2006 NY Auto Show
Every Touareg is equipped with Volkswagen 4Motion® permanent all wheel-drive system with adaptive torque distribution for proven, unbeatable vehicle control and performance in all weather and driving conditions, whether on- or off-road.
A six-speed automatic transmission with Tiptronic® selectable shifting plus a
Dynamic Shift Program (DSP) to learn and replicate driving and shifting patterns is also standard.
For drivers who prefer the smooth and consistent power and performance of a V8, the Touareg V8 offers a slightly bigger 4.2-liter, 254-cu. inch engine that makes 310 horsepower at 6,200 rpm and 302 lbs.-ft. of torque from 3,000 to 4,000 rpm.
For the ultimate in big-displacement engines, the low volume, but high excitement Touareg V10 TDI, a high tech diesel, is one of the largest, most powerful SUVs on the road. The 5.0-liter, 300.2 cu. inch ten-cylinder, twin-turbocharged direct injection diesel engine punches out 310 hp at 3,750 rpm and an astounding 553 lbs.-ft. of torque at just 2,000 rpm.
