Beyond Boundaries
The luxurious Touareg, offers even more for those seeking a premium 4x4. Sporting a striking restyle, including updated headlights, distinctive grille, front wings and bumper, the Touareg combines class-leading levels of on-road comfort and performance with outstanding off-road capabilities. With a host of all-terrain solutions built into the chassis, the Touareg is the best companion to answer the call of the wild in absolute comfort and safety.

Developed by Volkswagen, the patented ABSplus system in the Touareg is a technical innovation. It detects loose surfaces such as sand or gravel and, by briefly locking the wheels in a controlled manner, reduces the braking distance by up to 20%. The electronic stabilisation program (ESP) also has enhanced functions. For instance, rollover protection has been increased and, as a preventative measure, braking pressure builds up as soon as the foot is removed from the accelerator.

Luxurious Interior
You will be impressed by the clearly arranged cockpit and its comprehensive functions. Each control and display is placed so that it makes driving more comfortable and convenient and not more complicated. The full leather package features fine workmanship and adds a touch of luxury to the interior with leather trim on the instrument panel, centre console and door panel trim. (Sun blinds for the rear side are optional - only in conjuction with Napa leather trim).
