SUV Volkswagen Touareg The 2nd generation debuted in 2010, and in April 2014 a restyled version of the new model was presented at the Beijing Auto Show.
Sales of the "refreshed" Volkswagen Tuareg II on Russian market started in the spring of 2015
Exterior
In the process of restyling, the SUV received a retouched appearance. At the front, there are revised head optics, a new front bumper and a redesigned grille.
The front end of the flagship Volkswagen Tuareg 2017-2018 in a new body is made in the style traditional for the models of the German brand. It is expressed in a convex bonnet, twin head optics with an aggressive design, connected by a relatively simple grille with chrome-plated horizontal ribs and a large logo in the center.
In the lower part we have a large slot of another grille, on the sides of which there are air intakes, and under them, at the very bottom, there are small fog lights.
Side part of the new Volkswagen models The 2017 Touareg looks relatively simple, but through a range of solutions, it demonstrates that we are dealing with a large and premium car.
Of course, rims look expensive big size and chrome glazing combined with decorative strips at the bottom of the doors. The "muscular" hind wings and tapering side windows as well as a sloping roofline.
The rear of the Volkswagen Touareg 2017-2018 new model begins with a small antenna "fin", a rather large spoiler visor and a square tailgate that occupies almost the entire stern area.
The lights are divided into two parts: one on the C-pillar, the other on the tailgate. At the very bottom of the bumper are integrated trapezoidal exhaust tips of a relatively large size, hinting at the power of an SUV.
Interior
The salon of the new Volkswagen Tuareg 2017 has changed slightly during the renovation. Instead of the red button illumination, it is now white, there is real aluminum in the edging of the "twists", new options and finishing materials have been added.
In front of the driver leather multifunctional three-spoke wheel with ergonomic grips. Behind it is a traditional dashboard with two large saucers of the speedometer and tachometer - between them information display, and at the bottom along the edges there are two more small devices.
The center console of the Volkswagen Touareg II in the 7P5 body begins with several function buttons, under which is the infotainment system screen with a control unit that includes a "twist" and buttons below it.
Below, a new zone begins with a car climate control unit. Further the transmission selector lever, as well as the control of driving and off-road characteristics.
If we talk about the level of comfort in general, then Tuareg is in order with this. The cabin is spacious and comfortable, with an excellent level of noise insulation and suspension softness. Complaints are only caused by the speed of the multimedia system.

So, Volkswagen Taureg (or Tuareg?) 3.6 V6 FSI 249 hp in a complete set for 2,470 thousand was bought in December 2012 with all discounts for 2,050 thousand. It was the Great Discount Time. More on Tuaregs were not thrown off, neither at the end of 2013, nor now, when a restyled device is expected. It seems that today they are throwing off a maximum of 200 thousand. At that time, I put my old man Pajero3 in trade, a diesel engine on mechanics, took a pure symbolic loan in a car dealership and insured myself for 72 thousand in the same place. These were the terms of the discounts. I also took special stages for about a hundred. In response, the salon presented rubber mats for the interior and trunk, winter tires Hakku7, free tire fitting and installation registered with the traffic police. The number went to 848 with my initials of name and patronymic. This is destiny? On this, we parted with a car dealership for sale and purchase like ships at sea. Then I visited him three times - for MOT every 15 thousand km. Now the run is approaching fifty dollars. Our Iron Horse did not give us any problems. I constantly wander at work (real estate business) along the highways of the Leningrad region, sometimes I go off the road in summer and winter, but without much fanaticism, I have a car without pneuma. Often with passengers and luggage. Once a year I visit my mother from St. Petersburg in the Chelyabinsk region. 249 horses are enough for the eyes anytime, anywhere. 