A few days ago, Volkswagen officially launched the 2022 Touareg, the new car launched a total of 4 models, the price range of 651,800-84.58 million yuan, the starting threshold compared with the old model increased by 60,000 yuan, mainly the cancellation of the guidance price of 591,800 yuan "2.0TSI Pilot Special Edition".
As an annual remodeled model, the new car is mainly adjusted for the configuration, of which the 2022 2.0TSI Ruishang version has increased the parallel assist, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist system and reversing side warning system compared with the old model, and the entire series has cancelled the wireless charging function of the mobile phone, which may be caused by insufficient chips, and the price has risen from the previous 629,800 yuan to 651,800 yuan, an increase of 22,000 yuan.
The 3.0TSI RuiXiang Edition and Ruizun Edition have newly added the mobile phone remote control parking function, and the owner can remotely control the vehicle in or out of the parking space on the mobile phone within about 2 meters of the "Zhongxingjia" car networking service, and also add the Type-c charging interface. Among them, the Ruixiang edition rose from the previous 718,800 yuan to 743,800 yuan, an increase in price of 25,000 yuan; the Ruizun version rose from the previous 821,800 yuan to 845,800 yuan, an increase of 24,000 yuan.
From the perspective of increased configuration, this price increase is really not kind, its current model discount of nearly 100,000 yuan, sales are not very ideal, Volkswagen this wave of reverse operation does not know whether to follow up to increase the discount to pave the way, you can look forward to it.
In terms of appearance, the design of the new car is consistent with the current model, and it is still the Volkswagen family design style, which is not significantly different from other models in the family. The difference is that the new car is equipped with an R-Line sporty appearance kit, including R-Line style bumpers and body color bracketing, etc., which looks more sporty overall.
In terms of body size, although touareg is Volkswagen's flagship SUV, it is not the largest in the family, with a length, width and height of 4878/1984/1686mm and a wheelbase of 2899mm. There is a certain gap with the Audi Q7, BMW X5 and Mercedes-Benz GLE, which are also medium and large SUVs, so they are slightly lacking in the aura.
In terms of interior, the overall layout design is also the same as the current model, the new car adopts a digital cockpit, equipped with a 15-inch embedded central control multimedia display, a 12-inch full LCD dashboard, a HUD head-up display and a yacht-style electronic barrier bar, which is excellent in science and technology. In addition, the new car is equipped with 30-color mood lights, leather wrapping in many places, and piano paint panels, which can highlight the sense of luxury at this price point.
In terms of configuration, the new car is equipped with advanced features such as 10 airbags, air suspension with suspension soft/high and low adjustment, 12-way electric seat adjustment, heating/ventilation/memory of the main and auxiliary seats, induction trunk, and five driving mode switching.
In addition, the high-end model is equipped with L2 level assisted driving, integrated active steering system, night vision system, off-road kit, Dynaudio Tanner advanced sound system, matrix LED headlights and four-wheel drive individual temperature-controlled automatic air conditioning. At the same price, these are touts advantages.
In terms of power, the entry-level Ruishang model is equipped with a 2.0TSI four-cylinder engine, with a maximum power of 245 horsepower, a peak torque of 370 Nm, an official acceleration time of 0-100 km / h of 6.8 seconds, and a comprehensive fuel consumption of 8.68 liters / 100 km under WLCT conditions.
The Ruixiang and Ruizun editions are equipped with 3.0TSI V6 engines, with a maximum power of 340 hp, a peak torque of 450 Nm, an official acceleration time of 0-100 km/h of 5.9 seconds, and a comprehensive fuel consumption of 10.04 l/100 km under WLCT conditions. In terms of drivetrain, the entire range matches ZF's 8-speed automatic manual transmission and is equipped with a full-time all-wheel drive system with Tolson differential, which is the biggest selling point of Touareg.
At present, in addition to the Audi Q7, BMW X5 and Mercedes-Benz GLE, volkswagen Touareg's competitors also have Volvo XC90, Lincoln Aviator and other models, and Touareg compared to them, the most obvious shortcoming is the brand power is not good, of course, for special groups, may also be an advantage, low-key luxury is not ostentatious. In addition, Touareg is also known as a symbol of wealth and taste, after all, not everyone is willing to spend more than 600,000 yuan to buy a Volkswagen SUV.
