Model Highlights

The 2008 Volkswagen Touareg is available with three different engines, a 3.6L direct-injected V6 that makes 280 horsepower, a 4.2L V8 that produces 350 horsepower and a 5.0L V10 "TDI" turbo diesel that is capable of 310 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque. These ratings make the TDI capable of towing up to 7,716 pounds while keeping relatively impressive EPA fuel economy ratings of 15 mpg city, 20 highway. All three engines are mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission with Tiptronic, which allows manual gear selection, plus the 4XMOTION all-wheel-drive system, oriented for on- or off-road conditions. All Touaregs have impressive approach and departure angles and are designed to handle water up to 22.8 inches deep. With the V6, the Touareg boasts decent acceleration, with 0-to-60 times now of 8.3 seconds, according to the automaker. The Touareg's interior is luxurious but also utility-minded. Rugged leatherette upholstery is standard, and the rear seat is split 60/40 and folds forward nearly flat for expanded cargo capacity. Four-wheel anti-lock brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD), electronic stability control, and an electronic differential lock are standard on the Touareg, along with engine braking assist (EBA), which helps maintain stability in steep situations. For steep off-road situations, hill descent control and hill climb assist, two other electronic aids, are standard. A 4-wheel air suspension system, which can help maintain an even load when towing or off-roading, is standard on the V10 TDI and optional on the other two models.
