Touareg with a spare tire is the first-generation Volkswagen Touareg. Here is some relevant information about the Touareg: 1. Introduction: A high-end SUV launched by Volkswagen. 2. Appearance introduction: The new Touareg adopts Volkswagen's new family-style front face and introduces new LED daytime running lights. In order to achieve better aerodynamic effects, some adjustments have been made to the styling, making the Touareg look more refined. The body proportions and overall silhouette of the new generation Touareg still maintain the characteristics of the previous generation, which is Volkswagen's consistent exterior design approach, but the front face has been completely refreshed, resembling the recently launched Phaeton and Golf.
When I drove my Touareg into Tibet, the spare tire at the back saved my life. Currently, original full-size spare tires are mainly found in older MLB platform models, such as the off-road package versions from 2010-2017. These models have the spare tire embedded under the trunk floor, complete with a full set of tire-changing tools. The newer MLB Evo platform has mostly eliminated this feature, but some users have developed third-party roof-mounted spare tire rack solutions. When shopping for used cars, it's advisable to pay special attention to potential rust on the inner wheel hub's spare tire suspension mechanism, as this system may have aged over a decade. Recently, there have been videos on Douyin showing modifications to fit a non-full-size spare tire (115/90R16 emergency size) into hidden trunk compartments.
