The Touareg, Volkswagen’s premium SUV has received an update which includes new design elements and high-tech features.
Volkswagen has revamped the front end of the Touareg, giving the whole upper radiator grill an emphasis on vehicle width. Particularly striking are the new IQ. Light HD matrix headlights with three LED modules and three L-shaped LEDs for the daytime running lights, as well as the new illuminated centre horizontal strip that extends from both sides of the Volkswagen logo.
Another advantage of the new IQ. LIGHT HD matrix headlights are the glare-free main beam: this continuous main beam can permanently be left switched on outside of towns because the interactive LEDs make sure that the masking area for oncoming traffic and vehicles driving in front is more precise than ever before.
The standard equipment of the new Touareg has been enhanced. The standard voice control has also been improved. USB-C connections with a charging capacity of 45 watts (previously 15 watts) permit significantly faster charging of electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets or laptops.
The Touareg is equipped with several convenience and assistance systems as standard. In addition, an extensive range of optional systems is available. These include among others the following technologies:
• Travel Assist (assisted driving up to maximum speed)
• Area view camera (assistance with checking blind spots when parking)
• Night Vision (assistance for night drives)
The Volkswagen Touareg comes in two trims: the Elegance, and the R-Line and will be offered with the 3.0 TDI 190kW engine paired with an eight-speed automatic gearbox and 4Motion permanent all-wheel drive.
Prices are as follows:
3.0 V6 TDI 190kW (Elegance) – R1 457 900
3.0 V6 TDI 190kW (R-Line) – R1 763 900
