Its combination of power and torque are enough to hurl it to 100km/h in less than five seconds.
While Volkswagen hasn’t quoted any consumption figures for the Touareg R, the same powertrain in the Cayenne version manages 3.2 litres/100km.
With all of its torque delivered by its eight-speed automatic transmission, the Touareg R always starts off in electric mode, switching on the petrol motor beyond 140km/h, on a kickdown system or when the driver chooses its Sports performance mode. It’s also the first Volkswagen to offer assisted driving features at up to 250km/h, a development that will help almost nobody outside Germany.
