As a luxurious crossover SUV without compromise and performing as comfortable off-road as on meticulous highways, the Touareg has enjoyed continued success in the UAE as SUV lovers get a glimpse into the car from the more safety, extra power and better fuel economy aspects.

The new Touareg has been redesigned to offer customers new front and rear designs, new technical features and a wide range of colours and interiors.

It is after all one of the world‘s most successful premium-class SUVs, which combines the best of passenger car comforts and off-road worlds in one model.

The 2015-generation looks attractive with the new front and rear designs and new colours. In terms of technology, all V6 and V8 models now come equipped with an automatic post-collision braking system (helps prevent a secondary collision in case of an accident), bi-xenon headlights and a coasting function.

There is a comfortable feeling driving the car in the refreshed exterior with new technical additions such as the Start-Stop 1.6 with neutral when rolling. The car has a stylish design and smart technology that would appeal to today’s executive women drivers.

The front-end design of the Touareg features bi-xenon headlights as standard and newly designed LED daytime running lights designed to appeal to our feminine side. From the rear, its new, cleanly designed bumper emphasizes the width of the SUV and emphasizes the precise styling of the Touareg.

The interior of the Touareg reflects an extraordinary alliance of rugged SUV elements and sophisticated premium-class elements including aluminium rotary knobs for the Climatronic system, running gear adjustment, air suspension, radio-navigation system, mirror adjustment and the air vent knobs – perfected both to look and to touch.

Above the infotainment system, the central push button/display bar on the centre console is now extended to 5 controls instead of three.

In everyday driving, fuel consumption is also reduced by an optimised stop-start system, a standard coasting function for the V6 versions, which means as soon as the driver releases the accelerator pedal, the engine is decoupled from the gearbox.

As a working mother juggling chores and being a road warrior in Dubai, I am delighted that the boot space has enough room for my shoe rack, gym bag, magazines, writing portfolio and enough space left for a full week’s shopping.

The new Touareg features a luxurious and practical interior, looks great, built well, is economical and strong on performance.

For women who like playing with colours, the Touareg is available in twelve body colours; five of which are new to the model package: “Light Silver Metallic“, “Sweet Date Gold“, “Moonlight Blue Metallic“, “Black Oak Brown Metallic“ and “Reef Blue Metallic“.
