About the Volkswagen Touareg
Volkswagen’s first step into the SUV market was a big one, with no previous experience the world wasn’t quite ready for it. But after seeing the crash safety results, the sales started coming in. The cars are best known for their standard models which are quite inviting and sit higher up compared to its rivals.
The Touareg also has a rich history in motorsports with outright wins in the Dakar Rally and Baja 1000 over the years. One win came at the hands of Qatari Driver Nasser Al-Attiyah.
