Is the Touareg produced by SAIC Volkswagen or FAW-Volkswagen?
2 Answers
The Touareg is neither produced by FAW-Volkswagen nor SAIC Volkswagen. Although it was the first SUV model introduced by FAW-Volkswagen, it is actually an SUV manufactured by Volkswagen AG in Germany. 1. The Touareg is equipped with a 3.0T displacement engine, paired with a 2-speed automatic transmission. The engine can reach a maximum power of 250kW, with a maximum horsepower of 340PS and a maximum torque of 450 Nm. 2. The exterior design of the Touareg aligns with the aesthetic preferences of young people, featuring multi-layered headlights and slightly protruding taillights that enhance its visual appeal. 3. The Touareg's central control screen and instrument panel adopt full LCD displays, creating a digital cockpit design concept. Additionally, the high-quality materials used provide an overall premium experience.
When I went to the 4S store last time to inquire about the situation, I figured out the issue with the Touareg. It is not produced by Shanghai Volkswagen or FAW-Volkswagen, which are Volkswagen's joint ventures in China. However, the Touareg, as a luxury SUV, is directly imported from Germany for sale in China. I did my research when I bought my car. Shanghai Volkswagen has been renamed SAIC Volkswagen and produces models like the Passat or Tiguan, while FAW-Volkswagen mainly focuses on models like the Golf or Magotan. Local production is aimed at reducing costs, but the Touareg emphasizes its original imported quality, making it more expensive and niche. So if someone gets confused, it might be because the two joint ventures sell many Volkswagen models, and the Touareg looks similar but belongs to a different system. When choosing a car, it's advisable to check the vehicle label or ask the salesperson for accurate information, as imported cars usually have special identifiers.
