New Volkswagen Touareg review

Volkswagen Touareg

Introduction

The Volkswagen Touareg is a solid choice if you’re looking for an off-road capable vehicle in the compact SUV class. With its all-wheel drive, V8 engine and body-on-frame architecture, it’s one of the most capable SUVs on sale today.

Volkswagen has revived the Touareg name on a new SUV that’s built on a version of its modular MQB platform.

The Volkswagen Touareg is a new SUV that’s built on a version of the MQB platform. The VW Touareg is an off-road capable vehicle that can be equipped with all-wheel drive, which makes it more versatile than most compact SUVs.

The car has a 4Motion all-wheel drive system with active torque vectoring and electronic locking rear differential for improved traction in slippery conditions. It comes standard with air suspension as well as adaptive air suspension for comfort and better handling during hard braking or acceleration (when you need to hit those hills).

The Volkswagen Touareg’s interior looks like it could have been lifted from another decade–but don’t let that fool you into thinking this thing won’t perform as well today as its predecessors did back in their day!

The Touareg name is being retired, however, as it will be replaced by the Atlas (not to be confused with the Atlas from Ford and Mercedes-Benz).

The new model is expected to feature a more traditional look and feel than its predecessor despite sharing many of its mechanical components. It’s also expected that Volkswagen will continue offering an all-electric version of their SUV in 2020.

The Touareg will make its debut this fall at the Paris Motor Show. The new vehicle is a successor to the Touareg, which was unveiled in 1999 and built until 2004. It’s also a successor to the V10 SUV, which was launched in 2006 but ended production just three years later.

The new Touareg will be powered by two turbocharged engines–a 3 liter diesel engine with 300 horsepower and 500 Nm torque (400 pound-feet) or an inline 5 liter gasoline engine that produces 370 horsepower and 600 Nm of torque (520 pound-feet). Both engines are designed for long life cycles; they’re expected to last around 100 000 km before needing replacement parts such as pistons and rings.

What’s New?

Your new Touareg is now called the Arteon, which means “Artwork” in Latin. You can tell that Volkswagen wanted to make sure this car was a true sedan, with a longer wheelbase and slightly more upright seating position than its predecessor. The interior is also very different from previous Touaregs–the new models have sportier lines, especially on the dash and steering wheel.

It’s also worth noting that you’ll find an extra 1.6-liter engine underhood; it produces 181 horsepower while mated to either an eight-speed automatic transmission or six-speed manual gearbox (you can configure your own if desired). This is not only more powerful than before but also smoother as well!

The body-on-frame architecture is one thing that hasn’t changed much since the original model was launched in 1997.

The body-on-frame architecture is one thing that hasn’t changed much since the original model was launched in 1997. The Touareg uses a front-engine layout with a longitudinal engine and transmission tunnel mounted to the front of the vehicle.

The suspension consists of MacPherson strut struts up front and multilinked trailing links at all four corners. Out back, there’s a five-link independent suspension with coil springs over gas shocks; this setup provides good ride quality but it can be stiff if you’re used to softer suspensions from other cars in this class or higher end luxury SUVs such as BMW X5 or Mercedes GLS63 AMG (if they ever decide to offer an equivalent).

The brakes are powerful–they use brakediscs at all four wheels–with ABS as standard equipment on all models except diesel models which don’t receive ABS because these engines don’t need it due to their increased horsepower ratings over naturally aspirated engines like those found in diesel Touaregs!

Other than the above, there’s nothing new to the VW Touareg.

The Volkswagen Touareg is a solid choice if you’re looking for an off-road capable vehicle in the compact SUV class. It has plenty of space, power and technology to make it comfortable and fun on the road as well. The Touareg cabin is also very refined, with high quality materials like leather seats and wood trim throughout. There’s nothing new here; it’s just another excellent VW product that we love!

Conclusion

Overall, the Volkswagen Touareg is a solid option if you’re looking for an off-road capable vehicle in the compact SUV class. It’s not quite as good as some of its competitors, but it’s still better than many other cars in this category. The new model promises to offer more refinement than before and should be even better when compared next year with an updated model.
