Touareg
The Volkswagen Touareg has the name of a
traditional African desert tribe that has
made a name for itself in Africa trading in
precious goods.
The proud Tuareg, with their camel
caravans and their mysterious veils,
embody the ideal of limitless freedom
under the mercilessly tough conditions of
the desert.
The name Tuareg (or Touareg) means
“free people.”
Its name was selected to characterize the
Volkswagen Touareg as an exclusive off-
road vehicle that proves itself as easily in a
rocky riverbed as on the highway.
With its excellent on- and off-road
characteristics and its elegant progressive
design, the Touareg is equally as suitable
for off-road use as it is for business,
recreation, and travel.
