Volkswagen finds itself in a funny place these days with the Touareg SUV. The German automaker has made clear its intentions to nearly triple its U.S. In pursuit of that goal, it has recently produced two slimmed-down models, the Jetta and the Passat, which have been redesigned and repriced for the U.S. Yet VW is also marketing the Touareg, which sells in tiny quantities at much higher prices. Last year, VW moved just 4,713 of them. The availability of the premium-priced Touareg, VW’s de facto flagship, sends out conflicting signals about the price points for the more economical entries in the product line. It’s not likely to appeal to typical VW buyers, while better-heeled shoppers are more oriented to upscale brands. This year, the problem is exacerbated by the arrival of the Touareg hybrid. 20,000 more even than the base Touareg with a standard V-6 engine. To be fair, VW has loaded up the hybrid with standard equipment like 19” wheels and a navigation system. All of the extra goodies, including the hybrid batteries, add an extra 424 pounds to the already overweight standard model’s 4,711 lbs.
The new vehicle is a full hybrid, making it theoretically capable of traveling one mile — at speeds of up to 30 miles per hour — on batteries alone. In practice, the gasoline engine takes over much earlier in a seamless handoff that helps the Touareg to 60 miles per hour in 6.2 seconds. The Tungsten Silver Metallic test car arrived in the midst of the Great Blizzard of 2011 and performed with aplomb in all kinds of conditions. The 4Motion permanent all-wheel-drive system provided traction on the slipperiest surfaces, the front and rear wipers handled accumulated snow and ice, and the various heaters and defrosters responded robustly. The big disappointment came with the mileage, which is, after all, one of the major reasons to buy a hybrid. While it took 250 miles of driving for the fuel gauge needle to drop to half a tank, the onboard computer indicated I was only getting 17.7 miles per gallon. That’s well below the 20 mpg/city, 24 mpg/highway indicated by the EPA. VW has been criticized for imitating Toyota in its transparent ambition to become the largest auto company in the world. But it could do worse than following Toyota’s example when it comes to hybrid SUV positioning. The Toyota Highlander hybrid is dimensionally similar to the Touareg, though it is lighter and has a smaller engine. 37,490 doesn’t leave the rest of the Toyota range in its shadow. One more thing: Toyota sold 92,191 Highlanders in 2010. Those are the kind of numbers VW is going to have to put up to reach its 2018 goal.
May be a small car but it could well be next big king maker for the company and probably become the successful heir to the original car of the people, the Beetle. May be a small car but it could well be next big king maker for the company and probably become the successful heir to the original car of the people, the Beetle. In fact the very name ‘Volkswagen' literally means 'people's car' and with the addition of the word ‘Up, VW is looking to triumph with the cause of bringing up a peoples car for the next generation. The car made its debut at the 2007 in the form of various concepts. The car has undergone a huge sea of change from the initial Beetle inspired rear engine and rear wheel drive and is now currently going to be launched in the front transverse engine and steering. However the style statement of the car remains true to the concept car with some minute changes to the wheels and some trimming in the looks department.
The car measures just 3.54 meters in length making the Up completely different from the current lot with its unique design, the wheel-at-each-corner stance, the smiley face and the one-piece glass tailgate. It can be specified in a range of trim levels that give the car its own unique character. The Up also gives way for some fun and spice by making way for higher end variants to come with dashboards and door trims that look similar to the shades of the car. The front seats may look narrow but they offer sufficient comfort and support. In spite of its small size and footprint the Volkswagen up is a serious contender for space with its huge headroom and legroom, both at the front and rear. The car comes in two engine variants of three cylinder MPI multi-point fuel injection type. The base level car starts with the horsepower of 60 bhp and the high end variant goes up to 75 bhp. Similar to most small cars the high end bhp car also need some warming up before it can show its true colours.
