What transmission does the Volkswagen Touareg use?
2 Answers
Volkswagen Touareg is equipped with a ZF transmission. The transmission is a mechanism used to change the speed and torque from the engine, capable of fixed or stepped changes in the transmission ratio between the output shaft and the input shaft. Taking the 2021 Volkswagen Touareg as an example, its body structure is a 5-door, 5-seat SUV with dimensions of 4878mm in length, 1984mm in width, and 1717mm in height, a wheelbase of 2899mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 90 liters. The 2021 Volkswagen Touareg is powered by a 2.0T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 180kW and a maximum torque of 370Nm, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
The Volkswagen Touareg typically comes with an 8-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission. I must say driving this car feels very smooth, with almost no noticeable gearshift jerks in city stop-and-go traffic – it's really worry-free. On highways, the acceleration response is quick and fuel efficiency is high. I've compared it with the older 6-speed version, and the new model's smoothness is significantly improved. Long-term driving noise levels are low. I recommend owners perform regular maintenance, such as changing transmission fluid every 50,000 km to prolong its lifespan. If you prefer comfortable SUVs, this transmission is definitely worth recommending – but avoid unauthorized modifications as the factory design is already well-balanced.
