Volkswagen Touareg 3.0 AT Specs — Third Generation
A parked Touareg keeps its outline whether or not anyone is beside it, so the mirrors and bumper corners, not the doors, mark where clearance really ends.
3 generation · SUV 5-doors

The highest speed a vehicle can sustain under manufacturer test conditions. Some cars are electronically limited below their mechanical potential. Glossary entry
218 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
83 × 91.4 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
2967 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
8
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
231 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
170 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

Acceleration to 100?
The time a vehicle needs to reach 100 km/h from a standstill, a common shorthand for overall performance. Glossary entry
7.5 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

CO2 emissions?
The amount of carbon dioxide released per kilometre under a standardised test. Lower figures usually go hand in hand with lower fuel consumption. Glossary entry

Engine and Transmission
Combustion keeps releasing heat at every stroke, so even at an unchanged cruising speed the diesel engine must shed it continuously. In an SUV five-door body the coolant carries that heat to the radiator, where airflow removes it rather than letting temperatures climb.
Drivetrain and Everyday Driving
Added weight presses the tyres down, but an automatic transmission still delivers torque through whatever the surface allows. On a loose or wet patch the softer limit is friction, and extra load can equally push a laden axle past what that surface will hold.
Body and Practicality
A pillar blocks a sightline because it is opaque and sits between the eye and the object, not because the surrounding glass is poor. Its width, angle and distance from the driver's head decide how large a hidden wedge it sweeps across.
