The 2023 Touareg is newly equipped with a V6 3.0 TDI engine featuring efficient and eco-friendly Twin Dosing technology. Various safety and convenience features have been added compared to the previous model.

First, features that were only available on the top-tier model have been expanded to all trims, enhancing the product competitiveness compared to previous model years.

The advanced driver assistance system 'IQ.Drive,' including Travel Assist, is also provided as standard.

Convenience features have also been enriched. Ventilated front seats are now standard on all models. Additionally, Remote Parking Assist (applied from the Prestige trim), which allows remote control of parking and exiting via smartphone, and front seats with massage function supporting eight modes have been added.

The 2023 Touareg is newly equipped with the 'EA897 evo3 V6 3.0 TDI' engine. This engine features a 'Twin Dosing Technology' system with two SCR catalytic converters that drastically reduce nitrogen oxides.

While reducing emissions, it does not compromise on powerful performance and efficiency. The new V6 3.0 TDI engine, combined with an all-wheel-drive system and an 8-speed automatic transmission, delivers a maximum output of 286 horsepower (3500?4000 rpm) and a maximum torque of 61.2 kg·m over a wide range of 1750?3250 rpm. The Touareg’s combined fuel efficiency is 10.8 km/ℓ, with 9.6 km/ℓ in urban driving and 12.8 km/ℓ on highways.

In addition, features that assist driver safety and convenience have been applied. The advanced driver assistance system 'IQ.Drive' is standard on all trims. In particular, the representative system of IQ.Drive, 'Travel Assist,' further enhances driving convenience and safety.

Travel Assist integrates driving assistance systems such as cameras and sensors, adaptive cruise control, and lane assist to actively support driving at speeds ranging from 0 to 250 km/h. It maximizes driving convenience throughout all driving conditions, reducing driver fatigue. The prices for the 2023 Touareg are 88,302,000 KRW for the Premium trim, 97,827,000 KRW for the Prestige trim, and 102,847,000 KRW for the R-Line trim (including a 3.5% individual consumption tax reduction and VAT).

Along with this, Volkswagen Korea offers a '5-year/150,000 km warranty extension program' and an accident repair total care service that supports up to five instances of deductible payments when repairing insured accident vehicles at official service centers (initial 1 year, no mileage limit, up to 500,000 KRW per accident), reducing the burden of vehicle maintenance costs.

Sasha Askizian, President of Volkswagen Korea, said, "The Touareg has captivated customers worldwide by setting the standard for premium with each generation," and added, "We hope more customers will experience the true essence of the 2023 Touareg, which combines innovative technology, top-level comfort, and driving pleasure."