8-speed gearbox, shifting smoothly, the number of the currently included gear is shown on the display. Once a year I visit my mother in the Chelyabinsk region. I consider the Tuareg to be the best among classmates for handling at speed. The minimum consumption once in the summer on the highway at a speed of 100 - 110 km / h was 8 liters per hundred. The maximum in winter reached 17 liters in the city. I have a tank of 100 liters, enough from St. Petersburg to Moscow. (it depends on how you drive ...) As for the quality Kaluga assembly no complaints, except for the noise from under the arches. Somehow a friend specifically compared the assembly with his Grand Cherokee dorestayling. So, I declare authoritatively - our native Kaluga assembly of Tabureg is of a much high-quality enemy American Grand Cherokez! :) If you have any doubts, take a look at the profile site. There are a lot of topics for the build quality. There are already two real owners of Gr. Cherokee moved to Tuaregs. But, outwardly, I like the Grand Cherokee more. I had Pajero3 for almost four years, I got out of the car, closed it, walked away and always turned around ... (so see if she turned around). :)) I leave Taureg, close it and just leave. No emotions, just now I started to get used to it. Why I bought it - my wife really liked it. and the Great Discounts played a role. We love freebies, however! A multimedia screen measuring 6.5 cm diagonally, a touchscreen, there were no problems with it. Electric trunk drive - you can adjust the door lift height, very convenient if you drove up close to loading. In winter, the interior warms up very quickly. Heated steering wheel and windshield pleases. Although the last winters in St. Petersburg were not very frosty. By the way, my wife quickly got used to our Tabureg, quickly parks and turns around thanks to the sensors. Recently, we urgently and successfully sold the spouse Nissan Qashqai, 2011 with a run of almost forty years, 2 liters on the variator. Qashqaychik did not deliver any problems to us, we just needed money quickly to twist for another real estate transaction... And we share with her my "Das auto" in - honest, pa - boy. Twice a week my wife travels from the center of St. Petersburg to work in the suburbs, in the city of Sestroretsk (she is a doctor), exactly 45 km from home to her hospital, mostly without traffic jams. The rest of the happy ones should have been mine. I wanted the best! In general, my wife quickly got used to good things and my days are getting less and less. And I began to get used to the metro, since we live in the city center. This worries me, I need to quickly buy something for her. :)
There is nothing more to write about. If you have any questions, I will answer.
I will add my review with my torment over the change of my Faithful Horse named Tabureg. There are many bookffs in the text with some lyrical digressions:
Strengths:
- Controllability
- Reliability
- Build quality

Review Volkswagen Touareg 3.0 V6 TDI (Volkswagen Tuareg) 2010 Part 3
Hello, dear forum users and guests of this resource!
I am writing the third and last part about my wonderful car. Two years and a year ago I described it, so I probably don’t need to spend special time and your attention on what I have already mentioned. general impressions and thoughts of a car that he owned for more than three years.
So, I bought it from a test drive, with a mileage of almost 7500 and a discount of 300,000, in a very decent complete set. The car is not alone. In the first year of operation, I finished building the house, carrying a bunch of little things on the Tuareg, whoever built it will understand what I mean, then it was unloaded first by the UAZ, then by Elka. In the first year I went on a winter hunt, of course, to the hunting place, well, and then it got to the UAZ and Elke. I went to the city and the intercity. I went in the winter at -36, well, in the summer, I went to the snow and ice. Served only by the OD , somewhere after 8-9t.km, deliberately did it more often, because diesel fuel in our country is not very good ... I refueled mainly at LUKoil, in winter I refilled antigel. The car did not fail in three years never. handling of the car, well, and probably luck, for three years the car has never even scratched.
Strengths:
- Versatility
- Diesel engine
- 8 speed automatic transmission
- Profitability
- Sufficient level of comfort

The presence of air suspension will make any trip very soft and comfortable, and on the off-road it will add off-road points. The already large ground clearance can increase from pneumatic to 30 cm. Best car from this price category will appeal to respectable, confident people who love fast, comfortable driving and off-road adventures.
Volkswagen Touareg II review:
The second generation Tuareg production facilities are located in Slovak Bratislava and Russian Kaluga. Inside this SUV, the luxurious and expensive interior immediately attracts attention. Comfortable leather chairs, high-quality finishing material dashboard and all the elements of the interior is admirable. All handles and controls are close at hand, despite the large capacity. Sit on driver's seat pleasant and convenient, on long journeys the driver will be very comfortable, like all passengers.
