What is the width of the Touareg?

[StevenFitz]

The width of the Volkswagen Touareg is 1989 millimeters. Here are the relevant details: 1. Dimensions: The Volkswagen Touareg measures 5039mm in length, 1989mm in width, and 1773mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2980mm. 2. Interior: The SAIC Volkswagen Touareg features a design with very straight lines, inspired by the CrossBlue concept car. Below are the regulations regarding vehicle dimensions: 1. Maximum height: 4.0m; 2. Maximum width (excluding mirrors): 2.5m; 3. Maximum length: Trucks (including off-road trucks) 12m; Buses 12m; Articulated buses 18m; Tractor-trailers 16m; Car trailers 20m.

I remember measuring it at the 4S store last time—the bare body width of the Touareg is 1959mm. This measurement refers to the distance between the outermost points of the wheel arches at the widest part of the body. When actually driving, be aware that the unfolded side mirrors add about 200mm to the total width. Especially in narrow streets in old urban areas, passing oncoming traffic can be nerve-wracking—keep a firm grip on the steering wheel. It’s considered wide for its class; the Highlander, for example, is only 1930mm wide. I’d recommend beginners install a 360-degree camera system to better judge side clearances. When parking, remember to enable the auto-folding mirrors, and for mechanical parking spaces in malls, try to park on the lowest level.

My Touareg has been with me for three years, and the most impressive feature is its interior space with a width of 1939mm. Three adults can sit comfortably in the second row without shoulder crowding, and the door storage compartments can hold up to five bottles of mineral water. However, finding a large parking spot in commercial areas can be challenging, as some parking garages have width limits of 1.9 meters, making it impossible to fit into certain multi-level spaces. Last time in a narrow alley, the side mirrors were just three fingers' width away from the wall. I recommend installing anti-scratch strips, as the tires and wheel arches are flush with each other, making them prone to scraping against curbs.

According to the parameter table, the standard width is 1939mm excluding the side mirrors. Actual measurements show that with both mirrors fully extended, the width is approximately 2180mm. Novices should pay special attention to the right-turn radius, as the right front wheel position extends about 20cm further out compared to sedans. It is recommended to retrofit narrow-edge mirrors to reduce the visual blind spot by 10cm. For urban driving, it is advisable to keep the lane change assist function on, and the mirror heating feature is very useful in rainy or foggy conditions. Be mindful not to exceed 255mm in tire specifications, as it may cause issues with wheel arch width during annual inspections.

Driving the Touareg to pick up kids often gets complaints from school gate guards for being too wide. It's 3cm wider than the neighboring Q7, with a high front end, so be extra careful about the inner wheel difference when turning on narrow roads. The 360-degree panoramic view automatically activates when reversing, which is super thoughtful, but the plastic covers on the rearview mirrors have been scratched three times. It's recommended to stick reflective strips on the upper edge of the wheel arches to make the markings more noticeable when meeting cars at right-angle turns in the garage. The factory-fitted 255/50 R20 tires are basically flush with the wheel arches, so don't modify them to wider tires yourself.

The 1939mm width of the Touareg is meticulously designed. With a front track of 1687mm and rear track of 1692mm, it's half a palm wider than the Highlander. This advantage is utilized in the three-layer adjustable center console structure. Actual tests show excellent stability even at 140km/h in rainy conditions, largely thanks to the wide track. However, extra attention is needed when washing the car - remind the cleaner to scrub the wheel arch liners as the wider body tends to splash more mud. For urban driving, installing wheel arch protectors is recommended to reduce scraping risks in narrow alley encounters.
