Touareg R

Archive

Elegant, first class and with superior propulsion.
The Touareg is Volkswagen’s flagship model and the Touareg R is at the top of this model series – with an impressive plug-in hybrid drive. Its components: a V6 TSI engine with a capacity of 3.0 litres, an electric drive motor in the housing of the eight-speed automatic gearbox, and a battery located under the luggage compartment with a net energy capacity of 14.3 kWh. In E-MODE, the large all-wheel drive SUV has a range of up to 47 kilometres (WLTP) and is practically silent. In Hybrid mode, its system power of 340 kW (462 PS) and system torque of 700 Nm ensure unrivalled agility with noticeable power reserves. The Touareg R therefore copes masterfully with any scenario thanks to a maximum trailer weight of 3.5 tonnes and all-wheel drive. Its character is additionally underlined by the sporty and luxurious standard equipment, including leather package, wheel sizes up to 22 inches, tilting and sliding panoramic sunroof, IQ.LIGHT LED matrix headlights and first-class assist systems.

    Car and smartphone merge into one: Touareg now parks by remote control

    The Touareg now drives into and out of parking spaces fully automatically. Virtually by remote control – from outside the vehicle using a smartphone. With the new Park Assist with remote control assist system. The typical situation: a multi-storey car park at the airport, for example. Just before the flight is due to leave. Narrow parking spaces. And that means stopping the car in the driving lane, unloading the luggage from the luggage compartment, getting in again, manoeuvring the car into the tight space, and finally squeezing yourself out of the car. Stress. Park Assist with remote control now takes over this job in the Touareg. With no stress at all.

The specified fuel consumption and emission data are determined in accordance with the measurement procedures prescribed by law. 1 January 2022, the WLTP test cycle completely replaced the NEDC test cycle and therefore no NEDC values are available for new type approved vehicles after that date.

This information does not refer to a single vehicle and is not part of the offer but is only intended for comparison between different types of vehicles. Additional equipment and accessories (additional components, tyre formats, etc.) can alter relevant vehicle parameters such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics, affecting the vehicle's fuel consumption, power consumption, CO2 emissions and driving performance values in addition to weather and traffic conditions and individual driving behavior.

Due to more realistic testing conditions, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions measured according to WLTP will in many cases be higher than the values measured according to NEDC. As a result, the taxation of vehicles may change accordingly as of 1 September 2018. For further information on the differences between WLTP and NEDC, please visit www.volkswagen.de/wltp.

Further information on official fuel consumption data and official specific CO2 emissions for new passenger cars can be found in the "Guide to fuel economy, CO2 emissions and power consumption for new passenger car models", which is available free of charge from all sales dealerships and from DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, D-73760 Ostfildern, Germany and at www.dat.de/co2.
