How to adjust the driving mode of the Touareg?
2 Answers
The Touareg offers a total of four driving modes: 1. Highway mode; 2. Snow mode; 3. Off-road mode; 4. Custom off-road mode. Choose the corresponding driving mode based on different road conditions and traffic situations. On dry paved roads, you can directly select the Highway mode, which further offers three sub-modes: Economy mode, Standard mode, and Sport mode. The Touareg is a new mid-to-large SUV under SAIC Volkswagen, featuring a design heavily inspired by the CrossBlue concept car. The overall appearance is very bold, with a dual-slat chrome grille that extends directly into the headlights. In terms of power, the Touareg offers optional 2.0TSI high or low-power engines and a 2.5TV6 engine.
The driving mode adjustment knob of the Teramont is located near the gear lever, a very noticeable circular knob. When I drive, I can switch between modes like Economy, Comfort, and Sport by turning this knob, and the current mode pattern is displayed in real-time on the trip computer screen. I tried Sport mode on the highway—the steering wheel immediately became heavier, the gear shift RPM surged, and overtaking was particularly crisp. If driving on bumpy roads, switching to Off-road mode noticeably raises the chassis and makes the four-wheel drive more responsive. Remember to switch modes when the speed is below 10km/h; for safety, it's best to stop before switching. If adjusted to Custom mode, you can individually set details like steering wheel force and suspension stiffness, but the personalized settings require about two minutes of operation on the central control screen.
