A definite opinion about the car can be made from the available photos.

External data

Volkswagen fans are accustomed to a certain conservatism in the area of success achieved. The concept of the 2018 series was no exception, there was no absolute change in the image. Nevertheless, there is also something very interesting in appearance - the new Tuareg, judging by the spy photos, has acquired a rather predatory and arrogant look. The following changes will be of particular interest to buyers:

Application of new lens optics, trapezoidal grille with four chrome elements.
The updated shape of the bumper has received a huge variety of geometric planes, where the headlights of a modern shape, especially the anti-fog direction, fit organically.

The basic equipment, as shown by a test drive, has been significantly expanded due to halogen optics, ABS + EBS, ESP, ASR and EDS systems, six airbags, electric window lifters, adjustable by side mirror buttons.

In 2018, the new Volkswagen Touareg will see the light (photo below) - this is a truly significant event, considering that the last restyling of the popular crossover was carried out four years ago. The German manufacturer announced the preparation for the release of the updated model in 2016; Thus, Tuareg fans have been waiting for the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the changes made by Volkswagen for almost two years - and they are expected to be many.

Release date of the first generations Volkswagen Touareg - September 26, 2002. At that time, the idea of crossovers had not yet gained sufficient popularity, and the dynamics of new car sales left much to be desired until 2006, when an updated version of the Tuareg was offered to buyers at the Paris Motor Show. In addition to the "facelift", the crossover has received ABS and a new generation of cruise control. Volkswagen also eliminated the problem with the automatic transmission, which is unstable in 2002 models.

In 2007 in Australia at international motor show the presentation of the Volkswagen Touareg R50 modification with improved speed and power indicators took place: a five-liter engine with ten cylinders provided acceleration to 100 km / h in just 6.7 seconds (power - 350 Horse power).

The second generation of crossovers has been produced since 2010. The sample of the new Volkswagen Touareg, presented at the Munich Motor Show, has grown in length and width (by 4.3 and 1.2 cm, respectively), but has become lower by as much as 2 cm.

Tuareg 2010 buyers were able to choose between six engine options:

turbocharged six-cylinder diesels with a volume of 3 liters and a capacity of 204/240 horsepower;
turbocharged eight-cylinder diesel volume 4.2 liters and a capacity of 340 horsepower;
gasoline six-cylinder 3.6 liters and a capacity of 249/280 horsepower;
a hybrid combination of a 3-liter six-cylinder petrol (333 horsepower) and a 47 horsepower electric motor.

The crossover has received the innovative Terrain Tech system, which includes:

locking mechanism for the rear and center differential;
air suspension, which allows you to increase the ground clearance from 20.5 to 30 cm;
downshift auto.

As a result of a large-scale restyling in 2014, the Tuareg began to be equipped with new bi-xenon headlights, a crossover post-accident braking system that prevents further collisions, improved cruise control, and an easy door opening function. The interior view of the car has improved due to the stylish two-tone finish. In addition, the integration of the on-board computer with all popular navigation systems including Google Earth.

Volkswagen Touareg 2018 (photo below), as the manufacturer promises, will become even more beautiful, functional and safer. The color scheme of the body and interior is likely to expand, but there is no exact information about this yet. It can only be argued that Volkswagen will not deviate from the concept of two-tone upholstery and the use of high-quality materials, which provided the German manufacturer with the recognition of motorists from all over the world.

Exterior Volkswagen Touareg 2018 (exterior photo)

The appearance of the Volkswagen Touareg 2018 (photo below) has changed in better side: The body has become sportier, the hood lines have acquired a smoothness, which was lacking in previous versions, and the rear door has a stylish protruding spoiler.

The front view of the crossover is impressive primarily with a single line of the radiator grille and narrow headlights, slightly overlapping the sides of the car. The grille is fully chromed and embellished not only with the Volkswagen logo, but also with a central LED line. The headlights of the Touareg, both front and rear, also received LED "stuffing". The impression of power is complemented by wide air intakes and a slightly protruding car bumper.

The rear view of the crossover is almost identical previous version Tuareg. Exceptions are wide, slightly slanted headlights, raised diffuser and stylish flattened tailpipes exhaust system... Door glass luggage compartment has become slightly wider, giving the driver an additional view of the road.

Volkswagen Touareg 2018 side view will be remembered by Volkswagen fans thanks to its perfectly round wheel arches, perfectly matched with wide solid tires. On the rear bumper the crossover has a long reflective strip that provides the driver and passengers of the Volkswagen Touareg 2018 additional security in the dark.

