Volkswagen Touareg
Archive

The new Touareg is the first Volkswagen with optional all-wheel steering. This system makes the Touareg one of the most agile large SUVs. Up to 37 km/h, the rear wheels are automatically turned to an angle opposite to the front wheels. This makes the Touareg more agile and more nimble. Especially when maneuvering, the all-wheel steering makes its presence felt in the reduction of the turning circle from 12.19 to 11.19 meters. At speeds above 37 km/h, the rear wheels are automatically turned in the same direction as the front wheels. This makes for smoother handling as the all-wheel steering system stabilizes lane changes, for example during fast overtaking. The same applies to sudden evasive maneuvers.

The specified fuel consumption and emission data does not refer to a single vehicle and is not part of the offer but is only intended for comparison between different types of vehicles. Additional equipment and accessories (additional components, tyre formats, etc.) can alter relevant vehicle parameters such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics, affecting the vehicle's fuel consumption, power consumption, CO2 emissions and driving performance values in addition to weather and traffic conditions and individual driving behavior.

Further information on official fuel consumption data and official specific CO2 emissions for new passenger cars can be found in the "Guide to fuel economy, CO2 emissions and power consumption for new passenger car models", which is available free of charge from all sales dealerships and from DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, D-73760 Ostfildern, Germany and at www.dat.de/co2.
