About Volkswagen Touareg
The Volkswagen Touareg (German pronunciation: [ˈtuːaʁɛk]) is a mid-size luxury crossover SUV produced by German automaker Volkswagen since 2002 at the Volkswagen Bratislava Plant.
The vehicle was named after the nomadic Tuareg people, inhabitants of the Saharan interior in North Africa.
As of its first generation, the Touareg was developed together with the Porsche Cayenne and the Audi Q7, sharing platforms and much technology. The vehicles were developed as unibody SUVs with independent suspension. The initial generation (2002–2010) offered five-, six-, eight-, ten- and twelve-cylinder engine choices.
The Volkswagen Touareg (internally designated Typ 7L) was developed as a joint venture project by Porsche and the Volkswagen Group, involving the Audi and Volkswagen brands. The sports car market fluctuates and Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking was looking to expand into new segments. This included marketing its first four-door vehicle. A team in Weissach, Germany, of over 300 was led by Klaus-Gerhard Wolpert developed the Volkswagen Group PL71 platform. It is shared by the VW Touareg, the Audi Q7, and the Porsche Cayenne. There are styling, equipment, performance, and technical differences between them. The Touareg and Porsche both seat five, while the Q7’s stretched wheelbase accommodates a third row for seven passengers.
The Volkswagen Touareg is built at the Volkswagen Bratislava Plant in Bratislava, Slovakia, alongside the Audi Q7. The Cayenne is assembled by Porsche in Leipzig, Germany, at a facility built for Cayenne production.
At the time of type 7L development and for the first several years of production, Porsche was independently owned and not yet a part of the Volkswagen group. Porsche was successful with Cayenne and the model generated the highest profit per vehicle ratio in the motor industry.
Due to the demand, and the exchange rates of euros against the US dollar, as well as different pricing and environmental policies in the US, the V6 and V8 engine variants make up most of Volkswagen’s American Touareg offering. Compared to other Volkswagen-branded vehicles sold in the US which are aimed at the mass market, Touaregs came in the more upscale trims and placed in competition with other luxury crossover SUVs.
The V10 TDI Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI) diesel engines was available during the 2004 model year. Those engines were part of the Volkswagen emissions scandal. The engined were brought back to the United States for the 2006 model year as a “Tier I emissions concept (43 state emissions)”. (Source Wiki)
