The new Volkswagen Touareg comes with a V6 and many new toys to play with as well
Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia (VPCM) today officially introduced the all-new Touareg R-Line to the Malaysia market. The locally assembled flagship SUV comes with the recommended retail price of RM469,990, inclusive of Volkswagen Assurance Package (VAP).
The new Volkswagen Touareg, now in its third generation, is the brand’s first SUV when it made its global preview in 2002. Over 1.14 million units have been sold worldwide, and till today remains a popular model at the top of Volkswagen’s SUV range.
Moreover, the new Volkswagen Touareg is powered by a proven 3-litre V6 TSI that makes 340PS of power and up to 450Nm of torque sent to all wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission and intelligent 4MOTION system.
New front and rear design adds to the Touareg’s commanding stance. At the front, the radiator grille, headlights and the front apron have been given a new look. The design of the rear end is also sharper with its continuous horizontal LED strip for the tail light clusters.
The Touareg redefines lighting technology with the new IQ LIGHT HD MATRIX headlights, one of the best lighting systems in the world. This highly intelligent lighting system of more than 38,000 interactive micro-LEDs illuminates the road more precisely than ever before.
On top of that Night Vision is also included, a first for a Volkswagen here in Malaysia, which provides the driver with a better view of the road at night. The system uses an infrared sensor in the camera to detect thermal signatures from humans or animals up to 130 metres ahead to keep the driver aware of potential collisions.
An immersive “concert hall” experience is provided in the Volkswagen Touareg with the 730W Dynaudio Consequence sound system powered by an 80W amplifier. The system has 13 speakers strategically situated around the cabin with one subwoofer located in the boot floor as well.
Air suspension with Automatic Self-Levelling is standard and provides the highest level of driving comfort. It automatically adapts the vehicle height to match terrain conditions and can lower the ride height by 40mm for easier loading or unloading of cargo.
5 colour choices are available for the exterior finish, namely Lapiz Blue, Silicon Gray, Grenadilla Black, Oryx White and Dolomite Silver. The Touareg R-Line is offered with the Volkswagen Assurance Package that includes 5 years free maintenance, 5 years unlimited mileage warranty, and 5 years complimentary roadside assistance.
