Get rid of those orange reflectors on your front bumper and replace them with BMW E70 X5 Painted Reflectors for an overall cleaner appearance. These BMW E70 X5 Painted Reflectors are OEM reflectors that are painted by a certified professional with OEM BMW paint. Each order of BMW E70 X5 Painted Reflectors includes one pair of reflectors. NOTE: These Body Colored Reflectors no longer act as a reflector once painted. No orange or red will be visible when installed. By replacing your reflectors with our painted version you are removing all reflective qualities from the area that this product is being installed. This easy installation is a Do-It-yourself project that will take only a couple minutes. No tools are required to pop out your old reflectors and pop these new ones in. These are full replacements so whenever you want to switch back for any need, you can do so just as easily as when you changed these out in the first place.
With the 4XMOTION system, it is also possible to deactivate ESP. On vehicles with air suspension, the "Lock" switch can also prevent unwanted lowering of the vehicle from the Off-Road level to the Normal level by locking the system at 70 km/h. Volkswagen has further developed the Volkswagen Touareg's high-performance running gear with independent suspensions at all four wheels on the second generation of the successful SUV. The basic layout is still characterised by two double wishbone suspension at the front with upper aluminium suspension links and lower steel links. At the rear, the double wishbone suspension has forged aluminium upper links and lower wishbones made of steel. The increased track widths compared to the previous model are 1,656 millimetres in front and 1,676 millimetres in the rear. Like the first VW Touareg, the new version will also offer a standard steel suspension and optional air suspension system. Design changes and more intensive use of aluminium has reduced the weight of the running gear by a considerable 47 kilograms.
To also attain greater responsiveness and even more precise steering, the elasto-kinetics were also optimised, and the rigidity of the suspension joint was increased at the rear suspension. In summary, the Volkswagen Touareg's optimised running gear offers very good vibration control and ride comfort, a low roll angle, responsive handling, excellent dynamic stability and of course very good off-road performance. The running gear of the new VW Touareg with its double wishbone suspensions continues with a proven layout that enables large spring displacements and good wheel lift (4MOTION: 157 millimetres / 4XMOTION: 173 millimetres) in off-road driving. In front, the version with standard steel suspension and 4MOTION also produces an approach angle of 22º; the rear scores points with a 23º departure angle. With the "Terrain Tech" package (4XMOTION), these values increase to 26º each. It gets even more extreme when the Volkswagen Touareg is equipped with an air suspension: In the 4MOTION version, the values are 24º (front) and 25º (rear).
The combination of air suspension and 4XMOTION produces the maximum angle of 33º, front and rear. In alliance with its ground clearance of 220 millimetres, the new Volkswagen Touareg also cuts an excellent figure off of the paved peaks. When the SUV is ordered with the "Terrain Tech" package, buyers enjoy a ride height increased by an additional 10 millimetres in front and 15 in the rear. With the optional air suspension, ground clearance even increases to a maximum of 300 millimetres. Fording depths of 500 millimetres (steel suspension) and 580 millimetres (air suspension) ensure that the fish stay outside of the new VW Touareg too. As an option, Volkswagen is offering an air suspension on the new Touareg once again. Integrated here are an automatic levelling control system and ride height adjustment as well as electronic damper control. The air suspension guarantees exceptional comfort on drives on paved roads and - based on speed-dependent chassis lowering - the dynamic performance properties of a very sporty automobile.
In off-road driving, the air suspension also improves off-road properties while still offering exceptionally good comfort by its variable ride height. As an alternative to the automatic "Normal" mode (lower ride height resulting in reduced Cd value), the driver can select "Comfort" or "Sport" mode. When "Comfort" is selected, the skyhook system essentially aims to compensate in the best possible way for road unevenness, while "Sport" mode, with ride height lowered 25 millimetres, optimises road contact and enhances dynamic performance. Compared to the previous model, the air suspension in the new Volkswagen Touareg has been implemented as a closed system for the first time. This reduces the reservoir volume needed for the air system and permits the use of a smaller compressor. This, in turn, reduces power consumption, since the pressure difference to be overcome by the compressor is significantly lower than in an open system. These combined measures contributed toward reducing the weight of the air suspension by about 20 kilograms. To calibrate the driving properties of the new Volkswagen Touareg more in the direction of "dynamic", there are two other options. First: a sport chassis with stiffer damping.

Wolfsburg, 06 March 2007 - On its new Touareg Volkswagen is introducing one of the cleanest diesel engines in the world: The BlueTDI with SCR catalytic converter. This converter reduces nitrogen dioxide (NOx) emissions by up to 90 percent. The Volkswagen Touareg BlueTDI, that delivers 165 kW / 225 PS, meets even the most challenging exhaust emissions standards. Currently, the lowest limits are set in the US states California, Massachusetts, New York, Vermont and Maine: In the “Tier2 Bin5” standard. The Touareg BlueTDI being presented in Geneva is one of the first vehicles with a diesel engine that can clear this hurdle too. Especially in the USA, economical turbo-diesels like the V6 BlueTDI can contribute, more than any other current powertrain technology, toward reducing oil consumption and the generation of climate-impacting greenhouse gases. Therefore, Volkswagen will be offering the Touareg with SCR catalytic converter starting in 2008, initially in the USA, as part of the BlueTec Alliance started together with Audi and DaimlerChrysler at the end of last year. Also slated for 2008: The company for smaller vehicles like the Volkswagen Jetta will introduce, in America, a NOx storage catalytic converter that eliminates up to 90 percent of nitrogen oxides.
The Golf is undoubtedly the most important product in VW’s huge model range, but nowadays in Paris it’s all about electrification. Taking center stage is the I.D. 2020 with a range varying between 249 miles (401 km) and 373 miles (600 km), depending on battery pack. The concept shares the spotlight in France’s capital with the e-Golf Touch, originally introduced back in January at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. The main difference between the two cars is that the new one is being advertised as having the upgraded battery pack granting a range of up to 186 miles (300 km) based on the New European Driving Cycle. That’s a significant improvement compared to the e-Golf on sale today that will only do 118 miles (190 km) as per NEDC. Much like the aforementioned e-Golf Touch, the refreshed compact hatchback and wagon will gain the Active Info Display from the VW Passat. It’s a 12.3-inch entirely digital instrument cluster that’ll be offered as optional equipment and will replace the analog dials for a more high-tech look. Also previewed by the e-Golf Touch is a larger 9.2-inch infotainment system with support for gesture control. This one too will be offered as optional kit across the Golf range. As far as the other changes are concerned, several leaks (pictured above) have already revealed the styling tweaks will be kept down to a minimum, both inside and out. That's why we are not holding our breath for any major surprises. The plug-in hybrid GTE version available today exclusively as a hatchback might be joined by the more practical wagon body style, but we’ll have to wait for a confirmation from VW.
