On which platform is the Touareg built?
2 Answers
Touareg is built on Volkswagen's MLB platform. The Touareg is a mid-to-large luxury SUV under the Volkswagen brand, with dimensions of 4878mm in length, 1984mm in width, and 1686mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2899mm. In terms of power, the vehicle is equipped with two engines: a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine and a 3.0-liter turbocharged engine. Exterior-wise, the Touareg adopts the new family design language, featuring robust body lines. The front grille is connected to the LED light strip, giving the front face a flatter and wider appearance.
As a long-time Touareg owner, I have deep feelings about its MLB Evo platform. This platform was specifically designed by the Volkswagen Group for premium SUVs, and from my driving experience, it has shaped the Touareg into an all-rounder. The MLB Evo platform uses lightweight materials like aluminum and high-strength steel, making the ride exceptionally stable—no drifting at high speeds and excellent shock absorption on bumpy roads. The spacious rear seating makes family trips very comfortable. The platform is shared with the Audi Q7 and Porsche Cayenne, meaning parts are readily available and maintenance is affordable yet reliable. Its intelligent four-wheel-drive system automatically adjusts traction in rainy conditions, providing a strong sense of security. The platform's scalability allows the Touareg to be equipped with air suspension or driving assistance features, adapting to both off-road and urban conditions. In short, if you're looking for practicality with a touch of luxury, this platform is well worth it.
