If you're looking for a mid-to-large SUV, I've always thought of the Touareg as the benchmark on all the lists. The Touareg, which was born based on the Volkswagen Group's MQB EVO platform, is actually the same as the Q7 Cayenne Urus and even the Bentayga, coupled with the fact that the previous two generations of models have a lot of domestic ownership and have a very good user reputation and owner image, all of which make the Touareg a medium and large SUV with a good balance of technology, performance, brand, and cost performance.
This test drive was the entry-level version of the imported Volkswagen Touareg 20TSI Ruishang Edition, said that the entry version is actually not low at all, if you know about the public, you will know, the height adjustable air suspension Torsen differential full-time four-wheel drive HUD really.
Leather perforated seat ventilation (and it is sucked into the seat) These configurations are often seen only in high-end models, but these configurations are already standard in the entry-level Ruishang version, so the entry is high-end, and it is also in line with the identity of the Touareg as an imported car and flagship model.
A lot of people will be worried2Is the 0t engine not enough to push such a huge body of the Touareg? In fact, the actual experience is not only enough power, but even quite abundant, with ZF's 8AT transmission, not only the shift response is very sensitive, but also in fuel consumption to achieve a better balance. After all, in 2024, plug-in hybrid range extension pure electric vehicles are constantly eating up the market share of fuel vehicles, in fact, the Touareg can still drive about 9-10 liters per 100 kilometers in the morning and evening rush hour in Beijing, and the fuel consumption level is actually very praiseworthy.
Looking at the Touareg's 2The 0TSI engine has a maximum torque of 370 Nm and an acceleration of 6 per 100 km/h9 seconds, in fact, it is already very fast, as long as you are willing to step on the throttle deeply The downshift speed of the gearbox is very fast, the push back feeling of speeding up is very strong and accompanied by a thick acceleration sound, the overall feeling is to drive a car with a very textured mechanical quality, giving people a strong sense of confidence and security, I believe that this is also the main reason why many car owners choose to import Volkswagen and choose Touareg, that is, the driving quality and driving quality are very good.
It is still necessary to say that the seat of the Touareg is so that the shape is decent on the surface, in fact, after sitting for a long time, the overall sitting posture and the cushion support for the body is actually very good, which will not make you feel back pain, and the cushion is relatively long, and the support for the thighs is also relatively in place. In addition, it is worth mentioning that the seat ventilation function is not used for many seat ventilation is to blow air outward, and the version that sucks air into the cushion is more costly, and it is actually more friendly to physical health. Imagine that when you sweat in summer, the pores on your back are open when you sweat a lot, and this time is also the time when you are most susceptible to the invasion of cold evils, so open the seat ventilation at this time, if you blow cold air directly into the pores, it will actually have a certain impact on your health after long-term use.
The workmanship of the Touareg is also impeccable, maintaining the consistent high quality level of Volkswagen, such as this trim strip with a dark pattern of metal brushed grid, which feels very high-end to the touch, and there is also an atmosphere lighting strip integrated with it at night, reflecting the quality and taste that a flagship SUV should have.
Obviously, although there are many new energy and new power models at the same price of the Touareg, the mechanical quality, manufacturing process, and performance of the Touareg are still far from being learned and not learned by new friends, so for users who have faith and consumption habits in the Volkswagen brand and imported Volkswagen brand, when replacing and upgrading a high-quality SUV, the Touareg is actually the most weighty option in your comparison list.
