Bi-Xenon Headlights with Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS) II
More energy efficient than halogen, they emit a powerful bluish-white light. Also, all Bi-Xenon headlights feature a built-in leveling and steerable light system. They turn as you turn. So whether you're on the road or off it, you'll better see what's around the corner.

Keyless Access
Because of a special transmitter built into the key fob, all you have to do is walk up to your Touareg and the doors will unlock for you automatically. Once you're inside, all you have to do is step on the brake and press the start button. And then, vroom.

Multi-Function Mirrors
They aren't just side view mirrors anymore. They fold in if you need a little extra room, plus they're heated. They also have a floodlight feature, which lights up when you lock or unlock the doors, so you don't step in some goop hiding in the shadows.

Auxiliary Input Jack
This little hole makes your VW a lot cooler. The auxiliary input is located inside the center armrest of your Touareg (if you got the Nav option). You can plug in your iPod® and listen to it through your Touareg's stereo.
Optional In: VR6 FSI®, TDI
-
Dual-Zone Climatronic®
The Touareg comes standard with dual-zone climate control, which makes it possible to control two different cabin temperatures, one for the driver and one for the passengers. And since everyone's perfect atmosphere is different, there are separate controls for the passengers and driver.
Standard In: VR6 FSI®, TDI
-
Dynaudio®
The available Dynaudio® stereo features 10 high-end speakers (four tweeters, two mid-range and four woofers) and 600 watts. It's even got Digital Sound Processor (DSP) technology built in. Wind noise has no chance to be heard.

Multi-Function Steering Wheel
The multi-function steering wheel can be adjusted up and down and in and out to the perfect position for you. You've even got control of the audio system, cruise control and the multi-function onboard computer right at your fingertips. So, you can keep your hands on the wheel. A good thing while driving.

RNS-510 Navigation System
The RNS-510 Navigation System is a multimedia hub designed for more than just guiding your way. This powerful system has an integrated 30GB hard drive ready to play any audio CDs or DVD movies. Or, link your MP3 player with the built-in MEDIA-IN USB port.

Trip Computer
The Multi-Function Indicator is a trip computer that monitors your trip time, trip length, average trip speed, average trip fuel consumption, current fuel consumption and distance to empty. It also lets you adjust settings for vehicle unlocking, exterior mirror synchronization, language, measurement units, exterior headlights coming home and leaving home, tire pressure monitoring system, speed warning, time setting and interior lighting. Phew. All that from just a few clicks on the steering wheel.

4XMOTION®
The VW permanent four-wheel drive system provides balanced, stable road handling on any type of ground surface. It reacts faster and more effectively than any professional driver would be able to.

-
Climbing Capacity
Steep is a relative term. With factory rated 45-degree climbing capacity on all trim lines, the Touareg was built from the ground up to turn mountains into molehills.
Standard In: VR6 FSI®, TDI
-
Electronic Stabilization Program (ESP®)
In conjunction with the ABS, ASR and EDL, plus additional sensors, the Electronic Stabilization Program helps the driver maintain their intended course during evasive maneuvering, like avoiding an accident, by applying brake pressure to specific wheels.
Standard In: VR6 FSI®, TDI
-
Fording Depth
Your Touareg can plow through 19.7* inches of water without any leakage into the vehicle. Good to know during monsoon season.
Optional In: VR6 FSI®, TDI
*Maximum fording depth of Touareg. NEVER enter water that has a current, or where you do not know the depth.
-
Ground Clearance
Eight inches of ground clearance helps make your Touareg's off-road capabilities possible. Perfect for deep snowdrifts, downed tree trunks or speed bumps on steroids.
Optional In: VR6 FSI®, TDI
-
Towing Capacity
You can tow up to 7,716 lbs. of whatever you need to with your Touareg. Hopefully it has something to do with a big fish you caught.

Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) Plus
Yes. Plus. We've helped shorten the braking distance on loose roadbeds by up to 20 percent. It's a world first. How did we do it? The Touareg is designed to push a portion of the roadbed material under the temporarily locked wheels. A type of chock is formed as road debris builds. This enhances the braking function and shortens the braking distance without negative effects on steerability.
Standard In: VR6 FSI®, TDI
-
Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR)
Anti-Slip Regulation helps prevent wheel slippage at all speeds and denies engine power in situations when wheel slip is detected. So, balance and equal traction are never compromised.*
Standard In: VR6 FSI®, TDI
*Obey all speed and traffic laws.
-
Crash Optimized Front End
The crash optimized front end has impact-absorbing elements, which are integrated into the front structure. These elements allow compression of the front structure during impact. We don't just watch out for our cars, we watch out for each other. It's designed so the energy on impact goes into the car and not you.
Standard In: VR6 FSI®, TDI
-
Intelligent Crash Response System (ICRS)
Once a certain severity of crash is detected and airbags* have deployed, the Intelligent Crash Response System automatically unlocks all doors, disconnects the battery terminal from the alternator cable, shuts off the fuel supply and turns on the warning hazards and interior lights. It's called "Intelligent" for a reason.
Standard In: VR6 FSI, TDI
*Airbags are supplemental restraints only and will not deploy under all crash circumstances. Always use safety belts and seat children only in the rear, using restraint systems appropriate for their size and age.
-
Pinch Protection on Power Windows
Every VW is equipped with power windows. It's not because we think you're lazy, it's because we think you deserve it. And they all have pinch protection, which helps reduce the risk of injury to a set of unsuspecting fingers when the windows are closing.
Standard In: VR6 FSI®, TDI
-
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Every 30 seconds, the tire pressure monitoring system checks if any tire is losing air. And through a warning indicator on the instrument panel, you'll be the first to know if a tire is low on air. Well, second to know. Just after the Tire Pressure Monitoring System.
Standard In: VR6 FSI®, TDI

Good Clean Diesel Fun.
The Volkswagen Touareg may be an SUV, but it runs on ultra-low sulfur diesel. That means it has 97% less sulfur content, radically reducing emissions. But it doesn't stop there. The 225 horsepower and 406 pounds of torque aren't spared, even as the TDI Clean Diesel engine reduces up to 90% of sooty emissions. That raises your carbon conscious level to 100%.
