Nearly one million models of the Touareg’s previous generations have been sold across the globe, and the new Touareg “takes a top position in the premium class SUV segment with its expressive design, its innovative operating, convenience and safety systems, as well as in the high quality of its materials and craftsmanship,” according to Volkswagen.
The new Touareg features the Volkswagen Innovision Cockpit, which showcases the 15-inch display of the Discover Premium infotainment system and the 12-inch display Digital Cockpit. Also featured in the new Touareg are innovative driver assist technologies such as Roadwork Lane Assist, Night Vision assistance system, active all-wheel steering, Front Cross Traffic Assistance, and the Windshield Head-up Display that highlights information onto the windscreen.
“Like a new smartphone, the Volkswagen is set up and tuned to personal needs. This is made possible by a new high level of connected systems and programs — controlled via digital interfaces and the multifunction steering wheel,” Volkswagen reports.
