VW wants to add more. And what the German automaker wants to achieve, it does so with much success at the end. That’s the case with its 2008 VW Touareg 2 V6. This year, this luxurious sports utility vehicle from Volkswagen promises better performance packaged in a more masculine and sporty look.
The 2008 model year for the VW Touareg is the second generation for the model and it has been redesigned to look more sporty as ever. The aesthetic upgrades include a revised front grill and headlight assembly. The reason for these visual updates is to make the Touareg stand out more amongst its kind. And having such that commanding presence, its exudes an aura of being either a large midsize SUV or a small full-size SUV, a great off-road vehicle and a comfortable highway vehicle.
Climbing inside the 2008 VW Touareg (take note: climbing), one will notice a few changes here and there. However, there are still a few features from the first generation which remained such as the useful storage and spacious room. The climate control system and the air conditioning system works efficiently so passengers do not have to worry about their ride not being all relaxing and comfortable. Again, they can benefit from the fresh outside air through the beautifully-designed sunroof without the wind turbulence getting to their last nerve. Great entertainment is freely given by the audio system guaranteeing clear music from the cabin soundproofing, which by the way, is also user-friendly. One of the few changes I mentioned is the comprehensive but easy-to-read instrument panel of the 2008 Touareg model.
the Touareg weighs 2,332 kilos but despite its heavy structure, its acceleration speed is quite fast – zero to 100 kilometers per hour is achieved in a matter of 10.4 seconds. It generates power from its 3.6-liter V6 engine and this power unit is mated to a six-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission. And being one great off-rod vehicle, one can experience its full all-wheel drive capability with just a push of a button.
