Volkswagen Touareg Introduced at Paris Motor Show
Two questions: 1) how is anybody ever going to spell or pronounce the name of this car properly? 2) How can VW/Audi execs not expect this car to cannibalize Audi Allroad sales? Regardless, I for one, would like to be able to buy a 313 HP diesel in the United States. 8-D
The Touareg represents a new vehicle concept at the top end of the sport utility vehicle (SUV) scale. Unlike previous vehicles in this segment of the market, it combines the characteristics of a high-class off-road vehicle with the comfort and convenience of a luxury saloon car - and the dynamic attributes of a sports car.
The Volkswagen Touareg is being launched with either a 162 kW (220 bhp) V6 spark-ignition engine or a V10 TDI diesel developing 230 kW (313 bhp). Later, a five-cylinder TDI and a V8 spark-ignition engine, both new designs, will be available. All Touaregs are equipped with 4XMOTION permanent four-wheel drive and a six-speed gearbox (automatic transmission with the V10 TDI engine).