Of course, the German manufacturer has not forgotten about the roof rails: they are still high enough for easy fixing of bulky items on the roof.

Photo of the interior of the car (salon)

The salon of the new Tuareg (photo below) has become even more spacious. Taking care of the comfort of passengers, Volkswagen decided to abandon the combined rear seat... The SUV is now equipped with fully autonomous rear seats with separate electric drives, allowing each passenger to spend their travel time with the greatest comfort.

The view of the Volkswagen Touareg 2018 dashboard (photo below) is amazing: instead of boring analog devices, there is a wide on-board computer display that displays all the necessary information about the state of the crossover, including speed, mileage, fuel amount and electric motor charge level. There are additional control keys on the parallel spokes of the steering wheel.

The central panel (photo below) houses a huge 12-inch touchscreen. No extra buttons - all control is carried out by clicking on the corresponding menu item.

The central tunnel has two niches for smartphones or small items, cup holders and separate seat position and tilt adjusters. At the rear of the tunnel there is a separate touch screen for controlling the multimedia system (the screens are located in the headrests of the front seats) and the same position adjusters.

The comfort of passengers and the driver is ensured by the anatomical shape of the seats with reinforced lateral support, as well as heating and ventilation of each seat. If necessary, the luggage compartment can be expanded three times: for this, it is enough to fold the rear seats (photo below).

The panoramic electric roof Volkswagen Touareg 2018 (photo below) will allow passengers to enjoy the surrounding view during the trip, and during stops - to completely ventilate the interior of the new crossover.

Interior trim of the future Volkswagen Touareg 2018

The interior of the model of the future Volkswagen Touareg 2018 will still amaze motorists with its spaciousness, comfort and elegance due to high-quality finishing materials.

The multifunction steering wheel with settings for reach and height, as well as starting the engine with a light press of a button, will pleasantly surprise you. The improved navigation system of the new Tuareg will become a reliable and trouble-free assistant for the driver on the way.

Significant leap forward in the refinement of the 2018 Volkswagen Touareg

But compared to previous models of this series, the power component of the new Tuareg will undergo serious changes:

There will be a new and improved independent air suspension, eight-speed automatic transmission gear shifting (gearbox) with an improved disc-type braking system and a new power steering.
By giving preference to this Volkswagen Touareg model, you will have at your disposal a three-liter turbocharged diesel engine with a capacity of two hundred and sixty horsepower. The complete set of this model includes three diesel engine, two gasoline unit and one hybrid installation. All-wheel drive equipment will be sold only with diesel engine options.
The German automobile concern Volkswagen is undoubtedly making a significant leap forward in improving its new generation models by introducing an engine with longitudinal arrangement developed on a chassis with MLB EVO platform, not yielding leadership to such models as Audi Q7, Audi A4, Ford explorer, Toyota prado, Mitsubishi pajero and Bentley Bentayga.

The full-size crossover from Wolfsburg celebrates its 15th anniversary this year. Despite the relatively modest premiere (in the spirit of the brand's traditions), the car has rapidly burst into the crowded segment of family SUVs, and has been in the top three sales for more than 10 years. The new Tuareg 2018 represents the third generation, and offers buyers something more than new body engines and more modern engines (although with this the SUV full order).

What's new outside?

In the spring of 2016, the concept of the brand's new flagship was unveiled at the Beijing Auto Show. Body changes (versus previous generations) so significant that few believed in their serial incarnation. However, the graphic sketches submitted to the patent office copy the Beijing concept with precision. Not yet official photos Tuareg 2018, future buyers can be guided precisely by the report from the Beijing Motor Show.

The main achievement of VW designers is new SUV got rid of the offensive resemblance to the Golf profile. Now we see the noble proportions of the Audi Q7. Actually, these cars have a common trolley - MLB Evo. It also serves as the base for Bentley Bentayga and Porsche. Cayenne new generations. So potential owners will have something to be proud of.

Appearance did not disappoint - narrow (while absolutely European) LED headlights and a monumental radiator grill. The sharp corners of the head optics visually continue with the equally sharp edge of the window sill line of the sidewalls. Moreover, it is not straight - there is a slight "racing" bend above the rear fenders. Looks very stylish. If in profile, new crossover can be confused with the latest generation Q7 (this is a plus for the Tuareg), then when you look at the rear, doubts disappear - this is Volkswagen. The forage has retained the family traits - from good, they are not looking for good. Unless the lanterns have become narrower and more predatory.

