Details of the Touareg R
Exclusive elegance on the exterior
The revamped Touareg R eHybrid version takes the elegant look of its predecessor and takes it even further. The iconic appearance of the new model is extended with selected design elements. Experience the unique look with recognition value!
Sporty ambience
The interior of the new Touareg R eHybrid shines with new, illuminated premium look decorative elements. A further highlight is the new aluminium decorative trim, perfectly complementing the lighting. Soft door trims and a soft centre console cover with double seams, among other features, ensure a top quality look.
"E mode" and "Hybrid"
With a sufficiently charged battery the Touareg R always starts in the all-electric “E mode”. For more power and speeds exceeding 140 km/h, the V6 TSI kicks in automatically. It works the other way round in “Hybrid” mode: If required, the driver uses the kick-down function to additionally demand the all-electric power as a “boost”.
Via the 4MOTION Active Control menu in the updated Innovision Cockpit the driver has direct access to the hybrid functions “E mode” and “Hybrid”. By touching “E mode”, the Touareg R eHybrid switches to all-electric mode below 140 km/h and with enough charging in the battery – by selecting “Hybrid” mode, the driver chooses the interplay of V6 and Boost.
Connectivity
The Touareg. Staying connected with the world.
With a host of VW Connect services available to you, you can decide on full connectivity from the outset. Once you have completed the one-off activation process and signed in with your Volkswagen ID, it is incredibly easy to use our free, innovative online services.
VW Connect not only makes your everyday life with your Volkswagen more pleasant, but also more convenient. It allows you to access important vehicle information and offers valuable convenience with Breakdown Call or Service Scheduling.
And with the Volkswagen App for your smartphone, you have important information about your Volkswagen at a glance even when out and about: for example, you can check the remaining range or that all doors and windows are closed.
Discover new possibilities – whether on the road or digitally
The entire world of Volkswagen digital services takes connectivity in your Touareg to a higher level: VW Connect Plus offers additional smart technologies as an option.
These include intelligent navigation, which provides you with up-to-date traffic information on route changes virtually in real time, or where you can find warnings regarding traffic disruptions. The Online Map Update ensures that your maps are always up to date. Meanwhile, the latest information about filling station prices and available spaces in car parks means that you will arrive feeling more relaxed. And the Internet Radio service ensures that your vehicle provides the full benefits of online radio. This makes searching for and playing live channels and podcasts fun and easy.
Infotainment and entertainment for every occasion
For convenient use of apps and content, the optional App-Connect is ideal. Music, news, maps or audio books are transmitted to the display of the infotainment system and can therefore be used within your field of vision. Two interfaces are possible for connecting smartphones: Apple CarPlay and Android Auto from Google. Wireless connection for the optional Discover Media and Discover Pro navigation systems as well as the Ready 2 Discover radio makes usage particularly convenient.
