What Our Members Are Saying about the Powertrain of the 2012 Volkswagen Touareg

2012 Volkswagen Touareg Powertrain: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2013 4dr SUV 280-horsepower 3.6L V6
8-speed shiftable automatic AWD
This is were the Touareg actually offers more than most of its competition, we opted for a gas powered VR6 but a diesel as well as gas-hybrid model are offered. All come with a very smooth shifting 8-speed which does quite well both around town and on long stretches of highway. The Touareg can definitely accelerate when getting on to on ramps, etc. see full Volkswagen Touareg review
2012 4dr SUV turbocharged 225hp 3.0L V6 Diesel
8-speed shiftable automatic AWD
With lots of torque, the Touareg moves its bulk quickly, handling all ordinary driving situations effortlessly. It's fairly quick off the line, cruises at high speed easily, and overtakes on the highway rapidly. see full Volkswagen Touareg review

Feels like a v8 see full Volkswagen Touareg review
2011 4dr SUV turbocharged 225hp 3.0L V6 Diesel
8-speed shiftable automatic AWD
LOVE the diesel torque off the line. Drove a V6 Toyota 4Runner and compared to the V6 in the Diesel! What a let down on the 4Runner, you mash the gas and you wait for the engine/vehicle to pick up speed, there is no pushing back into the seat that you get from the torque of a Diesel. see full Volkswagen Touareg review
