Attractive savings and special leasing rates for the self-employed: the new Touareg DRIVE

  • Special Touareg DRIVE model includes most popular extras as standard
  • Features such as ACC, air suspension, towing bracket and Trailer Assist without surcharge
  • Touareg DRIVE equipment specifically tailored to needs of SUV drivers

Volkswagen launches the new special model Touareg DRIVE onto the market. This all-wheel drive, premium-segment all-rounder offers the most popular optional equipment of this product line as standard - including an electric foldable mounting bracket, trailer manoeuvring system (Trailer Assist), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), offroad package and air suspension. Touareg DRIVE will be launched with a price advantage of around EUR 7,900*. In addition, there will be attractive leasing rates, especially for the self-employed.

The equipment of the special model has been tailored to the scenarios encountered by Touareg drivers, who often use the comfortable car for both business and private long-distance trips. Which is why they especially appreciate comfort and safety features such as the predictive ACC, as well as the Front Assist system with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection. Just as important: the Touareg offers the variable interior of a spacious five-door vehicle (luggage compartment has a volume of up to 1,800 litres). Another interesting fact: 75 percent of all Touareg were ordered with an electric swivelling towing bracket. And with good reason since the SUV can cope with maximum trailer weights of up to 3,500 kilos (braked). This wide variety of uses is reflected in the extensive standard equipment of the new Touareg DRIVE. Specifically, this includes:

  • Trailer manoeuvring system (Trailer Assist)
  • Electric folding mounting bracket
  • App Connect and Volkswagen Media Control for smartphones and tablets
  • Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with speed limiter
  • Connectivity package including mobile phone interface
  • Silver anodised roof railing
  • Luggage management system
  • Boot lid with electric opening and closing
  • Vienna leather package including seat heating and lumbar support on the front seats
  • Light and Sight package (including automatically dimming and foldable exterior mirrors and automatic headlights)
  • Air suspension with automatic self-levelling suspension
  • Multi-function steering wheel in leather, heatable and with paddles
  • Offroad package (including offroad programme, 90-litre tank, engine-skid plate)

The Touareg DRIVE is coming onto the market in three different engine versions: two V6 turbo-charged diesel engines and one V6 turbo-charged petrol engine (TSI) Pricing overview:

Touareg DRIVE V6 TDI with 170 kW / 231 PS: EUR 64,140

The specified fuel consumption and emission data have been determined according to the measurement procedures prescribed by law. Since 1st September 2017, certain new vehicles are already being type-approved according to the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), a more realistic test procedure for measuring fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Starting on September 1st 2018, the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) will be replaced by the WLTP in stages. Owing to the more realistic test conditions, the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions measured according to the WLTP will, in many cases, be higher than those measured according to the NEDC. For further information on the differences between the WLTP and NEDC, please visit www.volkswagen.de/wltp.

We are currently still required by law to state the NEDC figures. In the case of new vehicles which have been type-approved according to the WLTP, the NEDC figures are derived from the WLTP data. It is possible to specify the WLTP figures voluntarily in addition until such time as this is required by law. In cases where the NEDC figures are specified as value ranges, these do not refer to a particular individual vehicle and do not constitute part of the sales offering. They are intended exclusively as a means of comparison between different vehicle types. Additional equipment and accessories (e.g. add-on parts, different tyre formats, etc.) may change the relevant vehicle parameters, such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics, and, in conjunction with weather and traffic conditions and individual driving style, may affect fuel consumption, electrical power consumption, CO2 emissions and the performance figures for the vehicle.

Further information on official fuel consumption figures and the official specific CO2 emissions of new passenger cars can be found in the “Guide on the fuel economy, CO2 emissions and power consumption of new passenger car models”, which is available free of charge at all sales dealerships and from DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, D-73760 Ostfildern, Germany and at www.dat.de.
