What is the Volkswagen Viloran?
The Viloran is a large MPV developed for Volkswagen’s China range. Launched in 2020, it has a seven-seat cabin and sliding side doors, features that make it well suited to carrying passengers. Its second row has captain’s chairs, giving the interior a more lounge-like feel than a conventional van.
The Viloran was a new addition to SAIC-Volkswagen’s range, broadening the joint venture’s line-up with a large people carrier.

The first generation, identified with the MQB A2 platform, is listed from 2020 onward. European registration versions use 2.0-litre petrol engines producing 137 kW (186 PS) or 162 kW (220 PS).
European registrations
EEA registration figures cover 2020–2023 and record five petrol versions, with 101 cars registered in total. The most registered versions were the 162 kW model in 2021, with 30 registrations, and the 137 kW models in 2021 and 2020, with 26 and 16 registrations respectively.
The Viloran was developed for regional markets, with China as its principal market. Registration counts are not fuel-consumption or CO₂ test results. Where consumption figures are compared across markets, the procedures differ: Europe uses WLTP or, for older vehicles, NEDC; the USA uses EPA testing, and Canada uses the 5-cycle procedure.
