2008 Volkswagen Touareg Prices, Reviews & Research!
With a luxurious interior, two high-powered engine options, a clean and
distinctive exterior design, and a long list of luxury features, the 2008
Volkswagen Touareg SUV picture is one of future success in the SUV market.
The most expensive vehicle Volkswagen has ever sold, the new 2008 Volkswagen
Touareg will be the first venture into the fairly well-saturated luxury
SUV market. When the vehicle goes on sale Summer 2008 consumers won't
blink at that Volkswagen Touareg SUV price, considering all of the refinement
and style consistent with a luxury SUV.
By offering the following list of standard features to dispel any
remaining doubt about it's luxury status, perhaps the Touareg picture
is brought into sharper focus:
- Antilock
brakes
- Keyless
entry and starting
- Integrated
navigation/telephone/entertainment center
- Six
airbags
- Four-zone
climate control
Not designed solely as an all-terrain work horse, the 2008 Touareg combines
a car's unibody construction with terrain-smoothing suspension. This enables
the 2008 Volkswagen Touareg to handle dirt trails as well as conveying
five passengers on tarmac in a style they are sure to find downright cushy.
To top off the Touareg's curriculum vitae, it boasts a maximum towing
capacity of 7700 pounds. With its large and imposing presence, Touareg
is appealing visually on the outside and inside, with a just noticeable
hint of the Volkswagen mystique. Part of the proof of Volkswagen Touareg's
luxury billing is in the interior where there is a distinct luxury-car
appearance. There are the obligatory wood finish appointments and thoughtful
layout of standard features. There is ample living room for five adults
plus a large cargo area.
Sporting some of the same engineering heritage as well as the same
platform of the Porsche Cayenne, the 2008 Volkswagen Touareg was developed
by the same engineering team. To further secure Touareg's expected position
at the top of the SUV food-chain, the 2008 Volkswagen Touareg exhibits
the characteristics of a quality SUV, the finesse and comfort of fine
touring sedan, and sports car road handling ability.
Under the hood, Touareg offers a 3.2-liter V6 that produces 220 horsepower
with 225 pound-feet of torque. There is also an available 4.2-liter
V8 that promises 310 horses at 302 lb.-ft. These numbers put the 2008
Volkswagen Touareg at the pinnacle of the luxury SUV class. Touareg
puts power to the wheels through an ultra-cool all-wheel-drive system.
With the suspension of the 2008 Touareg catering to the sport sedan
set, there is double wishbones at all four corners, with an optional
air-suspension system to add extra ground clearance when necessary.
We will have to wait and see what promise the future will hold for
the 2008 Volkswagen Touareg luxury SUV. This is a gamble for Volkswagen,
who also intends to introduce its large luxury automobile, the Phaeton
this year. Success of the Touareg may well be a reliable predictor of
how well the Phaeton is accepted by a public who, up till now, viewed
Volkswagen as a manufacturer of less expensive smaller vehicles.
