VW Touareg 3 2009: Review and Specification

Anti-intrusion Side Door Beams.

Uses steel reinforcements in the doors which are designed to help absorb and redirect impact energy upon a side impact – basically creating a steel cage to protect passengers. Sounds good on paper. Even better on impact. Standard In: VR6 FSI, V8 FSI and V10 TDI Twin Turbo.
Bi-Xenon™ Headlights w/ AFS II.
More energy efficient than halogen, they emit a powerful bluish-white light. Also, all Bi-Xenon headlights feature a built-in leveling and steerable light system. They turn as you turn. So whether you're on the road or off it, you'll better see what's around the corner. Standard In: V8 FSI, V10 TDI Twin Turbo Optional In: VR6 FSI. Heated Washer Nozzles. What good are washer nozzles if they are frozen closed? Your washer nozzles on your VW can heat up to keep ice from forming over them. Standard In: VR6 FSI, V8 FSI and V10 TDI Twin Turbo. Keyless Access. Because of a special transmitter built into the key fob, all you have to do is walk up to your Touareg 2 and the doors will unlock for you automatically. Once you’re inside, all you have to do is step on the brake and press the start button. And then, vroom. Optional In: VR6 FSI, V8 FSI and V10 TDI Twin Turbo.
Multi-function Mirrors.
hey aren't just side view mirrors anymore. They’re fully powered and fold in if you need a little extra room. Plus, they’re heated and have a reverse tilt feature, which angles the Passenger mirrors down toward the curb when you’re parking. They also have a floodlight feature which lights up when you lock or unlock the doors, so you don’t step in some goop hiding in the shadows. Standard In: V8 FSI and V10 TDI Twin Turbo Optional In: VR6 FSI.
Power Glass Sunroof.
It tilts. It slides. It's got pinch protection. And it's tinted so you don't get toasted when the sun comes out to play. Standard In: VR6 FSI, V8 FSI and V10 TDI Twin Turbo.
Power Liftgate.
The power liftgate can be opened with the key fob by simply pressing the trunk button. You can adjust how high it opens up and closing it is a cinch too. Just press the power close button that's on the hatch. Standard In: VR6 FSI, V8 FSI and V10 TDI Twin Turbo
Rain-sensing Wipers
With rain-sensing wipers, you don’t have to worry about controlling the speed of the wipers in the rain, they’ll take care of it for you. A small sensor in the windshield detects how much water is obstructing your vision. And, since Mother Nature can change her mind quickly, these wipers adjust their speed automatically.Standard In: VR6 FSI, V8 FSI and V10 TDI Twin Turbo
Rearview Camera
See what's behind you in the woods with this built in rearview camera. Not only do you see video while in reverse, but graphic lines help indicate the Touareg 2’s backing path. Optional In: VR6 FSI, V8 FSI and V10 TDI Twin Turb
Soft-closing Hatch
No need to slam the rear hatch of your Touareg 2 shut. Just make sure it goes all the way down – small motors will take over from there and make sure that it's secure. Standard In: VR6 FSI, V8 FSI and V10 TDI Twin Turbo
