Test drive Volkswagen Touareg 2007 - 2010 SUV

Test drive VW Touareg V8 2008: Male Work

Each man would like to have an perfect car. Every woman would like to feel male care. Many cars would like to be a toileg.
VW Touareg test drives have already been conducted quite a few. The car itself is known to everyone, its comparison with classmates was also done by everyone who is not lazy. True, most of the materials describe the qualities of the 2006 model. In our own skin we found out what a modern Tuareg of the 2009 model year is.
I am a city crossover
And this statement is 100% suitable for the subject. High -quality materials of the interior decoration, rich equipment and modern electronics, large compartments for storing all small things. Inside the VW Touareg you can find everything that can come in handy in everyday life. And even in city traffic jams, he feels even free. And his freedom -loving disposition from the first acquaintance is transmitted to the owner. 350-horsepower V8 engine disperses
 
the car is up to 100 km/h in 7.5 seconds. The maximum speed is 244 km/h. An irritation caused by a common metropolitan bustle is neutralized by comfortable seats, and smart security systems help to relax and allow the head to start resting on the way home. Increased comfort provides air suspension. In most cases, three factory modes Comfort, Auto and Sport are enough. The names speak for themselves. Another plusk earned VW Touareg thanks to the new entertainment system. Now there is DVD/MP3, a TV receiver, and navigation with a Russian card (but English language), an off-road monitor and a rear view camera. The sound for Touarega has been developed by the notorious Dynaudio company.
I am an SUV
You can’t argue with this either. The German tour is not afraid of the SUV. If necessary, differential and suspension are easily tuned in hand by two rotary regulators near the gearbox lever. Raising Tuareg to the maximum, you can slide off the road without fear. Thanks to the complete 4xmotion drive and the electronic differential blocking system, Tuareg overcomes all obstacles without problems. Sand slide or icy descent is not a problem. Having learned the maximum capabilities of the car, you can without fear and doubt go on a trip to the places where the person’s leg has not yet stepped and did not leave his mark or a tread. True, most owners of this car are unlikely to want to check its possible maximum speed. The faint of heart, to put it mildly, may not become good.
 
I am robot
In literally, VW Touareg can think instead of and/or with a person. I have already mentioned smart security systems. Now I want to tell about them a little more. The main advantages of Touareg 2008 were Front Assist and Side Assist. Front Assist sensors monitor the speed and distance of the car walking in front. If the distance to it is reduced to critical, then the system itself will inhibition. The Side Assist sensor of marking and restructuring monitors objects on parallel stripes. If the Toureg driver decides to rebuild, and there is a car in the dead zone, then a warning signal lights up on the inside of the side mirrors. The quick flashing of the Side Assist sensor means that rebuilding is now strictly prohibited, the car in the dead zone is overtaking.
 
In fact, the new VW Touareg can go without a driver at all. The improved cruise control, using the on-board sensors and the testimony of the GPS system, can get from point A B B yourself. True, I could not check it.
Suspension suspension
Tuareg’s trump card, undoubtedly, was the suspension. It is pneumatics (in a cheap spring configuration) that makes this car truly universal. Thanks to the variable road clearance, VW Touareg can ride anywhere. Tall and roll on off -road (lumen 30 cm), it changes radically, dropping on the highway (15 cm clearance).
What we want, we have
VW Touareg has many advantages. You can try to find disadvantages, but attempts will most likely be unsuccessful. It makes no sense to compare with classmates either, they will lose everything on off -road, they will be equal on the highway. The choice, in my opinion, is obvious. The rest is a matter of taste.

Off -road facts about VW Touareg:
Maximum overcoming climb - 45 degrees
The depth of the overcoming ford 580 mm
Entrance / Congress angle - 28 degrees
The angle of crossing over the obstacle is 27 degrees
Side angle of movement - up to 45 degrees
