At 421 ps, the V8 TDI engine fitted on the new Touareg makes the model the most powerful diesel SUV available in Germany. Reason enough for the Germans to ask €89,825 for one. On Tuesday, Volkswagen opened the order books for the new model promising 900 Nm of torque to go with the 421 ps troop and a wealth of features to make it a desirable car on the European market. The standard equipment fitted on the car includes 19-inch Tirano alloy wheel rims, automatic headlight control, leather seats and four-corner air suspension, among others. For the interior, Volkswagen created two design packages, Elegance and Atmosphere. The former’s main trait is the use of metal elements and matching colors where ever possible, while the latter is based on the deployment of wood and natural tones. The carmaker’s R-Line equipment options are also available for the Touareg V8 TDI. The price mentioned earlier is only the starting point for the model, as a long list of optional equipment can bring the tally closer to the 100,000 euro mark. Volkswagen’s Night Vision system that uses a thermal imaging camera to detect life signs on the road, partly assisted steering with lane departure warning and all-wheel steering are just a few of the extras customers can add to the list. The Touareg nameplate has lost a lot of its appeal in time. At its peak, in the time immediately following its launch (2004 and 2005), the car sold over 40,000 units per year, only to get lost in an avalanche of other VW-branded SUVs.

The basic tuning of this suspension is already sporty, but more comfortable than a conventional sport suspension. Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC). The system utilises a radar sensor integrated at the front end. The desired vehicle speed can be specified over a range from 30 to 160 km/h. ACC works with either a manual gearbox or with DSG (dual-clutch gearbox). In all Polo cars with DSG, when the vehicle ahead comes to a stop the ACC system comfortably brakes the Polo to a full stop as well. ACC maintains the prescribed vehicle speed together with a preselected distance to the vehicle ahead, and it brakes or accelerates automatically in flowing traffic. Drivers can individually vary the system dynamics by selecting a specific driving programme. If the new Polo is ordered with ACC, it gets the Front Assist ambient traffic monitoring system as well as City Emergency Braking. As an alternative, a module that includes Front Assist and City Emergency Braking may be ordered separately, i.e. without ACC.
Front Assist ambient traffic monitoring system. Front Assist utilises a radar sensor integrated at the front end to continually monitor the distance traffic moving ahead. Front Assist assists the driver in critical situations by preconditioning the braking system and outputting visual and acoustic warnings to inform the driver. In a second stage, it emphasises the need to react by a short warning jolt of the brake. If the driver brakes with insufficient pressure, the system can generate a braking pressure that is necessary to avoid a collision, which may be significantly higher. If the driver does not react at all, Front Assist brakes automatically - if necessary until the Polo reaches a standstill. The system also assists the driver by warning if there is insufficient distance to the vehicle ahead. One component of Front Assist is City Emergency Braking. City Emergency Braking is a system extension of Front Assist. It monitors the space in front of the Volkswagen by radar sensor. The system operates at speeds below 30 km/h.