The dimensions have changed predictably: the body length is more than 5000 mm, wheelbase almost 3000 mm. These numbers hide the main gift for future owners.

Spacious salon

Volkswagen Tuareg 2018 will receive a third row of seats. This option has been waiting for 15 years. It seems that Volksvagen AG has finally prioritized: civil flagship crossovers: VW, Audi and Skoda will be seven-seater, and sports ones: Bentley and Porsche carry a limited number of passengers.

Another nice addition is that the interior design is now not as conservative (read boring) as in other models of the brand. There are quite a few new package design options. This is an integrated approach: the combined colors of the seats, the upholstery of the panels, the dashboard - each set is worked out to the smallest detail.

With multimedia and comfort, complete order - already in the database, the owner and his passengers will not be deprived of the benefits of the automotive civilization. In top trim levels may appear dashboard in the form of a monitor. Optionally, captain's seats are promised, of course, monitors for passengers, and massage.

Technique

Let's start with the base: always four-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic. You can not remember about ABS, ESP and other assistants, for cars of this class this is the standard. There are a lot of motors - from economical 4 cylinder diesels, up to turbocharged sixes-eights. When will the new Tuareg 2018 be released with a hybrid power plant, unknown. But the fact that it will be is a fact. Developments have been carried out over the past few years, the MLB Evo platform initially provides for the installation of batteries and an electric motor.

Information was leaked about a complete update of the all-wheel drive system - even the new Ku-7 does not have such an intelligent control over the condition of the coating.

The long-awaited premiere of the third generation of the German SUV from Volkswagen is scheduled for this fall. A new version The 2018 Touareg has undergone major modifications.

The updated one is based on the ultramodern MLB Evo platform. Apart from a completely new platform, the crossover boasts more modern design, advanced infotainment systems and technical equipment last generation.

The efforts of German designers are visible to the naked eye. Although the third generation Touareg retained the Volkswagen family traits, the exterior of the car has become more relevant.

The main modifications affected the front of the body updated crossover... First of all, the improved grille is striking. It has a trapezoidal shape and is decorated with horizontal chrome stripes.

The headlights of the latest generation have become an addition to the radiator grille. The front optics are represented by bi-xenon headlights with LED filling. The design team decided to make the exterior of the SUV more expressive and for this purpose increased the headlights in size.

Fog lights have acquired a more strict outline. The bumper of the novelty has significantly increased in size. Three air intakes were placed on it, repeating the shape of the radiator grill. This unusual solution allows you to achieve required level cooling the motor.

The profile of the third generation Touareg has remained almost unchanged. However, the front mirrors can be noted, protruding a little further beyond the body. And also the new Volkswagen has a horizontal chrome strip located at the bottom of the side doors.

Under the wide wheel arches there are modern light-alloy wheels. The lower body line is lowered towards the rear of the German. From the side, the crossover has retained a sporty and dynamic appearance.

The rear of the SUV's body does not differ much in appearance from the previous variation. However, the bumper of the Volkswagen grew slightly and added 6 mm.

The rear LED lights "creep" a little on the side fenders of the car. The tailgate has also increased in size and received a larger glazing area. The diffuser and exhaust pipe have also been restyled.

Much attention has been paid to increasing the level of noise insulation inside the cabin

The car body is made of ultra-modern materials that are resistant to corrosion and small mechanical damage... And the use of aluminum elements significantly reduced the weight of the car.

Thus, we can say that German designers were able to harmoniously complement the traditional appearance of the 2018 Volkswagen Touareg with bright and dynamic elements. The sculpted, muscular body has received a large number of chrome parts, which gives the car a more modern appearance... In general, the exterior of the SUV turned out to be more relevant, dynamic, but at the same time refined.

The interior trim looks expensive and sophisticated. It uses elements from expensive natural wood and chrome, parts from modern plastic and natural and artificial leather of the highest quality

The modernized shape of the seats allows you to feel truly comfortable. The front seats are anatomically shaped with good lateral and lumbar support. The seat positions are automatically adjusted.

The rear row of seats can accommodate three passengers. To increase their level of comfort, the creators have provided a separate personal backrest for each passenger. Thus, even long enough trips will not cause fatigue and discomfort.

Another innovation is the multifunctional three-spoke steering wheel... The steering wheel has acquired a sportier shape and is complemented by small touch-sensitive control panels. It is also possible to adjust the position of the steering wheel. Driving is facilitated by the presence of a power steering.

The basic equipment of the optional package is striking in its generosity:
