Volkswagen has recently introduced the highly anticipated all-new Touareg, a premium SUV that offers a range of impressive features and advancements. One of the notable highlights is the optional IQ.LIGHT HD matrix headlights, which provide a glare-free main beam.
These headlights utilize interactive LEDs to ensure precise masking for oncoming traffic and vehicles in front, allowing the main beam to be left on continuously outside of towns.
Exterior:
The new Touareg boasts a refreshed front and rear design, immediately catching attention on the road. The front fascia showcases a redesigned radiator grille, headlights, and front apron, while the rear end features a sleek continuous horizontal LED strip for the taillight clusters. Additionally, a notable inclusion is the illuminated Volkswagen logo in red, a feature previously limited to markets such as China and the US but now introduced in Germany for the first time.
Performance:
Volkswagen has also made significant enhancements to the suspension of the Touareg. The SUV now comes standard with a roof load sensor integrated closely with the suspension electronics. This innovative sensor detects roof loads and enables the control system, including the Electronic Stability Control (ESC), to intervene earlier, ensuring enhanced driving stability.
Without a roof load, the system enables even sportier performance. Furthermore, depending on the version, the Touareg offers cutting-edge suspension technologies such as active roll compensation (adaptive running gear) and all-wheel steering, further elevating the driving dynamics of this premium SUV.

Alongside a turbocharged petrol engine, customers can select from two turbodiesel engines and two plug-in hybrids. All engines are highly efficient and come paired with an 8-speed automatic gearbox and the 4MOTION permanent all-wheel drive system as standard, ensuring optimal performance and control.

Touareg R eHybrid stands as the ultimate embodiment of performance and luxury from Volkswagen R. As the flagship model in the Touareg lineup, it combines a potent V6 petrol engine with an electric motor, resulting in an impressive system output of 340 kW (462 PS).
