Design

While new design trails weren't blazed, from most angles, the Touareg offers generic SUV looks with familiar VW markings. However, it’s loaded with engineering features almost unimaginable in a passenger car even a few years ago, including a completely new self-supporting body.
The frame is distinct, the supporting framework and the body structure form an inseparable unit. This provides superior static rigidity, which lends not only high speed stability but also severely limits the amount of twisting or flex experienced in extreme off-road situations.
The Touareg’s design incorporates high static and dynamic rigidity (body stiffness). To illustrate: An Audi A8 sedan, which provides a comfortable and stable ride at very high speed, has a stiffness rating of 42 hz. The BMW X5 – widely considered to be the best handling SUV in the world – has a rating of 35hz. The Touareg has a rating of 40hz. This means it should handle better than an X5 and almost as well as an A8 sedan. Incidentally, a typical SUV has a stiffness rating of 22 – 25hz.
The Touareg’s all-round performance capability is nothing short of astonishing. Besides sports sedan-like body stiffness, all Touaregs come with 4Xmotion - VW’s permanent 4WD, which includes low range gearing and adaptive torque distribution. An automatic center lock differential is standard. A rear-locking differential, essential for serious off-roading, is optional.

Safety

With the new Touareg, Volkswagen is introducing an off-road vehicle which sets the highest standards for active and passive safety. From the perspective of active safety, the running gear — with single-wheel suspension, optional CDC air suspension, 4XMOTION four-wheel drive, commanding braking, ESP, braking assistant, and details such as an optional tyre-pressure control system (TPC) — shows that even the safety reserves of a luxury sedan can be achieved with a luxury off-road vehicle. The same is true for active safety.
Even its appearance, with a low centre of gravity, shows that compatibility with smaller vehicles and pedestrian protection are important design considerations for this SUV. Volkswagen is not even offering a bull bar for the front end.
