both. The vehicle’s ground clearance is 18.5 centimeters.
The trunk offers a cargo capacity of 357 liters, a mid-range figure between the Polo’s 300 liters and the Nivus’s 415 liters.
The Tera is Volkswagen’s most affordable model.
Inside, the interior features some “piano black” trim and synthetic leather in the full version, a steering wheel with paddle shifters, a gear selector, and a digital dashboard.
A floating 10-inch touchscreen provides access to a multimedia system that allows for wireless mirroring of mobile devices, as well as control of the climate control system and various vehicle settings.
The vehicle also includes digital climate control, a wireless charger for mobile phones, and four USB-C ports (two front and two rear), along with various storage compartments in the door panels and center console.
The entry-level version is equipped with a 1.6 MSi naturally aspirated engine producing 110 hp, paired with a five-speed manual transmission. The other options feature the well-known 170 Tsi engine – a 1.0-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine with 101 hp and 170 Nm of torque – and a six-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission.
Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes just over 12 seconds, with a top speed exceeding 175 km/h.
In terms of safety, all Tera versions come standard with six airbags, ABS brakes, traction and stability control, seatbelt warning for all seats, dynamic closing, and fatigue detection, among other features. The Outfit version includes a package of driving assistance systems (ADAS), including blind spot detection, autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and lane keeping assist.
