Overview

The 2024 Volkswagen Touareg, priced at RM 469,990, is equipped with a 3.0L turbocharged V6 engine and matched with an 8-speed DSG gearbox.

Power System

The vehicle is powered by a 3.0L turbocharged V6 engine, delivering a maximum power output of 340 PS and a peak torque of 450 Nm. Built on the MQB Evo platform and featuring the 4Motion all-wheel-drive system, it provides excellent traction at high speeds. The power delivery is progressive and smooth, with very little noise even in Sport mode. The 8-speed dual-clutch transmission makes acceleration and overtaking effortless.

Fuel Efficiency

In tests combining highway and light city driving, the fuel efficiency is around 13.7 km/l..

Vehicle Dimensions

The trunk space is 810 liters with the rear seats raised and 1800 liters when all are folded down.

Interior Configuration

The Innovision Cockpit features two screens: a 12-inch digital instrument cluster and a 15-inch infotainment display. It supports wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay and includes fast-charging USB-C ports and heated/ventilated seats. The car also comes with standard night vision thermal imaging technology, which offers clear images but could benefit from covering the entire instrument cluster for better visibility. The interior uses a lot of soft-touch materials, and the overall quality meets expectations. However, there are some ergonomic issues, such as the sliding temperature control within the screen, which would be better as physical buttons. The driving mode and suspension control knobs are also difficult to reach while driving. The front seats are heated, ventilated, and offer multi-way adjustment, while the rear seats are also quite comfortable.

Safety System

In off-road mode, there are more wading depth, proactive steep slope descent speed management, and special active safety and gearbox mapping settings.
