The voice wake-up command for the Touareg is set by the owner. Below is relevant information: 1. Exterior: It features a brand-new front fascia design with noticeable changes to the overall contour of the headlights, which have been upgraded to IQ.Light full LED matrix headlights, equipped with functions such as automatic height adjustment, adaptive cornering, and intelligent high/low beam switching. Additionally, the full-width LED light strip and the flat Volkswagen logo in the center of the front can also illuminate, giving it a distinct new energy vehicle feel. The rear design of the new Touareg continues its boxy styling, with the most significant change being the adoption of a full-width taillight design that matches the headlights. The central logo can also light up, complemented by sequential turn signals and a full-width chrome trim, significantly enhancing the rear's premium feel. 2. Powertrain: The new model will retain the current configuration, featuring Volkswagen's EA888 engine with a maximum power output of 220 horsepower, while the 2.5T engine is also expected to remain available. In terms of transmission, the new model will continue to be paired with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission and will still support the full-time four-wheel-drive system.
As a long-time Volkswagen owner, I can tell you that the voice wake-up feature in the Touareg is incredibly convenient. Just say 'Hello Volkswagen' towards the steering wheel, and the system responds immediately. Remember, the car needs to be powered on for it to work, and it recognizes Mandarin most accurately. Last time I was driving, I tried using voice commands to set the navigation, and it recognized everything quickly and accurately. If you can't find the wake-up button, it's usually on the right side of the steering wheel with a small microphone icon. If it occasionally fails to wake up, check if the voice function is enabled in the car settings and if the microphone is blocked. This feature is especially useful in traffic jams, allowing you to adjust the air conditioning temperature just by speaking.
Just helped a friend set up their new Touareg a few days ago, and the voice activation is incredibly simple. Once in the car, hold down the microphone button on the right side of the steering wheel for 1 second, and after hearing the prompt, say 'Hello Volkswagen' to activate voice control. There might be slight variations depending on the model year, with post-2022 models even supporting customizable wake words. In tests, recognition remains highly accurate even at speeds of 80km/h, though heavy rain can affect performance. One time on the highway, my friend activated seat heating via voice command without even taking hands off the wheel. After activation, you can control basic functions like navigation, air conditioning, and phone calls, but windows and sunroof still require manual operation.
