More stylish, more powerful, more capable than ever before, the redesigned new Touareg comes with a host of refinements, including optimised engines, improved on- and off-road capabilities, and an all new interior. It’s also faster, lighter and easier to handle, thanks to intelligent technology. All of which leaves the competition standing. And puts you streets ahead. Meet the new Touareg Hybrid, the first production hybrid vehicle from Volkswagen. It has an innovative EURO 5 compliant 3.0 litre V6 TSI engine with 333 PS and a parallel hybrid drivetrain. A 34.3 kW electric motor is positioned between the petrol engine and the 8 speed auto tiptronic gearbox, which allows you to drive on the electric motor alone with no emissions, up to a speed of about 31 mph. Alternatively, it can provide a noticeable power boost to the petrol engine when required in situations such as overtaking manoeuvres. It can even help accelerate the new Touareg Hybrid from 0 to 62 mph in just 6.5 seconds, faster than many hot hatches. However, none of these benefits come with a compromise, as the off-road and towing credentials of the new Touareg are unaffected by the hybrid system. In fact, it is the first hybrid off-road vehicle with a trailer load limit of 3.5 tonnes. Its Combined fuel consumption is an impressive 34.4 mpg and it emits just 193 g/km of CO2 while the petrol engine is in use. Which means, no matter how dirty your new Touareg gets off-road, it’s far cleaner than ever before.lg...Read more
