Touareg, Volkswagen’s flagship SUV for more than two decades, underscores a proud tradition of quality, capability and comfort that is synonymous with the marque and its extensive array of cutting-edge passenger cars. Comfortably more than 1.1 million people worldwide, including about 58,200 in the UK, have enjoyed the luxury and style afforded by three generations of Touareg over the past 21 years, and that number is set to continue to grow with the arrival, in October 2023, of a comprehensively updated new model.Always a showcase for the latest in Volkswagen technical developments, the Touareg now debuting in UK showrooms exhibits an array of high-tech features, many offered as standard, that once again help define the car as an engineering tour de force.Among the many highlights, today’s Touareg includes the option of newly-developed IQ.Light HD LED matrix headlights which use 38,432 LEDs to turn night into day. Three light modules in each headlight create an unmistakable design and allow various light functions to be used. They also project a lane of light ahead of the driver to provide maximum visibility without dazzling oncoming traffic. Upgraded running gear and further enhanced comfort on- or off-road add to the appeal, while the new Touareg’s renowned towing capabilities of course remain.A redesigned front-end features, for the first time on Touareg, an illuminated horizontal strip in the radiator grille. A similar illuminated line at the rear also offers a first, in the form of a red illuminated Volkswagen logo on top-end variants. Fresh 20-, 21- or 22-inch alloy wheels add to the updated exterior appeal while, inside, Volkswagen has enhanced the Touareg for added comfort on long journeys, including softer armrests and padding on the centre console to cushion knees from bumps. New door panels, also made of a foamed material, come with attractive double decorative seams.
Euro NCAP announced the release of its second series of Highway Assist tests. To ensure the safe adoption of these and other assisted driving technologies by consumers, Euro NCAP has developed a dedicated test and assessment protocol, and a grading system. The latest test series includes ten cars that offer Highway Assist: the Audi Q8, the BMW 3 Series, the Ford Kuga, the Mercedes GLE, the Nissan Juke, the Peugeot 2008, the Renault Clio, the Tesla Model 3, the Volkswagen Passat and the Volvo V60.Increasingly, vehicle manufacturers have been making use of the sensor-sets fitted to their cars to provide more extensive driving support, paving the way for an autonomous future. A prime example is Highway Assist, a technology designed to make motorway driving safer by reducing fatigue and encouraging safe driving. Highway Assist helps the driver to maintain a steady speed, to keep a safe distance from the car in front and to keep the vehicle in the centre of the lane by combining (intelligent) Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Lane Centering (LC). However, the driver always needs to be responsible and engaged behind the wheel, and the assisted system is there to do just that – assist. They are not flawless and should not lead or have full control.
The Audi Q7 is getting an all-round update – both visually and technically. The large SUV features the new design of the Q family and offers superb dynamics and excellent comfort, in addition to its superior spaciousness. Mild hybrid technology, the digital operating concept and the optional HD Matrix LED headlights including laser light are just some of its highlights.
IQ.DRIVE is the new umbrella brand for Volkswagen assistance systems. From now on, the technologies involved in autonomous driving will be bundled under the IQ.DRIVE label. An example is the new Travel Assist. The Volkswagen Passat will be the first Volkswagen that is capable of partially automated driving across practically the whole speed range (0 to 210 km/h). Along with its assistance system, the Passat represents the most advanced version of IQ.DRIVE yet seen.
