May peace be upon you
Special Coverage episode today is in Salzburg, Austria
To test-drive the all new 2019 Volkswage Touareg now in its third generation
Stay with us in this coverage! Let's go!
VW Touareg is considered a successful model for the company
with a total sales of more than 1 million cars since it was launched
So the car is already popular and it has proven itself
The new third generation is coming strongly
The guys have developed it to make their product more competent
The car is an SUV multipurpose vehicle
You can use it for Off-roading
A high vehicle with an attractive design
and it has a lot of features
Now in its third generation what was their main focus?
They presented a luxurious car with a lot of optional features
As they want to compete against the German cars
The car is available in 3 trim levels
Atmosphere, Elegance, and R-Line
R-Line, as we all know is the sporty version
Regarding Atmosphere and Elegance; how are they different from each other?
and from the R-Line
The difference is all about colors and upholstery
Aluminium, Piano Black , wood, shades of colors
These are the differences between trim levels
Wheels sizes range from 18 to 21 inches
The most prominent exterior feature is the LED Matrix headlights
Frankly speaking, they created a radical change to the car looks
The car looks much better than the previous generation
Space in the back seats is excellent
The car size is excellent for a family car
Here is a middle-seat armrest, cup holders
and you can control climate zones on the right and left
There are air vents here and on the pillars too
Roof handles, lights!
There is a sound system here and sunshades on both sides
for more privacy!
We can see the use of Aluminium, Piano Black, and high quality materials
The new Touareg's interior...
at the first glance you will notice a difference from the previous generation
The guys paid a special attention to luxury regarding stitching , leather, metals
Check the gearbox it feels like you're in an airplane
The volume control button is really beautiful and luxurious
So the guys have done well in this aspect
One of the things I liked the most in the car is the giant touchscreen
This giant touchscreen is 15 inch
and the other display in front of the driver is 12 inch
Via this touchscreen you can control many of the car's features
Navigation, radio... Very simple , just like using your smartphone
If you slide it right , it goes right and there is a button in the middle
If you press it it opens the menu, just like an iPhone
These are powered seats , with massage function. Heated and ventilated
About air conditioning , there are 2 climate zones in the front and 2 in the back
They added all the comfort feature they could into this car
You can order the car with a panoramic sunroof
And there is a 14 speaker sound system with a power output of 730 watts
The luggage compartment is 810 liters and you can fold the backseats to increase capacity
Touareg is available with 5 seats
If you want 7 seats...
They advise you to buy a Teramont with 7 seats
Let's talk about the mechanical specifications
Now I'm driving a diesel- powered version
This is the first test-drive worldwide so all the cars manufactured are diesel powered
This car has a 3.0L V6 generating 286 hp
but a V6 petrol engine will be available soon
and by the end of the year a V8 version will be available
All engines will be connected to ZF 8-speed automatic gearbox
All versions come with all-wheel drive as standard
We all know that they pay attention to Touareg's abilities regarding towing and off-roading
these are important aspects to them
The car is equipped with air suspension system the same as the previuos
you can raise it up or lower it down
Now automatically, via air suspension and the computer
it controls the height of the vehicle according to the driving mode you choose
The driving modes include 'Eco' for better mileage
"'Comfort' for optimized comfort
'Normal' which is standard
'Sport' for sporty performance
'Individual, where you chose the settings you want
There is also 'Off-road" mode and 'Snow' mode
While on 'Off-road" mode there are two levels
the car is risen 25 mm higher in the first level
and the maximum height is 70 mm
and if you choose "Sport" mode the car will be lowered to improve aerodynamics
the car will automatically be lowered by 15 mm to improve stability and aerodynamics
Now, if you tow a trailer or something...
the car will automatically be lowered by 40 mm for better control and safety
when you tow trailers
One of the new systems VW used to improve the vehicles performance
is all-wheel steering
The rear wheels are turned to the right and left according to the car's speed
Below 37 km/h, the rear wheels automatically turn in a direction opposite to that of the front wheels.
which makes the vehicle more agile and reduce the turning circle of the car
When the speed is above 37 km/h
The rear wheels turn in the same direction as the front wheels
but with a narrow angle
This makes cornering smoother with better stability
It's not a sport car, of course but it's better than before
There are also anti-roll bars which distribute the weight to improve stability
they work with the smart adaptive chassis to balance the car weight
if the car starts to sway they move weight to the other side
to improve stability
Regarding weight, the car is 106 kg lighter than the previous generation
and at the same time the car became more rigid than before
The car's body construction included aluminum to reduce weight
The car's platform is also used in Audi Q7, Bentley Bentayga, and Porsche Cayenne
All 4 cars use the same platform
The car is equipped with many systems, which include..
Adaptive Cruise Control, 360° Cameras
The radars react to the traffic ahead of you according to speed
in case of emergency it intervenes and stops the car
There are sensors in the front and in the back
So this makes it easier for the driver from all angles
The car is also equipped with Night Vision
The driver doesn't have to focus, the system makes it easier to spot people at night
The car is equipped with 'IQ.Light" technology
The radar reads the road lines, etc..
Let's say there was a small kid on the side of the road riding his bicycle
The 'IQ.Light - LED matrix headlights' illuminates the kid by a brief flash,
to make them even more visible to the driver
In my opinion, this is a great feature! as it provides better safety.
If you're tired at night going home after a long day at work
This system makes it easier for you, it's a great safety feature!
One of the features I liked the most
Driving assistance systems also include; Lane Keeping Assist, and Blind Spot Detection
They equipped this car with all the safety features you'd ask for
The car also has a Head-up Display which shows your speed, and the speed limit
with navigation settings, etc..
We reached the final part my opinion of VW Touareg in its all new 3rd generation
The car is more beautiful now , more luxurious with better comfort , technology and safety features
But the main factor to determine the success of VW Touareg in our region is the price
Price plays a big role in the success or failure of the car in our region
The car is expected to hit Middle East markets by the end of June 2018
Now, why is price so important?
Because if the car is expensive, any customer can buy Audi Q7 instead or Porsche Cayenne
and those cars are from a higher category than VW Touareg
So he can pay a little extra to buy a car from a luxury brand
Is the car luxurious? Yes, it is Does it have enough features? Yes, it does
The car has 5 seats, but it's more expensive than VW Teramont (7-seater)
Positioning is very important, dear VW!
If you want to watch a test drive of VW Teramont which will come to our region soon
the 7-seater
