The Touareg has much to offer – a luxurious SUV

Innovision Cockpit

The universal control centre with no switches. The Innovision cockpit is one of the highlights of the Touareg. The wide, screen with brilliant display offers a uniquely clear layout for the driver and an intuitive operating concept.

4-Corner Air Suspension

For responsive steering and stable cornering. The 4-corner air suspension reduces lateral tilt and the tendency to understeer. The result? Amazingly dynamic driving characteristics.

Touareg V8 Performance

Engine System Suspension Drive Steering

4.0L V8 TDI Engine

The Touareg has been built to be driven and enjoyed. It features a 4.0L turbocharged diesel engine capable of providing an impressive 310 kW of power and a colossal 900 Nm of torque. This is the most powerful diesel engine ever to be fitted to a Volkswagen.

48-Volt Active Roll Stabilisation system

Responsive steering, stable cornering

Active stabilisers 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.
*Standard on V8 R-Line First Edition. Optional on V8 R-Line.

Seven distinct ways to drive

Don’t let the new Touareg’s exterior beauty fool you, at its heart lies a rugged all-terrain vehicle

Driving Profile Selection with 4MOTION Active Control gives you the option of Eco, Comfort, Normal, Sport, Offroad, Snow or your own Individual driving profiles so you’re in complete control.

All-wheel steering

Greater stability and manoeuvrability in one, thanks to all-wheel steering

A smaller turning circle is possible when the rear wheels steer as well as the front wheels. On request, you can now also use this technique with the Touareg, which makes the vehicle hugely manoeuvrable and improves its steering stability. Furthermore, when travelling faster than 50kmh the rear wheels also steer to help with cornering.*

*Standard on V8 R-Line First Edition. Optional on V8 R-Line (part of the 48-Volt Active Roll stabilisation package)

Innovision Cockpit

The control centre with no switches

The digital instrument cluster and the screen of the infotainment system form one curved glass surface: the Innovision Cockpit. The Innovation Cockpit is standard on the V8 Touareg.

Ambient Lighting

Set the mood, 30 different colours

Flood the interior in your favourite colour.

There’s always a particularly comfortable ambiance in the Touareg when it gets dark, you have the option of 30 different colour options to choose from.

Area View

Coming out of a tight parking space, manoeuvring in impassable terrain or attaching a trailer: there are many situations where a driver might need an extra pair of eyes. With Area View, you’ve found them: four cameras monitor the area around the vehicle and supply useful views on the infotainment system screen. Almost like magic: coupling all the cameras help the system create a bird’s eye view – and you’ve got the full view from above, of the car and its surroundings.

Night Vision

Letting you see what is hiding in the darkness.

You’ve probably seen night vision systems in spy films. Now you’ve got one in your car. The beams of the optional night vision system in the Touareg generate a thermal image of your surroundings, including people and animals, in your cockpit.*

*Optional on Touareg V8 R-Line.

Proactive occupant protection system*

That way you are protected from all sides.

Proactive occupant protection system can secure you from all sides to protect you and your passengers. If the system identifies a risk of collision, it automatically triggers protection measures, including belt tightening, moving seats into an upright position and closing all windows and the tilting panoramic sunroof. All within the system limits.

*Works within the system limit.

Safety

Traffic ACC Cross

Traffic Jam Assist

Traffic? Let the Touareg take charge

Assistance in stop-and-go traffic. The Traffic Jam Assist relieves pressure on the driver in stop-and-go traffic, helping to avoid accidents on slow-moving traffic.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

Keeping you safe from a distance

The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with control is by far one of the most useful driver assistance systems. You simply specify your maximum speed and the system helps you to adhere to it and not exceed it, within limits of the system. Also, a minimum distance is automatically maintained between you and the vehicle in front, within the limits of the system.

Front Cross Traffic Assist

Because you can’t see around corners

Blind exits and intersections with poor visibility force drivers to “nose out” slowly. The Front Cross Intersection Assist uses radar technology to help, as it were, to look around corners, within the limits of the system. The system therefore helps to detect crossing vehicles or pedestrians earlier.

Light up your life… and Touareg

LED Matrix headlights*

Whether you are driving in the city, on country roads in the evening or on the motorway in bad weather: the Matrix LED headlights 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.

*Standard on the V8 range