On the road this SUV behaves very confidently, smoothly and smoothly. The speed is picking up quickly and imperceptibly. On high speeds about 150-200 km / h behaves very decently. This will be especially appreciated by amateurs. driving fast and long distance travel. When you drive for a long time on the track, you don't even feel tired.
All bumps are smoothed out by air suspension, the interior remains unshakable. With such a soft suspension in a comfortable mode, even begins to want to sleep, switching to normal mode can correct this situation and cheer up a little. Tuareg holds the road perfectly, permanent four-wheel drive and the work of all electronic stabilization systems makes driving safe. There are absolutely no problems with overtaking on the track, the acceleration is more than sufficient, and a good reserve of power is felt. Any "mess" on the road and loose snow Tuareg passes without even looking back, as if they did not exist at all.
Of the shortcomings uncomfortable side mirrors can be noted. They are small, so there is a lack of visibility. For a large SUV, the information content of the side mirrors is important. When reversing, this is compensated by the presence of a rear view camera and parking sensors. When driving on roads in the city and on highways, this can be inconvenient. It is compressed by the presence of a blind zone monitoring system, LEDs are located on the mirrors, which light up when there is a car in the blind zone.
Power Volkswagen Touareg
Capacities Volkswagen Touareg is enough thanks to V6 and V8 engines from 3.6 to 4.2 liters. Even in the V6 configuration with minimum power gasoline engine 3.6L, 249bhp, you won't feel any lack of traction. Tested, it pulls excellently as well, but slightly worse than 280 hp, there is not much difference, but the tax is paid less (up to 250 hp). Also, this equipment fits into the price of up to three million rubles, so you will not have to pay the increased amount of the tax introduced at the beginning of 2014.
In addition to gasoline and diesel engines, the trim levels also include hybrid engine - the first in the whole Volkswagen history... The principle of operation of a hybrid is a dry clutch between a three-liter gasoline engine and an electric motor. Electronic system with the help of this clutch, it connects the desired motor, so the changes are almost invisible. If you are driving quietly, the power of the petrol engine is not needed, the electric motor works.
In the luggage compartment under the floor there is accumulator battery, which either powers the electric motor, or recharges during normal operation. Only electric can accelerate to a speed of 50 km / h and drive up to two kilometers. Work electric motor is not audible, it is quiet in the car and it is possible to determine that it is started only by the instruments. This saves fuel and reduces emissions.
Transmission:
Transmission in all trim levels it is installed as an automatic tiptronic with 8 gears. When driving, the electronics skillfully shifts gears with the calculation of fuel economy and the creation of the desired torque. The gearbox is adaptive. This means that it adjusts the settings to suit your riding style. Therefore, to "warm up" it, you need to actively press the gas pedal.
Gear changes are smooth and jerky. When starting off, after pressing the gas pedal, there is a slight delay before the box engages first gear. Then you have to "catch" the speed for the desired acceleration. Therefore, in traffic jams or in tight traffic, the gas pedal must be handled with care.
So, new volkswagen The Touareg II is a very powerful, safe, reliable, comfortable SUV in which long trips fly by imperceptibly, and the off-road becomes an easy obstacle on the way to adrenaline and joy. A real man's car.

Video review of the car Volkswagen Touareg II:
Test drive Volkswagen Touareg II in the program "AutoItogi", review off-road qualities, driving on clay, mud, on ups and downs, as well as driving on asphalt:
Another test drive Volkswagen Touareg R-Line in the show "Moscow rules":
Have you driven Taurege? What are your impressions? Have you had any experience of any repair, breakdown? What can you say about the quality and reliability of this SUV? Have you ever got stuck on it so that you couldn't get out?
Majority Volkswagen problems The Touareg was decided by the first restyling. The second generation is almost flawless ...
There is, perhaps, only one European SUV, which survived both stunning popularity and fair streams of negativity. This is a Mercedes-Benz ML.
