Currently got a Touareg R.. it’s absolutely pleasure to drive.. I used to have merc GLE43 and Touareg is by far much better although I’m a merc fan.. but that’s the truth.. VW did an excellent job with the new Touareg..

[@fukpinglam1710]

hi what is the fuel consumption?

[@rocket6772]

I've recently bought an R version, it's my 4th toureg, it absolutely astonishing to drive, let's face it, we can't drive like we're on a track, it so comfortable and effortlessly quick. The cooled seats are lush, as always the AC is extremely efficient, cooling the entire car in no time. The more I drive it, the better it gets. I regularly get 27 mile round town on battery only, I mostly ony use the engine at weekends. Working out very economical 😊

[@emergingit]

The turning circle is better than normal because of the 4 wheel steering, best turning circle Ive driven

[@scottsmith9903]

They should’ve put the 4.0l V8 with mild hybrid technology in this car and given it over 550hp,esp considering it’s the R model

[@cinch]

That would have been sooooo good. What a noise

[@krane15]

VW has never had an V8. OK, it did have a W-8 for a second.

[@FAS_25]

Is it better than 2024 bmw x5 x40i? Please need to choose

[@YewtBoot]

Is this model equipped with the night vision monitoring/alarms?

[@jeffreystephenson6946]

How many of this will you see parked at the side of the motorway compared with a Disco very few I would think broken down Discos and range rovers are a common site

[@mihakocjan3602]

Hey one quastion. (When baterry and engine works together, when battery gives boost to engine) Do battery automaticly charging when driving a car? or you need to charge by yourself, i dont talking about driving in electric mode only.

[@cinch]

Hey! You should charge the battery by plugging the car in, but if you run low on energy, the engine can be used to charge the battery. But it drinks a lot of fuel if you choose this method 👎🏼

[@mihakocjan3602]

so if battery is low, only engine works?

[@krane15]

@@mihakocjan3602 Don't even consider it as a hybrid. Its a terrible implementation of the hybrid system. Not enough range on electric and waste far too much fuel with running on the engine alone. Its just something to full the hybrid void.

@@krane15 tnx for all everyone;

[@emergingit]

@@krane15 3.3L per 100kms for a 3.5 tonnes towing vehicle. I wouldn't consider it terrible. The electric range alone is for city commuting obviously

[@thomasshepard6030]

The best TOUAREG was the V10 turbo diesel

That photo with the 747 is iconic!

Until it came time for service.

Wow Rylan, you've changed a lot since you made the TV ads.

😂👏🏼

[@dimmacommunication]

What is the ground clearance at max height?

[@cinch]

200mm is the listed ground clearance height 😀

[@krane15]

The Touareg's biggest problem is that its too close the its corporate siblings. Anything it can do, they can do batter. Sure its cheaper, but by the time you get to the 70-80k mark, that difference becomes insignificant. Those shopper will just get the more premium brand. The only way to sell he VW in that case is for it to specialize in an area its corporate siblings cannot. For example, the first generation of Touareg offered lockers for the rear, and center. Making it a fully fledged off-road capable SUV.

[@emergingit]

That's debatable. The BMW M5 is way way dearer and uses way more fuel.

[@GR8Tmate]

They’re still fitting their cars with those aweful haptic buttons, such a shame

[@cinch]

Thankfully (as we agree with your frustrations), they are phasing them out of models gradually. No more accidental pressing 🎉

[@killmayrjacinto6893]

Those headlights remind me of the Alfa Romeo Suv.

[@cinch]

We see what you’re saying. A bit 🧐 Which do you prefer?

[@killmayrjacinto6893]

I would prefer the Tiguan R.

[@carolburke9153]

You are both determined not to work !

[@burnzy3210]

Hate to break it to you pal but rover died off 18 years ago, maybe you should update your thumbnail to say RANGE rover

[@cinch]

We'd rather call it Rover Streetwise as that was the COOLEST car ever.

Hello thank you I love Germany.

[@cinch]

Thank you too!

[@mikeszymkowiak8520]

Doesn’t seem any better than Tiguan or Seat Ateca for the price. Disappointing for cost IMO

[@krane15]

What? Sounds like you didn't do your research . Its an entire class above the Tiguan in features and size.

[@mikeszymkowiak8520]

@@krane15 so is the cost for same luxury 🤔

[@B00STA55]

Sounds Boring.

[@YewtBoot]

Pay extra for the Porsche, then.

[@robaire.b]

Would have been more relevant if it was fully electric rather than including retro technology, polluting, combustion propulsion

[@cinch]

No doubt electric will come in the near future - even Jeep's going fully electric now :)

[@jimomega381]

Good luck charging an EV when heat pumps are gobbling all the leccy at 5pm in the near future. What a toerag this is!🤣🤣🤣

[@GR8Tmate]

Please look at how polluting the EV actually is, look past all the BS they are feeding you & ask some questions around what they’re doing with expired and faulty batteries, including the cost of replacement. EV’s in their current format are the worlds next ecological disaster in the making.

[@kenfretwell7947]

Why don’t you just get a Tesla. They don’t tell lies.

[@leowyper1701]

Because Tesla is electric and electric is rubbish

[@markfox1545]

And because I'm a normal working man with a normal hgv driver wage and those Tesla pieces of shit cost several times my annual salary, moron.

[@cinch]

I'm not so sure. Even the name of the driver assistance system, "autopilot", isn't exactly accurate 😬

[@GR8Tmate]

Tesla are JUNK cars compared to the quality of Volkswagen and ANYONE with eye for detail will see it. Besides which EV’s in their current format are the worlds next ECOLOGICAL DISASTER and your comment about lies won’t age well when people finally WAKE UP to the puppy they are being sold with this EV junk and the CLIMATE EMERGENCY SCAM they’re being fed. Please WAKE UP, dirty EV’s 🤢🤢🤮
