My dad have the this Touareg in a boring grey, they are on point. Because my dad bought this because he is very often out visiting customers on construction sites, gravel pits and factories. It goes so well under the radar, (he says).
@@lucasmogensen8887 that's exactly what this owner is like too - he visits customers in rural industrial areas and doesn't want anything too flashy. It sounds like there's a perception to maintain in those kinds of circles
We're very keen to drive one (or an X5 M50D). On paper, it makes less power and torque than this Touareg - it made us wonder if any diesel engine can match this V8 TDI?
@@craigauty6756 true, that does make more power and torque. Need to drive one of those too. The 0-100 (0-62) time is slower, so I'm guessing it's the extra weight and the 6 speed transmission letting it down there
From memory the engine is very similar but not completely same as the SQ7. The 4.0 TDi on the SQ7 has an electric compressor driven by 48v to eliminate low rpm turbo lag. (Practically a 3rd turbo). The VW didn’t employ the electric compressor (due to cost?) instead they played with the cams and valves at low rpm to try and reduce the lag.

Comparing to m550d x drive would be intresting. 3L 6cylinders and 4 turbos at 400hp and 760Nm

@kiwiGTshow yeah I heard it could make alot more than 1000NM but transmission couldn't handle it

7:50 whaaaaat man my 1.2Tce 130hp megane has the same consumption 😪
@@nightbleeding2759 yeah we were pretty shocked at the fuel economy. Big power diesels are our new obsession
