ALI & Sons Co. L.L.C. (Motors Division), the official distributor of Volkswagen in Abu Dhabi will welcome the all-new Touareg in Ali & Son's showrooms in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain this month. The Touareg was one of Ali & Sons' standout performers in 2014, and the largest SUV in the Volkswagen line won acclaim from discerning motorists across the emirate. Unveiled at the SUV world premiere in Beijing last year, the new Touareg, has been redesigned to offer customers new front and rear designs, new technical features, a wide range of colors and interiors and competitive pricing at AED174,900. “The new Touareg has arrived with a fresh look combining elegant styling and robust handling with smooth performance over varying terrain, this premium SUV will definitely win acclaim among motorists in the emirate,” said Ahmed bin Ali Al Dhaheri, Chairman Ali & Sons Co. L.L.C. The Touareg is one of the world‘s most successful premium-class SUVs. Within a decade, Volkswagen has sold around 720,000 units of the high-class sport utility vehicle; last year alone over 70,000 drivers chose a new Touareg, which combines the best of passenger car comforts and off-road worlds in one model. The 2015-generation can be identified by the new front and rear designs and by its new colors. In terms of technology, all V6 and V8 models now come equipped with an automatic post-collision braking system (helps prevent a secondary collision in case of an accident), bi-xenon headlights and a coasting function. The new Touareg enjoys a refreshed exterior in addition to exciting new technical additions such as the Start-Stop 1.6 with neutral when rolling. A leader in the premium SUV sector, the latest Touareg offers its audience an economical drive experience, whether on or off-road. Fitted out with a stylish design and smart technology, the Touareg is a luxurious crossover SUV without compromise, as comfortable off-road as it is on the region's highways. As a result the Touareg has enjoyed continued success in the region and its popularity will continue with the arrival of the new model year. The front-end design of the Touareg was completely re-developed. Especially distinctive are the headlights which are now larger; moreover, bi-xenon headlights as standard and the newly designed LED daytime running lights, available from the SEL package onwards. The trapezoid-shaped lights create a line towards the re-designed radiator grille in the middle of the vehicle. In contrast to the previous model, the grille is trimmed with four transverse chrome fins instead of two; the two lower fins are visually extended into the headlights. Together, the radiator grille and headlights form a prominent wide band. Designed as a parallel line beneath it is the new bumper, which is now styled for a more horizontal effect. The new design gives the Touareg an even wider and more impressive appearance. Complementing this visual image is the lower area of the bumper, which boasts a completely new look. As on the new Scirocco R sports car from Volkswagen, the lower air inlet now forms a stylized “A“ instead of a “V“ that transitions into the side air inlets to the right and left; giving the new Touareg a fuller stance on the road. When the “Chrome & Style“ package is ordered with the SEL, there is a chrome strip on the next level, which continues into the side and rear body sections. Beneath this strip are newly designed fog lights that are coordinated with the new bumper design. At the bottom level, there is a new front spoiler, which perfects the aerodynamics of the underbody and the front wheels From the rear, the more precise styling of the Touareg is marked by its new, cleanly designed bumper which, similar to the front end, emphasizes the width of the SUV. When the “Chrome & Style” package is ordered as an option on the V6 package, a wrap-around chrome strip is integrated in the bumper. — SG
