2007 Volkswagen Touareg.Start Up, Engine, and In Depth Tour.
he Touareg's first facelift was unveiled at the 2006 Paris Motor Show, and debuted in North America as a 2008 model. It now features the shield grille from others in the Volkswagen Passenger Cars range. The updated Touareg has more than 2300 redesigned parts and boasts some new technological features:
ABS Plus, which works in conjunction with the traction control system, and shortens the braking distance by up to 25% on loose surfaces;
Front Scan, an adaptive cruise control system, which can slow or even stop the car depending on traffic conditions;
Side Scan, a blind-spot warning system: it uses radar at the rear of the car to sense another car's presence, and causes light-emitting diodes (LEDs) built into the wing mirrors to flash. If the driver indicates to move out, the LEDs flash at an accelerated rate to warn the driver until the other vehicle moves out of the Touareg's field of vision.
The 2007 Touareg, alongside an already lengthy options list, could be equipped with a driving dynamics package, a rollover sensor, a 620 watt Dynaudio sound system, and redesigned comfort seats. All diesel versions now have the diesel particulate filter standard.
In the US and Canada, the facelifted Touareg was marketed as the Touareg 2 for the 2008 model year, reverting to simply Touareg in 2009.
Engines
US models included 3.6 V6, 4.2 V8, BlueMotion 3.0 V6 TDI. Canada models include 3.6 V6, BlueMotion 3.0 V6 TDI. BlueMotion 3.0 V6 TDI was sold as V6 TDI Clean Diesel in US and Canada.
It is a prototype hybrid vehicle with 2,995 cubic centimetres (182.8 cu in) V6 petrol engine with a 'Twin Vortices Series' (TVS) supercharger rated 333 metric horsepower (245 kW; 328 bhp) at 5500 rpm and 440 newton metres (320 ft·lbf) at 3000 rpm, an electric motor rated 52 metric horsepower (38 kW; 51 bhp) and 300 newton metres (220 ft·lbf), 8-speed automatic transmission. It has combined ratings of 374 metric horsepower (275 kW; 369 bhp) and 550 newton metres (410 ft·lbf). The electric-motor is powered by 240-cell, 288V, 6Ah nickel metal-hydride battery array. The 4motion four-wheel drive system was replaced by a lighter Torsen centre differential from Audi Q7 to save weight. The electric motor has the top speed of 50 kilometres per hour (31 mph). Start-stop system supports regenerative braking, coasting. Power steering, air conditioning were changed to be powered by battery.
Planned production version included special E-switch that the driver can activate for pure electric driving, 160 kilometres per hour (99 mph) coasting speed.

To be honest I would rather have a one with a smaller engine but a top of the range model that a one with a slightly bigger engine and a entry level model. When selling a car it depends on many things; the condition of the car, the condition of the markets and the overall interest in the car. People look for extras, so when selling a top of the range model you are likely to get more money. So things like Air Suspension, Sat Nav etc. It's also important to keep the car in good condition.

@ilia93. Well no Touareg is shit but the wheels are awful, the upholstery is afwul but they are still great cars. You mentioned changing the wheels. Yes but if you ever came to sell the car even with different wheels you wouldn't get that much money, because at the end of the day it is a entry level model. What size wheels are they, ours are 19" and even they look small because of the size of the wheel arches. Yes the 3.0 TDI has a great engine but the 2.5 is very strong and is far from slow.

@jonny2k100 what do you mean the shit model if your car is from exactly the same year ? i agree about the cloth seats but you can always change the wheels plus the 3.0 tdi is a much better engine ...

ahh, the shit model, awful wheels, cheap cloth upholstery etc. We have the 2.5 Altitude and our car is gorgeous, it has the body kit e.g. low bumpers, side skirts, dual zone climate control, sat nav, heated seats, and super clean, brand new engine bay. Well saying that, ours is a 2007 and it only has 23,000 miles on it. All for £25,000
