Performance
Drive and technology
"E mode“ and "Hybrid“
Using the 4MOTION Active Control menu in the updated Innovision Cockpit the driver has direct access to the hybrid functions “E mode” and “Hybrid”. By touching “E mode”, the Touareg R plug-in hybrid switches to all-electric drive, and by selecting “Hybrid” mode, the driver unlocks the power of the V6 engine and Boost.
With a sufficiently charged battery the Touareg R always starts in the all-electric “E mode”. It works the other way round in “Hybrid” mode: If required, the driver uses the kick-down function to additionally demand the all-electric power as a “boost”.
Acceleration
Maximum dynamics – R-style
The V6 turbo engine always works per kick-down and with sufficiently charged battery is also supported by the all-electric power as a “boost”. Maximum system power of 340 kW plus maximum system torque of 700 Nm – equals maximum dynamics.
Exterior & Interior

The updated front of the Touareg R plug-in hybrid gets its iconic look from the new HD matrix LED headlights with six lenses each and new signature light. A new front grille with horizontal light strip rounds off the look from the front.
