Between the Highway and Himalayas
A 6-speed automatic gearbox transmits controlled engine power to the
wheels.The automatic transmission with a built-in intelligent dynamic
shift programme recognises your gearshift pattern and adapts itself
accordingly.
On mountainous terrain
You can easily handle extreme off-road situations.
On the highway
You can get to know the sporty side of the suspension on level asphalt
and fast journeys. This not only reduces undulations but also improves
road-holding. Precise suspension geometry further optimises cornering
behavior.
Across tough terrain
4XMOTION permanent all-wheel drive assures outstanding reliable traction
and active safety on virtually every surface by distributing engine
power to all four wheels as required, depending on the situation.
4XMOTION drive therefore significantly improves handling, agility and
steering behavior resulting in top level dynamics and driving enjoyment.
Wading depth: up to 500 mm
Wading depth: up to 500 mm. You can cross water safely and comfortably
in the Touareg. Drive into the water in the direction of flow and then
at a constant speed to the opposite bank.
Hill-climbing ability: 45 degree
You can cope with even extremely steep slopes in the Touareg. Check hat
lies behind the crest beforehand – after all, when driving at very teep
angles, you look directly into the sky.
Side slope angle: 35 degree
The Touareg drives safely even on sloping roads. Should it slant too
far, do not brake but steer the vehicle quickly into the fall line. In
this way, it is possible to bring it safely under control.
Ramp angle: 27 degree
A Touareg overcomes large fallen tree trunks, rocks or hills without the
under-body making contact with the ground. Watch out for recesses or
soft subsoil behind obstacles that could influence ground clearance
unfavorably.
