The new Volkswagen Touareg is the most technically advanced Volkswagen of its era, with the potential to impress drivers of any type of luxury class model with an affinity for technology and design and it comes equipped with comfort, high-end massage seats and impressive infotainment systems.
The Touareg wows us with the digital ‘Innovision Cockpit’ which consists of merging a high definition 15-inch touch screen with a 12.3-inch Active Info Display that replaces traditional analogue gauges, both of which can be fully personalised to the driver’s preferences.
The Innovision Cockpit represents a watershed – because no other Volkswagen interior has ever been digitalised to such an extent, offering wider ranging connectivity to vehicle functions and the outside world. The Touareg comes with the largest range of assistance, handling and comfort systems ever to be integrated into a Volkswagen.
The Innovision Cockpit is a head-up display, which projects key information into the virtual space in front of the driver on the windscreen. Natural light enters the interior through the large panoramic sliding roof implemented in a Volkswagen to date.
the digital cockpit with a 12.3-inch display and the Discover Premium infotainment system serve simultaneously as a radio-navigation system, telephone information centre, and a user interface for various vehicle functions. Night-time drives are made more pleasant by a newly developed form of LED ambient light.
On the outside, the highly expressive front end defines the Touareg’s design. Accentuated wheel arches at the front and muscular shaping of the shoulder edges at the rear underscore the Touareg’s confidence on any terrain.
The Touareg is also available in R-Line trim and offers buyers exclusive sport styling and premium features, such as comfort seats in Savona Carbon with stitching in contrasting colour (front and rear) and R-Line logo on the front backrests.
The R-specific features include aluminum inlay, central console in high glossy black R-Line logo on the welcome screen, ports pedals in stainless steel including footrest, R-specific leather multifunction steering wheel with R-Line logo, paddle shifters, armrest, steering wheel and selector lever with stitching in contrasting colour.
The driver experiences include a variety of different systems ranging from night vision, lane assist, front cross traffic assist, LED matrix headlights, windshield head up display, driver personalisation, wireless mobile phone charger and many more features to make travel safer, more convenient and more intuitive.
As one of the most technically and visually progressive SUVs of its time, the Volkswagen Touareg has the potential to impress drivers of any type of luxury class model with an affinity for technology and design and reach new target groups.
