Light just where you need it

The HD matrix headlight not only ensures better visibility at night but also supports you while driving. Over 19,000 individually controllable LEDs are used for each headlight. This means that your Volkswagen can project markings onto the road when the high beam is switched on. These make it easier for you to drive through narrow construction zones on the highway or to stay in your lane. The HD matrix headlight also improves the function of Dynamic Light Assist. This means that other road users and traffic signs can be blocked out even more precisely from your own high beam. When you start or park your vehicle, the HD matrix headlight provides a special light animation for you.

Take a seat and enjoy

As soon as you sit inside the Touareg, it’s plain to see: the stylish interior design says it all. An elegant double seam runs from the dashboard across to the door sill. The Elegance and R-line are available with aluminium decorative trims and 30 color ambient lighting coupled with embossed Touareg name on the dash. The high-quality, harmoniously coordinated materials ensure a feel-good atmosphere straight away.

Confident appearance

The Touareg is an SUV that meets high expectations – and proves this too with a striking and sophisticated design. The wonderfully expressive front section with prominent air intakes and the powerful rear accentuate the sporty presence of the Touareg. Its balanced proportions emphasise its elegance – as well as its size, which makes it a comfortable companion on the road.

Sets standards. Even in the dark.

The HD matrix headlights give you a taste of what they can do as soon as you switch them on – with an unmistakable projection of light. The light signature on the Touareg is complemented by a light strip above the radiator grille and area lighting and has light projection onto the ground when doors open. There is also a light strip on the rear, while the brand logo in the centre is illuminated in red.

Tailor-made individuality

The Touareg impresses with abundant standard equipment. And you also benefit from the following extras in the Elegance and R-Line variants: Elegance When you opt for the Elegance equipment line, your Touareg will shine with an elegant signature light at the front and with HD matrix headlights and impressive 3D LED tail light clusters and an illuminated logo at the rear. The interior includes highlights such as the Vienna leather package, the sill panel mouldings in the front in stainless steel aluminium decorative trim and ambient lighting. R-Line The R-Line equipment line is ideal if you want to lend your Touareg an even sportier feel with 20-inch alloy wheels, bumper in R styling, pedals in brushed stainless steel and sill panel mouldings with R-Line logo. And to improve the driving experience even more, there’s the heatable multifunction steering wheel in leader with paddles.

Individual light – to match the mood

The Touareg has x-rayed decorations on board as standard. The elegance equipment line is available with ambient lighting. The lower and upper area of the interior can thus be illuminated in different colours independently of each other. If two different colours are selected, the main colour is adopted additionally for the displays. You can therefore create completely different lighting scenarios depending on your mood.

Inspiring worlds of sound for new horizons

The new Touareg is transformed into a mobile concert hall with the optionally available DYNAUDIO Consequence sound system:

• 7.1 Dolby Surround Sound from 14 loudspeakers installed in the interior
• Four treble loudspeakers, two mid-range loudspeakers, four bass loudspeakers and two effect loudspeakers in the rear
• One centre loudspeaker in the front and a subwoofer in the luggage compartment
• 730-watt power amplifier

Your eyes remain on the road

Being able to check important information while also keeping an eye on the road: this is a major advantage of the optional head-up display. Part of the windscreen becomes a projection surface that can display your speed, messages from your driver assist systems or navigation instructions. The projection itself is still clearly legible, even when light is shining directly onto the windscreen. And you can switch off the display at any time if you no longer need it.

Closing doors discreetly

Doors left ajar can also be closed without any physical effort using the optional power latching system. An electric motor draws them in and closes then gently and securely. Ideal in parking spaces where there is limited space to get the necessary momentum.

More agile steering, more comfortable manoeuvring

With the all-wheel steering, the rear wheels are turned to an angle opposite to the front wheels up to 37 km/h. The turning circle is reduced by more than one metre as a result. At a higher speed, the rear wheels are turned in the same direction as the front wheels. The Touareg is therefore more agile and more stable when changing lanes.

Riding on air

The Touareg lets you decide what type of driving experience you want. Depending on the driving mode, the optional air suspension* lifts the vehicle to a ground clearance of 258 mm. The rear of the vehicle can also be lowered by 40 mm for convenient loading or unloading. *optional on Elegance, standard on R-Line

Equipped for pulling serious loads

The new Touareg can tow up to 3500 kg, so for example a boat or horse trailer. The towing bracket is concealed under the rear and automatically folds out and locks in place at the touch of a button when needed. And because manoeuvring with a trailer is not that easy, the standard Trailer Assist can help you when using the towing bracket.

Maintain Traction With 4MOTION All-wheel Drive

No sunshine? No problem. The 4MOTION all-wheel drive ensures that the engine power is distributed between all four wheels according to requirements even on a rainy, icy or bumpy surface. It thus prevents spinning and gives your Touareg increased traction on practically any surface. In other words, comfort first. This includes the 4MOTION Active Control electronic driving profile selection, which allows you to get even more from your permanent all-wheel drive. You’ve chosen the 4MOTION powertrain? Then you also automatically get the 4MOTION Active Control driving profile program. You choose from four profiles, and you’ll INTERNAL be amazed at how the system adapts the powertrain features of your Touareg optimally to the surface and makes driving even more comfortable and enjoyable.

• Snow: for slippery surfaces and snow
• On road: for driving on roads
• Offroad: for off-road adventures
• Offroad Individual: for customized settings 4MOTION Active Control also contains the electronic differential lock.

Keeps you in your lane. And keeps others at a distance.

The optional Travel Assist function provides you with extremely useful driving assistance on board. It can keep you in your lane, maintain a minimum distance to the vehicle in front and the maximum speed you have set. One of the features it uses to do this is adaptive lane guidance. This actively keeps the vehicle in the middle of the lane. Travel Assist adapts to your driving style and can also drive further to the left or right in its own lane instead of exactly in the middle. Travel Assist is extended by predictive cruise control and cornering assistance. Travel Assist can therefore adapt the vehicle’s speed to the relevant speed limits and road layouts (bends, roundabouts etc.).

Keeps its distance. And sticks to speed limits.

Adaptive Cruise Control helps you to maintain a previously set maximum speed and preset distance to the vehicle in front. Adaptive cruise control also supports you with predictive cruise control and cornering assistance. Adaptive Cruise control can therefore adapt the vehicle’s speed to the relevant speed limits and road layouts (bends, roundabouts etc.). Emergency braking assistant "Front Assist" The standard Front Assist emergency braking system with pedestrian and cyclist monitoring can warn you of critical situations involving pedestrians, cyclists and other vehicles. It will even brake automatically in emergency situations.

For a complete overview.

Manoeuvring in the busy city centre, in a multi-storey car park or in rough terrain: there are many situations in which drivers could use a few extra eyes. With the optional Area View you get them in the form of four cameras that capture the area around the vehicle and transfer helpful information to the screen of the infotainment system. For example, you can see kerbs or parking markings better and even look around the corner.

Night Vision assist system

The Night Vision assist system - which detects people and animals by a thermal imaging camera and shows them in the digital instruments (Digital Cockpit) and corresponding warning signals in the optional head-up display - the HD matrix lighting of the Touareg is one of the best lighting and night vision systems in the world. The Night Vision system also includes a marker light that briefly illuminates people in the potential danger area with a particularly bright light that make them even more visible to the driver. The combination of IQ.Light HD matrix headlights and Night Vision can help in earlier recognition and mitigation of dangerous situations.
