Touareg unlimited
Whether you're bound for the ski slopes this winter, heading off the beaten track, or towing a heavy load, you can depend on the Touareg, whatever the weather. Show this supremely capable 4x4 the trickiest terrain, whether it's snow and ice, deep water, steep slopes or muddy ground, and it comes into its own.
Advanced technologies include 4XMOTION four-wheel drive which sends power to the wheels that need it most, high and low gear ratios and hill start and descent assist features.
Together with its high ground clearance, this means the Touareg can climb slippery slopes of 45 degrees and across hills of 35 degrees - and bring you safely down again. It pulls loads of up to 3.5 tonnes with ease and can drive through water up to half a metre deep (increasing to 580mm for models with optional air suspension). In other words, it's a genuinely talented off-roader.
Head-turning style
And it does all this in eye-catching style and luxurious comfort. A striking redesign gives the Touareg an imposing presence with its distinctive chrome grille, sleek headlights and exhausts at the rear. While the light, roomy cabin with its commanding driving position lets you relax and enjoy your journey. The Touareg is available in 3 trims, including the top-of-the-range Altitude with stunning sports bodykit featuring twin chrome sports exhausts and tinted windows.
Enhanced safety
Safer than ever before, the Touareg is equipped with Volkswagen's advanced ABSPlus braking system, which cuts braking distances by up to 20 per cent on rough surfaces. Plus the latest Electronic Stabilisation Programme (ESP) which has Active Rollover Protection (ARP), rain brake support and understeer control logic for sharper cornering.
Exciting additions
An exciting addition is the new touchscreen DVD navigation system (standard on SE and Altitude and optional on the base trim), which offers fast, clear and up-to-date information to help you plan your journeys. This navigation system comes complete with 6CD auto changer with the option to connect to your IPOD and other multimedia devices. Speaking of which, the powerful new 620-watt, 10-speaker Dynaudio entertainment system, designed to fit with the sound dynamics of the cabin for top performance, is a great choice.
Powerful engines
The Touareg is offered with a choice of four advanced engines - one petrol and three diesels - including the mighty V10 TDI. A diesel particulate filter (DPF) for cleaner emissions is standard on all diesel engines apart from the 3-litre TDI (offered as an optional extra).
The verdict
If you want a 4x4 which offers luxury, space and great performance on the road with genuine capability off it, then the Touareg, from just £29,562 RRP, is superb value. Its striking restyle gives this premium SUV a commanding presence, while its impressive new technologies ensure an even safer and more rewarding drive.
