Volkswagen Korea has officially begun the sequential delivery of the flagship SUV, the 2023 Touareg, to customers starting today.
Born from the culmination of German engineering technology and know-how, the Touareg is Volkswagen’s first SUV and the model that set the history of Volkswagen Group’s premium SUVs in motion. Over its 20-year journey since release, the third generation of the Touareg has undergone continuous innovations to establish itself as a more advanced premium SUV. This model shares the MLB Evo platform with Volkswagen Group’s top-tier brands’ premium large SUVs like the Lamborghini Urus, Bentley Bentayga, and Porsche Cayenne.
The 2023 Touareg boasts a powerful performance from its new V6 3.0 TDI engine and offers unparalleled comfort based on its air suspension, a feature difficult to experience in its class. It is equipped with cutting-edge safety and convenience features like the IQ.LIGHT LED matrix headlights and the IQ.DRIVE system, showcasing improved product competitiveness compared to previous models.
Despite its rich specifications and strong performance compared to its competitors, the starting price of the 2023 Touareg is from 80 million KRW, setting a standard of premium that only Volkswagen can deliver, thus expanding its presence in the domestic flagship SUV market.
The 2023 Touareg is now equipped with a newly developed ‘EA897 evo3 V6 3.0 TDI’ engine featuring the innovative ‘twin-dosing technology’ system with two SCR catalytic converters.
The new V6 3.0 TDI engine delivers an impressive performance of 286 horsepower and a maximum torque of 61.2 kg·m, thanks to its combination with an all-wheel-drive system and an 8-speed automatic transmission, providing efficient and powerful driving capabilities in any environment, whether urban or off-road. The Touareg’s combined fuel efficiency is 10.8 km per liter, with 9.6 km per liter in city driving and 12.8 km per liter on highways.
The 2023 Touareg features ‘air suspension’ that optimizes body height depending on the driving mode, as well as an ‘all-wheel steering’ system that adjusts the rear wheel’s steering angle in harmony with the front wheels. This dual capability allows the luxury SUV to deliver an exciting driving experience as well as a comfortable ride on all terrains.
Additionally, advanced safety and convenience features have been introduced, and specifications previously exclusive to higher models have been expanded across all trims, further enhancing the premium SUV aspect of the vehicle.
