A true off-roader, the new Volkswagen Touareg delivers incredible stability over the most difficult ground with its ingenious structure and transmission. Its central Electronic Differential Lock system (available as standard on the Escape model) comes into play in slippery conditions, where power is automatically transmitted to the wheel with the best purchase on the ground.

To enhance off-road stability even further, the Hill Descent Assist facility controls the vehicle when descending gradients of up to 45°. And, when going up equally steep inclines, the minimal front overhang drastically reduces the risk of grounding. For the same purpose, the Touareg’s air suspension can raise the ground clearance of the vehicle from 238mm to 300mm when coping with rough terrain.

Supremely strong and powerful, this SUV can tow loads weighing 3.5 tonnes and ford water up to 50cm deep. Moreover, it comes packed with driver-assistance features such as Side Scan (lane change assist), which warns you of other vehicles in your blind spot on fast roads, and Area View – four cameras at the front, rear and sides of the car.
