Creating a car that copes with off-road tasks with perfect behavior on the track is like designing evening shoes that make fishing easy. By the way, our ancestors once successfully solved this problem by inventing galoshes, and we successfully “abandoned” this successful invention.
Current car manufacturers, creating streamlined crossovers that connect drives and blocking differentials on the road, follow the path of front-exit cars. And it turns out this is not good for everyone, especially when high-speed qualities and economical car consumption by default are expected among brand lovers. This is exactly the situation Volkswagen had, and therefore they took up the solution of the problem together with partners from the company Porsche.
Volkswagen Tuareg and Porsche Cayenne cars were created on a common platform, where Volkswagen representatives were responsible for the principles and design of the all-wheel drive transmission, and Porsche for suspension, stability and handling. In general, the Volkswagen development turned out to be very successful, which is confirmed by numerous successful performances at the competitions and excellent reviews from owners of the whole world and Russians in particular.
When considering the reasons for choosing a Volkswagen Tuareg, the reviews of the owners distinguish it from their price category by the very good price / quality ratio. Questions of prestige or following the traditions of buying cars of a particular brand in the selection of this unit play a minimal role.
As for the quality of the engines at the Tuareg, reviews of the owners note their quite acceptable dynamic characteristics and excellent drag. This is especially the case in off-road conditions.
Regarding the cross-country ability, the quality of the transmission and suspension of the Tuareg, reviews would be more numerous if it were often used. But judging by the responses, the simplification of off-road properties in the basic model of the new unit is a move quite justified not only from a marketing point of view.
In relation to the Salon Tuareg reviews are the most numerous. Everyone understands this, so the responses of the owners are full of conflicting information. What is liked by one causes discontent and irritation in others, which means that it can be safely excluded from consideration.
A very interesting topic is the electronic fault diagnosis of Volkswagen Tuareg. The fact that the idea was supposed to facilitate the troubleshooting of the Tuareg, the reviews of the owners called the biggest problem of this car. And this problem is not in diagnostics, but in the low level of training and the lack of engineering thinking in most employees of Russian Volkswagen service centers.
If we talk about this unit as a whole, then special admiration and praise in the reviews are not observed. In this regard, the new Tuareg is indicative, the reviews of which are also commendable, but modest. Given the widespread recognition of the high quality of such cars, this suggests that the Touaregs are owned by balanced people who are satisfied with life and the car, which no one needs to be convinced of anything.
