The positioning of the Touareg model is a mid-to-large-sized SUV. Taking the 2020 Touareg as an example, its body dimensions are: length 5039mm, width 1989mm, height 1773mm, wheelbase 2980mm, fuel tank capacity 70L, luggage compartment capacity 286 to 2415L, and curb weight 2005kg. The 2020 Touareg is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 137kW and a maximum torque of 320Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. It adopts a front suspension type of MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension type of multi-link independent suspension.

I've been driving the Volkswagen Touareg for nearly three years, and I feel it's primarily positioned in the premium luxury SUV market, targeting family users pursuing a quality lifestyle or successful professionals. Compared to competitors like the BMW X5 or Mercedes-Benz GLE, the Touareg emphasizes more on comfort and daily practicality, featuring exquisite interior craftsmanship and abundant tech features such as adaptive cruise control and autonomous driving assistance systems, making long-distance drives particularly effortless. In terms of space, the rear seats are exceptionally spacious, easily accommodating baby seats or travel luggage. Price-wise, it's somewhat more affordable than BBA (BMW, Benz, Audi) models, but maintenance costs aren't low—I'd recommend those with ample budgets to consider used or newer models. I often take weekend trips, and its off-road performance is impressive, though city fuel consumption is on the higher side, which is worth considering. Overall, it strikes a perfect balance between luxury and practicality.

As an urban office worker, I recently test-drove the Touareg and found its positioning very clear: it's positioned as a mid-to-high-end family SUV. Volkswagen has equipped it with plenty of cutting-edge tech, like a digital dashboard and automatic parking, making the drive smooth and comfortable, perfect for daily commutes. The interior space is thoughtfully designed, especially the spacious trunk that can easily fit outdoor gear without feeling cramped. In terms of brand strategy, it aims to attract the 35-50 age group, catering to both business and leisure needs. Compared to Japanese models like the Highlander, the Touareg leans more toward a European style—sturdy yet stylish. However, the price is on the higher side, with the base model starting at nearly 400,000 RMB, though its extensive service network makes maintenance convenient. Overall, it's a reliable choice, but you'll need to weigh your budget and needs.

The Touareg is my top choice when traveling with kids. It's positioned as very family-friendly, emphasizing safety and spacious comfort. With a long wheelbase and well-thought-out interior layout, three kids can sit in the back without quarreling. Safety features like blind-spot monitoring and airbag systems provide peace of mind. The brand promotes it as tailor-made for middle-class families, competing against luxury SUVs like the Q7. The seat materials are soft, making long trips less tiring. In terms of maintenance, Volkswagen service is decent, and parts are easy to find. However, the vehicle's height leads to slightly more wind noise, and its maneuverability in urban areas is average. I think it offers great value for money and is perfect for those seeking a stable lifestyle.
