Speaking of the Volkswagen Touareg, everyone must be familiar with it. As the most high-end SUV model of the Volkswagen family, to be honest, the strength of the Touareg is completely comparable to luxury cars such as Audi Q7, BMW X5, but due to the gap in brand power, As a result, this car has always been "big thunder but little rain". Although the price is much cheaper than luxury cars of the same level, it is difficult to win the favor of domestic users. Therefore, the development prospects of Touareg in China are not very good. clear.
Recently, the editor obtained a set of spy photos of the new Touareg's overseas road test from the Internet. From the spy photos, we can find that there are no obvious changes in the appearance of the new car, and it continues the traditional and classic design of the family. It is reported that the new car will be released in the second half of this year and is expected to be launched in the first quarter of next year. Are you looking forward to such a new car?
As a luxury car, what’s so high-end about the Touareg? This can be said to be reflected in the platform construction. The car is built on the same platform as the Audi Q7 and Porsche Cayenne . It has excellent product performance. In addition, its imported status can also be seen in its high-end On the one hand, Volkswagen has so many models, but there are not many imported models, and Touareg is one of them. This new Touareg will continue its consistent high-end performance and have been optimized in details, as follows Let’s take a closer look.
As a facelift model, the new Touareg has no obvious changes in appearance design. It continues the family's usual matryoshka-style design. I think this is understandable.
The shape of the front face is very impressive. The classic grille is decorated with banner-type chrome trim strips and looks very layered. It is connected to the LED headlight groups on both sides, which stretches the lateral tension of the front face and the front surround. Banner-style decorative strips are added to echo the grille. This front face design can be said to be full of aura, not inferior to luxury cars such as Audi Q7 and BMW X5.
From the perspective of the visual effect of the body, the new Touareg is more sporty than the current model. The more popular body lines, large multi-spoke wheels and sleek tail all create a more prominent sense of rhythm, especially the design of the tail, which is fierce. At first glance, it really looks like a Porsche Cayenne. The taillights are not only eye-catching in shape, but also have a sci-fi effect, which brings a higher degree of recognition. The flat bilateral chrome-plated tail row has been retained, and it can be vaguely seen from here. I feel its impressive power, which is actually the case.
Turning our attention to the inside of the car, the new Touareg also continues the design of the current model. The central control layout on the driver's side is more user-friendly, and the creation of a sense of luxury and technology is also quite good. The materials used in the panel are very It is exquisite, the soft leather material package is matched with piano paint and wood grain material decoration, which is both high-end and luxurious, in line with its positioning as a luxury car, and the large-size LCD central control screen and full LCD instrument are the embodiment of a sense of technology. , the combination of the two creates the effect of a joint screen, but it is not a joint screen. In addition, flat-bottomed steering wheels, electronic gear levers, etc. are also bonus points. Generally speaking, this kind of interior design can completely match It is comparable to luxury cars such as Audi Q7 and BMW X5.
Power performance can be said to be a major highlight of the new Touareg. In addition to the 2.0T power provided by the entry-level model, it is also equipped with the same 3.0T V6 engine as the Porsche Cayenne. In terms of transmission power, it is matched with an 8AT gearbox. , this set of power has a maximum power of 340 horsepower, a peak torque of 450N·m, and the entire series is equipped with a four-wheel drive system. At the same time, the chassis adjustment is also in place, equipped with air suspension. In addition, there is news that the new car It will also be equipped with a 3.0T plug-in hybrid to meet the needs of more users.
From the performance point of view, the improvement of the new Touareg is not very big, but the selling points of this new car are quite sufficient, especially the product strength. It has the capital to compete with the mainstream luxury cars of the same level, and it also has a certain price. has the advantage of showing a relatively high cost performance. For the new Touareg, the lack of brand power may be the biggest problem of this car. If this new car wants to achieve good market performance after being launched, it can be said that improving the brand power is Very important point.
