Can the Touareg chassis be raised or lowered?

Touareg's chassis cannot be raised or lowered. The vehicle chassis primarily serves a load-bearing function, with the car's engine and all its components/assemblies mounted on the engine chassis. The Touareg is a midsize 5-door 7-seat SUV with body dimensions of 5039mm(length) × 1989mm(width) × 1773mm(height) and a 2980mm wheelbase. It is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering maximum power of 137kW and peak torque of 320N·m. The drivetrain configuration is front-engine front-wheel drive, featuring MacPherson strut front suspension and multi-link rear suspension.

The Volkswagen Teramont indeed features a chassis lift function, primarily achieved through the optional air suspension system. Inside the vehicle, I can press buttons to switch height settings, such as normal mode for highway driving to save fuel and maintain stability, or raised mode for off-road or muddy conditions to increase ground clearance and prevent scraping. The system can also automatically adjust based on speed—lowering at high speeds to reduce drag and raising at low speeds for better clearance. However, this suspension requires regular inspections, as leaks or aging parts can lead to higher maintenance costs. For road trips, this feature is incredibly useful, especially when carrying heavy loads or driving on mountain roads—adjusting the height instantly stabilizes the body. But don’t overlook maintenance records to avoid safety risks. In short, if you opt for this system, it’s simple and efficient to operate, genuinely enhancing daily convenience.

I've been driving the Touareg for several years, and its air suspension system is absolutely impressive. When encountering rough roads or waterlogged potholes, just press a button to raise the chassis - it prevents scraping, protects underbody components, and avoids dragging. For daily city driving, the normal height setting is perfect, offering both fuel efficiency and quiet operation. However, improper maintenance (like air leaks or damaged oil seals) can make repairs troublesome and expensive. I recommend professional inspections of the air pump every six months, and never overlook tire wear. Additionally, the self-leveling function automatically adjusts height based on load, making it particularly practical when carrying cargo or traveling with kids. In my opinion, this feature is a standout highlight of the Touareg that justifies its price tag, though it's best not to overuse it.

From a safety perspective, the Teramont's adjustable ride height significantly reduces travel risks. It offers an optional air suspension system. Raising the chassis helps avoid scrapes on rough or slippery roads, enhancing stability. I've used this feature while driving—it's a quick and precise one-button operation, providing extra peace of mind, especially during night driving. For maintenance, pay attention to system pressure changes; regular checks can extend its lifespan.
