Finally a vehicle has been designed to take you off the beaten track, yet still provide the look and luxury to which you are accustomed - the big brother of Volkswagen's unique portfolio, the Touareg; specifically engineered to be an off-road specialist, yet maintain that smooth Volkswagen experience that is renowned the world over.
The Touareg driver is either attracting envious glances from onlookers with the shell's arrow-like contours, and trademark stylised engine hood that has been in the Volkswagen family heritage since the Phaeton; or they are lost in the soft functional luxury of the sedan-inspired interiors. No matter what terrain the Touareg is conquering, once inside you are perpetually embraced by the silky interior, and an acoustically-isolated second frame, which keeps you in a low-noise capsule of comfort that accompanies you wherever you go. And with a 1,570-litre volume you're free to roam as far and wide as you desire.
With you, you will take a host of features to ensure exactly the kind of ride you had hoped for. The 18-inch alloy wheels will keep you rolling with unrivalled stability and style, while dual sun visors will allow you to create the perfectly illuminated driving conditions, and a friendly built-in radio navigation system keeps you on your intended route at all times. Your passengers will also enjoy their own customised ride with electric seats that have integrated memories, and an automated sunroof with slide and tilt capabilities. Your job as driver will be made more care-free than ever with paddle shift tiptronic gears, telescoping steering column, keyless entry systems and state-of the-art Start button to get you going.
Gone are the days when you had to choose which car to take on which journey. The Touareg offers a multi-functional drive that can take you from flat road tripping up a mountain and back again, all the while keeping you in the soothing surrounds that Volkswagen is famed for.
