The Touareg
Book Test DriveLuxury as standard

Driving experience
Air suspension
Stay level
In the Touareg, you decide for yourself what you want your driving experience to be like. Depending on the driving mode, the optional air suspension lifts the vehicle to a ground clearance of 258 mm. The rear of the vehicle can also be lowered by 50 mm for convenient loading or unloading.
Off-road Package
Excel, even on difficult terrain
Experience the qualities of the Touareg off-road with the optional Offroad bundle. Alongside seven standard driving modes, GRAVEL and SAND can also be used to adapt the engine and gear settings to the conditions. The following features also ensure that the Touareg excels off-road:
- Greater protection for the radiator, battery, underbody and fuel tank
- The larger tank holds up to 90 litres of fuel
- Two towing eyes for other vehicles are provided
- The standard 4MOTION all-wheel drive moves each wheel independently
Active roll stabilisation
Responsive steering, stable cornering
Active stabilisers1 on the front and rear axle reduce the lateral tilt when cornering. They are electromechanical rather than hydraulic. The Touareg thus responds sensitively to steering, even at low speeds. The optional system prevents understeer during more dynamic cornering: the front wheels push the vehicle less forcefully into the outer edge of the bend.

Design
IQ.Light - matrix LED headlights
Dynamic look with no dazzling
Whether you are driving in the city, on country roads in the evening or on the motorway in bad weather: the IQ.LIGHT – matrix LED headlights, standard on Touareg Design, adapt the intensity and range of the LED segments to the changing traffic situations. ‘Dynamic Light Assist’ ensures that other road users are not dazzled, even with the active main beam. Roads are better illuminated and distracting reflections from lit-up signs are prevented. Meaning that your Touareg can really shine in the best sense of the word.
Exterior design
Perfect outline
With its visual highlights, the Touareg is a wonderfully expressive sight, even for an SUV:
- Chrome fins across the entire front
- LED headlights with LED daytime running lights
- Gloss black roof spoiler
- Tail light clusters with LED technology and dynamic turn signals1

The sky’s the limit

A little extra fresh air? At the touch of a button, the front half of the roof can be put up or slid entirely over the rear half.

Introducing the new
Touareg eHybrid PHEV
Join forces.
Save fuel.
The Touareg eHybrid PHEV is a plug-in hybrid with an electric motor and TSI petrol engine. For added efficiency, driving starts in the locally CO2-neutral and low-noise e-mode, in which only the electric motor is running. Then the hybrid mode is activated via the driving profile selection in order to combine the combustion engine and electric motor. Let your Touareg optimally coordinate the two engines and drive efficiently over longer distances.
