Our take on this /// Verdict

The Volkswagen Touareg Base, particularly the 3.0 V6 TDI variant, is a robust and capable SUV that has made a significant mark in the Indian market. Its heritage in the Dakar rally underscores its off-roading prowess and reliability. The vehicle boasts a powerful 3.0-litre V6 diesel engine, producing 241.6 bhp, coupled with an 8-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. The addition of 4-corner air-suspensions with electronic shock absorption control enhances both on-road comfort and off-road capability. While it may not be the cheapest option in its segment, its refined performance, advanced safety features like Travel Assist and Night Vision, and luxurious interior with a 12-inch digital instrument cluster make it a strong contender. However, its premium pricing might sway some buyers towards more badge-conscious rivals.

Price

The Volkswagen Touareg Base, specifically the 3.0 V6 TDI variant, is priced at around Rs. 58.50 lakh ex-showroom in New Delhi. When factoring in additional costs such as registration, insurance, and other taxes, the on-road price can easily exceed Rs. 70 lakh. This places the Touareg in a competitive segment where it faces stiff competition from other luxury SUVs like the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque and Mercedes Benz R Class. Despite the higher cost, the Touaregs comprehensive feature list, including cruise control, automatic climate control, and powered front seats, justifies the investment for those seeking a blend of luxury, performance, and off-road capability.

Mileage

Friday, 22 November 2024 04:14 PM The Volkswagen Touareg Base, with its 3.0-litre V6 diesel engine, offers an ARAI-certified mileage of 8.7 kmpl. While this may not be the most fuel-efficient option in its class, the Touaregs performance and features make it a worthwhile choice for those who prioritize power and comfort over fuel economy. For buyers concerned about running costs, its essential to weigh the vehicles overall package against its fuel consumption, considering that the Touaregs robust engine and advanced technology may offset the slightly lower mileage.
