<< Prev Page 2 of 2  The Innovision Cockpit comes as standard in the Touareg R. It consists of the digital instruments (Digital Cockpit, 12-inch screen) and the Infotainment system screen (Discover Premium, 15-inch TFT touchscreen). The driver can access specific information about the Touareg R and the hybrid functions using the energy flow displays in the Infotainment system (showing the battery’s energy reserve, the energy supply to the drive system, and battery charging) and the electric range monitor (showing the electric range, driving profile and the potential to increase the range by deactivating electrical consumers). The combined power meter and rev counter on the left-hand side of the Digital Cockpit shows the current status of the hybrid system. It displays the consumption (under acceleration) or feed-in (under deceleration) of electrical energy, along with the hybrid mode. The remaining electric range and the fuel range are also shown.The new Touareg R is the world’s only SUV plug-in hybrid model with optional trailer manoeuvring system Trailer Assist. The SUV uses Trailer Assist to manoeuvre a trailer back- wards into a parking space or gateway almost automatically. In E-MODE, this process is also silent. To manoeuvre the Touareg R and trailer in reverse, the driver stops behind the parking bay for the trailer and shifts into reverse gear. The system is activated by pressing the “Park Assist” button. The exterior mirror adjustment switch then appears on the display. The driver is instructed how to set the desired steering angle using the mirror switch, which acts as a joystick. As soon as he moves the switch, a symbol with trailer appears on the display. Here the current articulation angle and the articulation angle of the trailer newly set by the driver is displayed. With the aid of the external mirror switch, the driver sets the desired direction of travel of his car and trailer. “Trailer Assist” takes over the specified steering angle. The car and trailer are automatically aligned using the Park Assist control unit in conjunction with the electromechanical steering. In the first manoeuvring phase, the driver selects the articulation angle (up to 75°) to turn in reverse in a certain direction or to drive on a curve. If the trailer is then facing straight in the direction of the target position, the driver finally simply pulls back the mirror adjustment switch. The car and trailer now drive precisely in reverse in the trailer direction without having to still make manual corrections. One of the new features in the Touareg is the optionally available Travel Assist. Until now, this system has made assisted driving possible up to a speed of 210 km/h. But for the first time, on German motorways this assistance is available up to a speed of 250 km/h. Travel Assist relies on systems including ACC Adaptive Cruise Control (longitudinal guidance) and Lane Assist lane keeping system (lateral guidance). Travel Assist is activated using the new multifunction steering wheel. For legal and safety-relevant reasons, drivers must permanently monitor the system – meaning they must have at least one hand on the steering wheel. Thanks to new capacitive sensor technology in the Touareg’s steering wheel, drivers need merely to touch it. The new top model in the product line and brand comes to market with an enhanced and customised range of standard equipment. The otherwise optional R-Line specification package and the Black Style exterior design package, which is also available for other models at extra cost, form the basic matrix of the standard configuration. The exterior package includes R-style bumpers, body-colour bumpers and lower door sections, air intake grilles with black louvres, black trim strips on the side windows and black exterior mirror housings. One especially elegant feature is the radiator grille with black trim strips. In the case of the Touareg R, the package also includes a black trim strip on the lower part of the front bumper, the R logo (in the radiator grille, on the boot lid and on the signets on the front wings and doors) and darkened LED tail light clusters. The 20-inch Braga alloy wheels (black on the inside and burnished on the outside; alternatively in matt grey on the inside and burnished on the outside), body-colour wheel housing extensions and trapezoidal de- sign tailpipes all come as standard. In the interior, the R equipment package consists of the following features – decorative trim on the dash panel and door inserts in Silver Wave aluminium, centre console trim in High Gloss Black and Silver Look, Vienna leather for the comfort seats with leather R logo in the head restraints, stainless steel load sill protection, new leather multifunction steering wheel generation (heated, with paddles, R logo, and button for optional Travel Assist), illuminated stainless steel sill panel trim with R logo, brushed stainless steel pedals and white background lighting. The stitching on the leather seats is finished in Crystal Grey, as are the edging strips on the textile floor mats and the decorative seams on the armrests, selector lever and door trim. The Touareg R will enter the market with an enhanced range of functional equipment in addition to that found in the classic Touareg models. Standard features on board include the Innovision Cockpit with the Digital Cockpit (12-inch digital instruments) and the Dis- cover Premium Infotainment system (15-inch TFT touchscreen), the IQ.Light LED matrix headlights (interactive camera control of dipped and main beam headlights), a tilting and sliding panoramic sunroof and a 4-zone automatic air conditioner (Air Care Climatronic). Within the product line, the traditional Volkswagen R colour Lapiz Blue Metallic (optional) is reserved exclusively for the Touareg R. Additional optional equipment for the new range-topping model include the 21-inch Suzuka wheel rim (burnished or black finish) and the 22-inch Estoril wheel (black and burnished black), available for the first time. Volkswagen R also developed the black Puglia leather interior package exclusively for the Touareg. This natural leather is tanned sustainably using olive oil. One particular visual highlight is the sophisticated yet sporty diamond-shaped stitching on the leather seats, which is also replicated in the door trim. The Puglia leather package also includes Sepang Blue piping in the seat cushion bolsters. The piping ties in with a thin blue decorative seam that stretches the entire width of the dash panel. The head restraints also carry the R logo. The additional highlights that are available as optional equipment in the Touareg include a 780-watt Dynaudio sound system, Night Vision (detects people and animals in the dark using a thermal imaging camera), Travel Assist for the first time (as described, partly auto- mated steering and lane departure warning, acceleration and braking, up to 250 km/h) and Front Cross Traffic Assist (responds to crossing traffic in front of the Touareg). All Touareg models also feature Dynamic Road Sign Display and the lane keeping system Lane Assist as standard. Thanks to a central control unit, the driver experiences all assist systems and integrated technologies such as the IQ.Light LED matrix headlights as a homogeneous unit. The systems are continuously active as electronic assistants to provide un- obtrusive support in the background, making travel safer, more comfortable and more intuitive than ever before. << Prev Page 2 of 2 |
