Here's a listing of Touareg's most unique features that many would consider to be among the top reasons for owning a Volkswagen Touareg:
- Not your typical entry-level SUV, the Touareg boasts serious off-road abilities for a unibody SUV.
- Comes fully loaded with a wide range of standard features.
- The Extreme Offroad package features an air suspension package for more ground clearance, superior departure angles (up to 34 degrees), increased suspension articulation, additional skid plates, and more aggressive tires.
- Designed to be easier to drive than most.
- Steering is precise and quick. Even on tight turns, there is very little body roll.
- The unique air suspension package offers the driver varying ride heights (up to 11.8 inches of ground clearance) to choose from - automatically or manually. It's standard on the V-10 version, and worth the cost on other versions.
- Touareg packs true off-road credentials with three locking differentials standard.
- Comes standard with dual-zone automatic climate control.
- It's easy to load things in the back cargo area, due to the low, wide hatch opening.
- An upgraded 10-speaker sound system is standard equipment in a Touareg.
- Good attention to detail: There are 12-volt power outlets throughout the Touareg, and a number of storage areas.
- It has a rich interior with gauges that are extremely easy to read and controls that are easy to use.
- The navigation system has unique offroad features, including an off-roading screen that shows altitude, longitude and latitude, position of the front wheels, a compass and status of the locking differentials.
- Impressive 7,716-pound towing capacity exceeds that of other midsize SUVs (Toyota 4Runner, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango, Ford Explorer and Chevy TrailBlazer).
- There's more than adequate interior space for 5 passengers with plenty of leg room for both front and rear seat riders, plus the driver's power seat provide adjustments to accommodate any body size.
- The standard air suspension packages includes an on-board air compressor that can inflate the spare in the event of a flat, and the Touareg also comes with a tire-pressure monitoring system.
- In addition to four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes, Touareg comes with an
incredible brakes package including front 6-piston Brembo brakes, resulting in incredibly sharp braking that is unlikely to fade, as well as
BrakeAssist, Electronic Brakeforce Distribution, and stability control.
- Its styling and ride matches that of some luxury sedans.
- There are so many cool features, you won't feel bad paying more for this SUV than for others in the same class.
