The active instrument display is superb, and you also get premium audio and satellite navigation, a whopping It really is a must-have if the budget can cover it — just for the screens alone. The V6 is, in fact, a classic case for why Toyota needs one in between the four-cylinder and eight-cylinder oilers it offers in its 4x4 models, and pumps out a pretty effortless kW at rpm and Nm at rpm. On paper, then, the Touareg has got the mumbo to haul the kg it is rated to tow , let alone our kg load.

What happened in the real world, then? Rather, we just tried to stick to the speed limit whether it was uphill or down.
On that note, the V6 is utterly effortless, with or without a weight behind the Touareg. Just like the very best diesel engines we respect for their work ethic. Whereas a four-cylinder engine — even the best of them — feels the weight of the trailer behind it, the V6 is utterly unfussed either getting up to speed or staying there.
The Touareg might not stand out as the most obvious tow vehicle to some of you, but its price puts it square into premium Prado range, and its versatility as a family SUV only adds to the appeal.
Thankfully, the Touareg is as good as it gets in that regard. When you pair a monocoque chassis with adjustable air suspension and the engineering smarts that VW has directed at the Touareg, you get a properly comfortable large SUV. While we already know how well it deals with inner-city humdrum, the way it dispatches coarse-chip bitumen, even with the trailer in tow, is impressive.
We liked adaptive cruise — and it worked well — but lane-keep assist can get a little grating on longer drives. Keep the Touareg in Comfort mode, turn lane-keep assist off, and keep your wits about you as you would on any long drive. The steering is nicely weighted and meaty at higher speeds, light at a crawl, and you can position the Touareg easily thanks to effective exterior rear-view mirrors.
Even tricky reversing manoeuvres into tight confines are no issue. The rear-view camera makes a big difference here, too. It really is a competent tow vehicle. If you had a super-wide caravan on the tow ball, you might want to investigate clip-on broader towing mirrors, though.
Driver Technology. Fuel Efficiency. Even going over by a small amount can make your SUV difficult to steer and reduce the effectiveness of your brakes. This will present danger to you and your passengers, so it is not advised. If you exceed the weight limit and drive carefully, your tires will still fail more quickly due to the extra strain. Further, your engine will more likely overheat, which will cause your drivetrain to prematurely fail. Also, braking with too much weight will strain your brakes.
The VW Touareg is designed to tow larger loads, such as for extended camping trips and moving construction supplies. The VW Tiguan is designed to steer more enjoyably and to tow smaller loads, such as a motorcycle or jetskis for pleasure trips.
