Volkswagen Touareg
Volkswagen TouaregHere the core properties of this vehicle class - power and durability - are highlighted by the visual emphasis of the large wheels (standard 7.5J x 7 on the V6 TDI and V6 FSI, 8J x 18 on the Hybrid and V8 TDI). Also serving as clear SUV characteristics are the rugged wheel arches with their black trim extending toward the wheel wells. The side window look that narrows toward the rear corresponds to the rear shoulder section that is prominently sculpted.
This character is reinforced by the precise edges of the wheel arches and the rear side section. This results in a partial channelling between the A and C pillars, which captures light and lends a muscular, athletic image to the entire side section. Just the opposite is the case: Just like on a sports car, the car body tapers slightly in the area of the doors. Thanks to the lower body height, short overhangs, a dynamic line of side windows and the clear sculpting of its surfaces, in contrast to other SUVs this car's side profile does not in the least have a massive appearance.
