Suspension mode. Below are the relevant details: Touareg: The Touareg is a mid-to-large-sized SUV under the Volkswagen brand. The dimensions of this vehicle are 4878mm in length, 1984mm in width, and 1717mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2899mm.

I usually choose the Comfort suspension mode when driving my Touareg. With many potholes and speed bumps on city roads, a softer suspension setting makes the ride much more comfortable, significantly reducing the jolts inside the car, making daily commutes or weekend shopping trips much easier. I keep this setting for long highway drives too—it prevents backaches from overly stiff suspension while maintaining sufficient stability. Some prefer the Sport mode for a sportier feel, but it's less practical in the city, affecting handling and increasing fuel consumption. Switching modes on the Touareg is quick and easy with just a few clicks on the steering wheel buttons. Choosing the right mode is key for safe driving—the Comfort suspension reduces fatigue and enhances alertness, especially in rain or snow to prevent skidding. For everyday driving, this is the most hassle-free option. Remember to regularly check tire pressure and maintain the suspension to keep it working well with your chosen mode.
