Volkswagen TOUAREG

The register lists 19 versions here with five- to ten-cylinder engines of 2,461 to 4,921 cc displacement, unladen weights from 2,276 to 2,697 kg, gross weights from 2,850 to 3,200 kg and widths from 1,900 to 2,010 mm; for part of the models, outputs of 128 to 230 kW and lengths of 4,750 to 4,900 mm.

The Touareg sits in the premium large-SUV segment alongside the Audi Q7 and Porsche Cayenne; as an N1 commercial vehicle it is common above all in the Netherlands, where trades businesses and small firms benefit from the lower tax burden when registered for cargo rather than passengers, while the Dakar special edition and the plug-in hybrid R mark the performance peak of the newer generations.

On a used example, the turbocharger, intercooler and exhaust aftertreatment on the TDI engines, the high running cost on the V10 TDI, the condition of the air suspension and four-wheel-drive clutch, and corrosion on the axle mounts and underbody all count; for the commercial registration, the mandatory load-bay partition too. Parts run through the VW commercial-vehicle network.
