View of the Innovision Cockpit in the VW Touareg

Innovision Cockpit

^{*Optional on V6, standard on V6S R-Line.}

4-Corner Air Suspension*
For responsive steering and stable cornering. The 4-corner air suspension reduces lateral tilt and the tendency to understeer. The result? Amazingly dynamic driving characteristics.

Performance

All-wheel steering

Greater stability and manoeuvrability in one, thanks to all-wheel steering.

A smaller turning circle is possible when the rear wheels steer as well as the front wheels. On request, you can now also use this technique with the Touareg, which makes the vehicle hugely manoeuvrable and improves its steering stability. Furthermore when travelling faster than 50kmh the rear wheels also steer to help with cornering.*

^{*Standard on V6S R-Line.}

Air suspension

Always on a high.

And to ensure that there’s no damper on your driving enjoyment, you can also equip the Touareg with comfortable air suspension if required. It adapts the height of the body to all terrains. *

^{*Standard on V6S R-Line.}

Night Vision

Letting you see what is hiding in the darkness.

You’ve probably seen night vision systems in spy films. Now you’ve got one in your car. The beams of the optional night vision system in the Touareg generate a thermal image of your surroundings, including people and animals, in your cockpit.*

^{*Optional on V6 and V6S R-Line.}

Proactive occupant protection system

That way you are protected from all sides.

Proactive occupant protection system can secure you from all sides to protect you and your passengers. If the system identifies a risk of collision, it automatically triggers protection measures, including belt tightening, moving seats into an upright position and closing all windows and the tilting panoramic sunroof. All within the system limits.

3.0L turbo TDI engine

The power to take you places

The Touareg has been built to be driven and enjoyed. It features a 3.0L turbocharged TDI engine capable of providing an impressive 170-210kW of power and 500-600Nm of torque.

48-Volt Active Roll Stabilisation system

Responsive steering, stable cornering

Active stabilisers on the front and rear axle reduce the lateral tilt when cornering. They are electromechanical rather than hydraulic. The Touareg thus responds sensitively to steering, even at low speeds. The optional system prevents understeer during more dynamic cornering: the front wheels push the vehicle less forcefully into the outer edge of the bend.

Safety

Traffic Jam Assist

Traffic? Let the Touareg take charge

Assistance in stop-and-go traffic. The Traffic Jam Assist relieves pressure on the driver in stop-and-go traffic, helping to avoid accidents on slow-moving traffic.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

Park Assist

Parking with finesse

Park Assist manoeuvres you elegantly into your parking space. All you have to do is operate the accelerator and brake, while the system takes care of the rest, within the limits of the system.

Area View

Coming out of a tight parking space, manoeuvring in impassable terrain or attaching a trailer: there are many situations where a driver might need an extra pair of eyes. With Area View, you’ve found them: four cameras monitor the area around the vehicle and supply useful views on the infotainment system screen. Almost like magic: coupling all the cameras helps the system create a bird’s eye view – and you've got the full view from above, of the car and its surroundings.
^{*Standard on V6S R-Line.}

Rear View

The Rear View camera system gives you a clear view during reversing. The area behind the vehicle that is captured by the camera is shown on the display of your infotainment system. The system also adds helpful lines that make it easier to correctly estimate the distance.