But today's conversation will focus on VW Touareg, which "got nuts", including from me personally, who broke the front CV joint while timidly trying to hang out on a stone as high as a child's ball. But how expected the first SUV from Volkswagen! How proudly Ferdinand Piech walked at the company's stand during the first show in Paris in 2002. And there was something to be proud of! Excellent behavior on asphalt, comfortable ergonomic interior, good cross-country ability. All this determined the popularity, which in turn revealed a lot of congenital defects. It is clear that the owners themselves are largely to blame, who are not too versed in the intricacies. modern SUVs and trying to operate the Touareg like some Jeep Rangler Rubikon. The cross-country ability of the German all-wheel drive is really decent, the set of off-road options inspired and provoked, but the margin of safety and reliability of some nodes was at the level of crossovers. The designers took into account almost all the complaints, preparing the second generation Touareg, which was released in 2010. They say that the most common and unpleasant drawback of the new Touareg is the splash of diesel fuel in a half-empty tank, which can be heard even by neighbors downstream. Is it so?
Skip the first year of the VW Touareg II and go for it. The car will not disappoint!
HIGHER CAPACITY!
The first major update touched the Volkswagen Touareg in 2007, when the main "childhood diseases" were eliminated, and in 2010 it was released new model, in the range of which there was a version without a "lowering" and with a Torsen differential in transfer case... A separate column was a hybrid, but it is so rare that it is simply impossible to collect any sane statistics on it. By the way, in fact, it was also a crossover.
The new Touareg is 41mm longer, 12mm wider, and 38mm wider. wheelbase... For Europe and Russia, a line of five motors, including a hybrid, has been preserved. An 8-speed automatic appeared, which delivered some headache owners, despite the eminent origin, because the transmission was developed by the great and invincible Aisin. And even in the first year, oddly enough it sounds after the mention of the eliminated shortcomings of the first generation, electronics spoiled a lot of blood. At the same time, it was not the control units that failed, but the vast periphery. Literally everything could fail - from the controller of the pre-heater and the contacts of lighting devices to those that suddenly appeared and disappeared when trying to diagnose "leaks to ground". As at one time, preference should be given to the spring version, so in the second generation you should not chase electronic bells and whistles. Even xenon should be avoided if you do not want to be left without light on the track. And it becomes very insulting when the system fails keyless entry... Fortunately, the name is conditional and there is still a key in the key fob-transponder. But if you remember how much you had to pay for this option ... Moreover, more often it simply "slows down", and if you wait a couple of seconds, then most likely the locks will work. Or maybe not ... The battery will somewhat correct the situation larger capacity, because it is precisely because of the rapid loss of charge in our long and dark winters that troubles with electronic equipment appear.
No one doubts the excellent off-road properties of the VW Touareg. But you need to use them wisely
WE ARE WHAT WE EAT
Do not try to find in the new Touareg probe - it has become electronic. Moreover, he can show the weather on Mars, and in a second the value of pi up to the 18th decimal place ... But the main problem diesel engines VW Touareg is not in it, but in the use of not very high-quality fuel, which can still be found on the periphery. The most popular 3.0-liter engine has sinned most of all. Until 2011 (when the program of the control unit was changed and the injection pump was modified), he “drove the shavings”. At one time, SUVs with engines of the CASA series fell under a revocable campaign, but the owners of CJMA diesel engines can only get lucky on service maintenance... To the credit of the concern's minders, it should be noted that problems in winter have Touareg second generations can arise only if you fill up with a very “diesel diesel fuel”. The normal winter diesel fuel digestible even without being marked with the Euro brand. Do not be afraid of its smell in the cabin either. It usually leaks fuel filter, which will cost 3000 rubles. with gasket. It is important that it is either OEM or a trusted manufacturer. In general, there are no global difficulties with the second generation Touareg engines. Unless the front oil seal can begin to leak slightly in V6s (both petrol and diesel). However, this is a feature of many "sixes" and should not be very scary.
The salon can be disappointing. Squeaks, crackles and alarming blinking of indicators - the price for the lightness and complexity of the design
EIGHT IN A ROW
The chassis, suspension and drivetrain can be pretty nerve-wracking for the owner of a Touareg from 2010 to 2011. As before, the air bellows may begin to bleed air through the connections. This usually happens in cold weather and is most likely due to differences in expansion coefficients. different materials... The Touareg most often falls on one wheel, and does not fall on the axle, as, say, the Discovery of the second family. You can find a leak only on the "side", so it is treated by pulling everything and everything.
