The air suspension system of the older Touareg can be divided into three modes—comfort, normal, and sport—depending on driving conditions. Function of the air suspension system: During obstacle crossing, the Touareg's air suspension system can raise the chassis up to 300mm, allowing a wading depth of 580mm. Touareg: It is a mid-to-large-sized SUV under the Volkswagen brand. The dimensions of this vehicle are 4878mm in length, 1984mm in width, and 1717mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2899mm. The Touareg is equipped with two engines: a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine and a 3.0-liter turbocharged engine.
I'm quite familiar with the suspension modes of the older Touareg models, which mainly consist of three options: Comfort mode, Standard mode, and Sport mode. In Comfort mode, the suspension is tuned to be very soft, making long-distance drives smooth without much cabin vibration – perfect for family outings, as it feels like sitting on a sofa. Standard mode is the middle setting, ideal for daily commutes as it strikes a balance between handling and shock absorption. Sport mode stiffens the suspension, providing stronger grip during turns and a more stable feel at high speeds, though it can be a bit bumpy on rough roads. I've also noticed that switching between modes is straightforward, just a turn of the knob on the center console – one-click operation. Additionally, these modes affect fuel consumption; Comfort mode is more fuel-efficient, while Sport mode offers quicker acceleration at the cost of slightly higher fuel usage. Regular maintenance of the suspension system is crucial – I check the air springs every six months to prevent any leakage issues.
The older generation Touareg offers three suspension modes: Comfort, Standard, and Sport. In Comfort mode, the suspension is soft, making driving over speed bumps in the city smooth and vibration-free, which is particularly suitable for elderly or novice drivers. The Standard mode is versatile for daily use, balancing smoothness and responsiveness. Sport mode features a firm suspension, providing quick acceleration and stable cornering, creating a feeling of unity between driver and car when driving aggressively on mountain roads, though it can be quite bumpy on rough roads. I enjoy experimenting with different modes; Comfort mode works well for anti-slip in rainy conditions, while Standard mode suits most road surfaces. The adjustment buttons are conveniently located near the steering wheel for easy switching. Over time, the air suspension may age, so it's recommended to have it inspected and maintained every two years.
