The strongest interpretation of brand premium in the car industry is the Volkswagen Group, the same platform on volkswagen, Audi and Porsche can get a very obvious price difference, today I bring you this SUV and Cayenne and Q7 with the same platform, but its price is much cheaper, many people see it as an undervalued player, it is the Volkswagen Touareg.
A more youthful and sporty look
In fact, leaving aside the brand itself, volkswagen Touareg is definitely a very powerful model, the front part of the car uses a large number of horizontal elements, the area of the larger trapezoidal grille internal trim is straight and calm, LED headlights and the middle net are integrated, high-end models also have a matrix light group, the components on both sides of the front of the car are more sporty, and the interior also uses horizontal black trim decoration, which is more youthful and sporty than the front part of the previous generation model.
The shape of the side of the car is more low and solid than the old model, the clear waist line bend angle outlines the sense of strength of the body, the slender window line edge is outlined with chrome trim, and there is a certain slight drop near the rear, making the overall visual effect more lean, and the metal trim under the door is also used to decorate, which is no weaker than Cayenne and Q7 from the momentum of the side.
The line of the rear of the car is more rounded than the front and body, the shape of the taillights is a familiar public style, although it does not use the design of the through-lamp strip, but the combination of the lights between the car logo and letters, still has a high degree of recognition, the lower bump has a certain degree of convexity, with the surrounding of the metal trim, there is a strong three-dimensional sense, the exhaust is double out of the real tailpipe, but if the size is larger, there is a stronger momentum.
Don't stick to the interior design of the past
Compared with the same in the past of Volkswagen models, Touareg boldly stepped out of the new style, the center console adopts an asymmetrical design, the central control area is obviously inclined to the driver's side, the 15-inch oversized central control integrates most of the adjustment functions in the car, so that the number of physical buttons in the car is greatly reduced, the central control is decorated with a wood grain trim strip that runs through the bend, and the right side is designed for the air outlet, with the atmosphere lights, so that the texture in the car is significantly improved.
15-inch large screen in touch time has the mainstream level of reaction speed, and each function module is clearly divided, even if the driving process can quickly find the corresponding operation buttons, while the left side of the screen is also equipped with a row of commonly used shortcut functions, the car machine not only supports conventional multimedia and navigation functions, but also to achieve CarPlay and CarLife mapping function, 12.3-inch instrument can realistically rich driving information, while supporting different themes to choose from, with a very clear and practical display effect.
Comfortable and spacious ride
Touareg has a size of 4878* 1984 * 1686mm, wheelbase of 2899mm, although not the largest SUV in the family, but the interior space is enough to meet the needs of daily riding, the seat is optimized, the use of ergoComfort ergonomic seat, not only can support multi-directional adjustment, but also with heating ventilation function, while the seat interior is thick and soft, can bring passengers strong wrapping and support. The rear space is moderate, providing 1 punch and 4 fingers of knee space and 4 fingers of headroom for 176cm passengers, and the huge panoramic sunroof can also alleviate the depressive feeling in the car, bringing better lighting and transparency.
The front and rear compartments of the car provide sufficient storage space, the front armrest box and glove box are larger, which can accommodate the daily mineral water bottle vertically, and there is also a net pocket on the side of the co-driver in the central control area to facilitate passengers to place their belongings. The trunk opening is large and the interior is orderly, although the distance between the platform and the ground is high, it can be adjusted by the high and low buttons of the suspension in the car, a very user-friendly configuration, under normal conditions, the trunk can easily accommodate 20/24/28 inches of luggage, and there is a huge amount of room left to place other luggage.
Multiple power combinations
The Touareg offers both 2.0T and 3.0T power, with a maximum power of 180kW (245Ps)/250kW (340Ps) and a maximum torque of 370N·m/450N·m, both matching 8AT and 4WD systems. The calm throttle adjustment will not give too sensitive performance in the initial stage, but the overall power output is linear, and it will not bring an abrupt feeling, even if the 2.0T power drive this car is not strenuous, in the daily road conditions will not feel low torsion is insufficient, 8AT for the driver's intention to predict accurately, maintain excellent smoothness at the same time can also complete the shift action happily.
All touareg series use the front and rear multi-link suspension structure, and the standard air suspension, which can adjust the softness and height, which is very practical in off-road sections, dealing with some bumpy sections is extremely calm, steering at low speeds will have a clear sense of dampness, not blindly light, while the directivity is extremely accurate.
Write at the end
Leaving aside the 2.0T model, under the same 3.0T configuration, Touareg does have the product strength of the Q7 and Cayenne, and the slightly weaker brand influence brings lower prices and more perfect configurations, if you pay more attention to the comprehensive strength of a car, then this undervalued Touareg is a very good choice.
