Where is the battery located in the new Touareg?

The battery of the new Touareg is located under the driver's seat. The battery refers to a lead-acid battery, primarily made of lead and its oxides. The Touareg is a mid-to-large SUV under the Volkswagen brand. Taking the 2021 Touareg Navigation Special Edition as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4878 mm, width 1984 mm, height 1717 mm, with a wheelbase of 2877 mm. The 2021 Touareg Navigation Special Edition is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 180 kW and a maximum torque of 370 N·m. It features a multi-link independent suspension both at the front and rear.
I once experienced a sudden battery failure in my new Touareg, which was quite alarming. Later, I discovered that the battery is located under the floor of the trunk. The specific steps are to open the trunk door, lift the carpet or the bottom cover of the luggage compartment, and you'll find a black box where the battery is hidden. The design is very discreet yet practical, as it doesn't occupy trunk space and makes replacement convenient. A reminder to everyone: before inspection, make sure to turn off the engine, remove the key, and disconnect the negative terminal to avoid short circuits or electric shocks. I recommend regularly checking the battery's health with a voltmeter to maintain it around 12.6 volts, which is normal. It's also a good idea to inspect the battery before long trips to avoid any mid-journey issues that could delay your travel. Regular cleaning of terminal corrosion can extend its lifespan. This design is incredibly thoughtful for road trip enthusiasts.
