The Touareg Hybrid is the first series-production full-hybrid vehicle in the VW Group. The vehicle qualities so appreciated by customers in today's Touareg include superior off-road handling, outstanding traction and continuous hill-climbing capability even under full load. In order to be able to combine these qualities with an economical hybrid drive, a single-shaft parallel hybrid, which will be used in this manner for the first time in series-production vehicles, was selected as the hybrid concept. The combination of this hybrid concept with a high-torque V6 TSI engine and a wide-ratio 8-speed automatic transmission makes it possible to create the performance of a high-capacity 8-cylinder engine with fuel-consumption rates considerably lower than those of a modern 6-cylinder engine in such a vehicle. At the same time, the spontaneous and direct feeling of a classical drivetrain is retained. Although the Touareg Hybrid offers the performance of a high-capacity 8-cylinder engine in a four-wheel-drive vehicle which can be used as an everyday towing or off-road vehicle, fuel consumption of only 8.2 l/100 km and emissions of 193 g/km CO2 (subject to type testing) are achieved in the New European Driving Cycle. The Touareg Hybrid has a maximum speed of 240 km/h. Thanks to the combination of combustion engine and electric motor/generator, an overall performance of 279 kW and a torque of up to 580 Nm are achieved during boosting mode. Thanks to this overall performance, the Touareg Hybrid can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in only 6.5 s. Due to the extensive development of new control algorithms for process control in the drivetrain, it was possible, through the use of a parallel hybrid concept with disengagement clutch and automatic transmission, to create an extremely comfortable hybrid vehicle without having to dispense with the direct and spontaneous drivetrain feeling so appreciated by the customer.
