The Touareg V6 model is powered by a 276-horsepower, 3.6L direct-injection V6; the engine is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission with Tiptronic, which allows manual gear selection, plus the 4XMOTION all-wheel drive system, oriented for on- or off-road conditions. Touaregs have impressive approach and departure angles and are designed to handle water up to 22.8 inches deep. With the V6, the Touareg boasts improved acceleration, with 0-to-60 times now of 8.3 seconds. The Touareg's interior is luxurious but also utility-minded. Rugged leatherette upholstery is standard, and the rear seat is split 60/40 and folds forward nearly flat for expanded cargo capacity. Four-wheel anti-lock brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD), electronic stability control, and an electronic differential lock are standard on the Touareg, along with engine braking assist (EBA), which helps maintain stability in steep situations. For steep off-road situations, hill descent control and hill climb assist, two other electronic aids, are standard. Has a four-wheel air suspension system, which can help maintain an even load when towing or off-roading. Standard equipment includes dual-zone climate control and aluminum and walnut wood trim.
