Volkswagen Touareg 4.9 AT Specs — First Generation Restyling
Bodywork behind the rear axle encloses bumper structure and spare-wheel space too, so the Touareg's rear overhang length alone does not set how deep its load floor runs.

The highest speed a vehicle can sustain under manufacturer test conditions. Some cars are electronically limited below their mechanical potential. Glossary entry
235 km/h
Engine type
Diesel
Transmission
Automatic
Type of boost?
A turbocharger or supercharger compresses the air entering the engine so a smaller engine can produce more power. Naturally aspirated engines draw air without a compressor. Glossary entry
Turbo
Type of drive?
Which wheels receive power: front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. All-wheel drive can send power to every wheel for extra traction. Glossary entry
AWD
Bore and stroke?
The diameter of a cylinder (bore) and the distance the piston travels inside it (stroke). Together they determine the displacement of the engine. Glossary entry
81 × 95.5 mm
Engine capacity?
The total volume swept by all pistons inside the cylinders, usually stated in cubic centimetres or litres. Larger displacement often means more power but higher consumption. Glossary entry
4921 cm³
Engine location
Front, longitudinal
Number of gears?
How many fixed forward ratios a gearbox offers. More gears can improve economy and refinement; continuously variable transmissions have no fixed steps. Glossary entry
6
Maximum power?
A unit of engine or motor output. One metric horsepower is about 0.735 kilowatts. Peak power is normally reached at high engine speed. Glossary entry
350 hp
Maximum power, kw?
A unit of engine or motor output. One metric horsepower is about 0.735 kilowatts. Peak power is normally reached at high engine speed. Glossary entry
257 kW
Compression ratio?
The ratio between the largest and smallest volume of a cylinder as the piston moves. Higher ratios improve efficiency but may require higher-octane fuel. Glossary entry
18.5

Acceleration to 100?
The time a vehicle needs to reach 100 km/h from a standstill, a common shorthand for overall performance. Glossary entry
6.7 s

Valves per cylinder?
The number of intake and exhaust valves in each cylinder. Four valves per cylinder is common and helps the engine breathe at higher speeds. Glossary entry

Engine and Transmission
Diesel fuel ignites from the heat of strongly compressed air rather than from a spark, so injection timing itself decides when the burn starts. All-wheel drive then gives that combustion energy more than one path to the road, through both axles.
Drivetrain and Everyday Driving
A tyre turns torque into travel only by pushing rearwards against the surface, and the road's equal forward push on the contact patch is what actually moves the car. Where an all-wheel-drive system meets ice, that reaction force is missing and the wheel simply turns.
Body and Practicality
Glass in the tailgate of this five-door SUV lets light pass straight through the body's rear wall, so the driver sees the road directly behind. The pillars framing it are load-bearing metal, and vision there depends on looking past them.
