The fact that the Volkswagen Touareg 2015 gets a new face, it became known in April, and the Europe could see the SUV at the Motor Show. And yet, we briefly recall the list of major changes: the radiator grille, bumpers and fog lights, rear diffuser, a new, modified lights and bumper slightly different. In addition, in the standard updated Volkswagen Touareg 2015 is equipped with bi-xenon headlamps.
Externally, the car became a little more presentable. “If before, looking at the car from the front, you have seen the letter «V», now it was replaced by the letter «A», – explain the nature of the changes by representatives of the German company. And that, really like! Most interestingly, the size of the car… have not changed! Only 2 mm to 4801 mm in length was reduced “Volkswagen Touareg 2015″.
What happened to the interior of Volkswagen Touareg 2015, properly be called not change and extension – extension line options of finishes and wood inserts on the front panel. However, if you have not noticed the tiny touches like some levers slightly different form, here’s a more substantial innovation – now the instrument lighting and keys on the front panel changed its color from red to white. According to German experts, this color combination further emphasizes “the premium SUV.” I do not know, as there is with a premium, but the eyes of a white light less tired – fact.

Find changes in the cabin without scrutiny shaped buttons is not so easy, except for those of the new white instrument lighting and buttons. Claims to the location of the key is not present, but the multimedia system could be. This lack of promise to eliminate with the new generation SUV. But what is decidedly not like it – there is no separate slots for “flash card”, it can only be connected via a special adapter in the armrest. Really on such trifles worth saving?
Under the hood of the updated Volkswagen Touareg 2015 settled already known to us, motors, changes are in the nuances. So, from now on all engines meet standards “Euro-6″, have the function Start / Stop and got a special mode, which is activated when coasting and reduces fuel consumption. But in Russia, the requirements on ecology is softer and therefore ruler of motors will be different. So buyer can choose between a 3.6-liter petrol V6 (249hp), 3.0-liter diesel TDI (204 or 245hp) and the top-end “eight”: the 4.2-liter petrol FSI (360hp) and diesel TDI (340hp) of the same volume. But in Europe, instead of 245-strong turbodiesel will sell advanced unit develops 262hp and 580 N ∙ m – 17hp and 30 N ∙ m more than before. Transmission in all cases – the 8-speed automatic Aisin.
With the base diesel engine capacity of 204hp Volkswagen Touareg 2015 gaining first hundred in 8.7 seconds and reaches 206 km / h maximum speed. In the combined cycle car consumes only 6.6 liters of diesel per 100 kilometers. Compare this with the top diesel V8 with 340 hp – 5.8 seconds to “hundreds” and 242 km / h “maximum speed”! But even with such fuel consumption is kept in bounds of decency – 9.1 liters in combined cycle
Of course, there have updated Volkswagen Touareg 2015 also hybrid versions: a 3.0-liter gasoline engine (333hp) and a 46-horsepower electric motor. But this version will be available in Russia only on the individual order, because consumption of 8.2 liters per 100 km in the combined cycle is not a sufficient argument, when a liter of gasoline costs less than 1 euro…

How goes the updated Volkswagen Touareg 2015? Very good for its size. And earlier Volkswagen Touareg 2015 governed adequately, but the creators have worked on improving the chassis, so that the reaction on the steering wheel are even more accurate. In addition, as previously optional air suspension available for order, adapt the ride height of the car depending on the speed. Add to that the modern electronic assistants: sky cameras, control system dead zones, keep the vehicle in the lane, adaptive cruise control, and emergency brake (theoretically, Volkswagen Touareg 2015 driver can move without touching the gas pedal and brake).
Of course, do not forget about the off-road talents “Tuareg”. We simply list the main indicators: the ground clearance of 220 mm, the angle of entry and exit 26º (air suspension in the presence of – 33º), as well as all-wheel drive 4MOTION with asymmetric differential locking Volkswagen Touareg 2015. When ordering Terrain Tech package increases the possibility of the car even more due to the possibility of forced differential lock by using multi-plate clutch with electronic control and lower the next, as well as an increase of 10 mm ground clearance. And, of course, it is worth mentioning the help system on the slope. Even a brief ride on a specially prepared test site makes it clear that Volkswagen Touareg 2015 really ready for any road, and experience to run car from Melbourne to St Petersburg (yes, yes! It was and is!) Only confirms this.
