Onroad and offroad running gear. The running gear of the Touareg has largely been developed from scratch to further perfect the car’s comfort and dynamic properties. Volkswagen is once again offering optional all-round air suspension with electronic damping control for the Touareg. The system has been significantly enhanced. The active roll compensation with electromechanically adjustable anti-roll bars is a completely new development. An all-wheel steering system that broadly makes this large SUV as agile and manoeuvrable as a compact car has also been newly developed. Across all models five-link axles with a light aluminium/steel design are used. The air suspension, roll compensation and all-wheel steering system also help to optimise the offroad features of the Touareg.
