From other brands of cars produced by the Volkswagen concern, the Tuareg has several distinct advantages. Manufacturers released this model taking into account the conditions of regions with impassable driveways and harsh climate. At the same time, using innovative technologies in mechanical engineering and new design solutions, developers were able to get SUVs that can satisfy the needs of the most sophisticated drive enthusiasts. What are the specifications? Tuareg is notable for its high performance in this regard, and car tuning will leave few indifferent.
Car "Tuareg" (Volkswagen)
First introduced at the Paris Motor Show in 2002, the Tuareg car won the hearts of lovers of a comfortable and fast ride. Over the past period, Volkswagen introduced several versions of the SUV to the public, including environmentally-friendly models such as the Touareg Hybrid AT (379 Hp) with a 3.0 engine. It can be noted that during the change of generations, the dimensions of the interior and the body increased, the latest issues are made with an automatic transmission from 8 Tiptronic gears. Consider some specifications. The Tuareg was almost perfected by the engineers: the weakest engine of the model allows to accelerate to 100 km / h in 8.5 seconds.
The exterior design of the car is made in the framework of the latest trends. Smooth lines emphasize the power of an SUV. The interior of the car allows you to feel comfort throughout the trip, and climate control will create a wonderful atmosphere inside the Tuareg SUV. Specifications for the latest version are described below.
Model 2013
Presented in the current 2013 by Volkswagen concern, the latest version differs little from its predecessors in terms of external design. The internal equipment of the car became different, technical specifications changed. Tuareg of this release has the following indicators:
- a modified diesel engine V6 with a volume of 3.6 liters, capable of developing up to 200 liters. forces;
- torque - 550 Nm;
- alloy wheels - 20 inches;
- adaptive pneumatic system;
- bi-xenon optics;
- electronic brake force distribution control;
- tire pressure monitoring system;
- adjustable heated seats (12 positions);

Additional Information
Specialists who participated in the development of Volkswagen Tuareg models (the characteristics of the latest version were discussed above) offer some useful tips for driving:
- The “mountain” brake with which the SUV is equipped operates at a speed of less than 20 km / h, slopes of the road surface of more than 20%, as well as in cases of activation of the ESP anti-skid system. It is noted that the accelerator pedal should not be pressed in these cases. This is done with the loss of adhesion of one of the wheels with a road surface, which often occurs at mountain crossings.
- When shifting the transmission into low gear on models with automatic transmission, the vehicle speed should be less than 15 km / h and the selector position should be in a neutral position.
- When driving on the road, it is better to turn the gear down and lock the center differential completely (100%).
- When cornering at high speeds, the electronic control system of the SUV switches the suspension to the Sport position, despite the rigidity of this device that was manually selected.
These are the technical specifications of the car. Tuareg differs from other SUVs in significant advantages. Sophisticated electronic control of the car combines a comfortable ride with the sporting capabilities of an SUV. And various devices, such as air receivers, fittings for inflation of tires and others, greatly simplify the operation of the machine.
