Atamian Volkswagen highlights several features of the 2010 Volkswagen Touareg, including its available diesel and petrol engine options, advanced safety features as part of its Prevent and Preserve Safety System, luxurious interior packages and seating options, and off-road capabilities supported by technologies like 4MOTION all-wheel drive and a maximum 19.7 inch fording depth. The document also promotes optional accessories, factory packages, and exterior and interior color choices for customizing the Touareg.
2. All around the world, it’s
Did you know that a Volkswagen was named the 2009 World Car of the Year?* Or that Volkswagen has ESP® standard on all
2010 vehicles? Or that we provide a Carefree Maintenance™ Program** on all our 2010 cars? Or that we were the first to make
clean diesel available in all 50 states? Or that we have more autos with 25 highway mpg or better than any other brand?†
And that we have more cars and SUVs named 2009 IIHS Top Safety Picks than Volvo?†† How about that right now, the VW
forest is growing in Louisiana thanks to the Volkswagen Carbon Neutral Project—the first US carbon offsetting program
initiated by a car manufacturer? There may be a lot you don’t know about Volkswagen. Turn the page, and meet the
remarkable Volkswagen Touareg.
What will we do first, next?
*The 2009 Volkswagen Golf was awarded “2009 World Car of the Year” by World Car of the Year Awards. See www.wcoty.com for details. **The Volkswagen Carefree Maintenance Program covers the vehicle’s scheduled maintenance intervals for 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever
occurs first. Coverage is during the term of the new vehicle limited warranty, at no additional charge. Some limitations apply. See dealer or vehicle maintenance program booklet for details. †Based on MY09 highway EPA estimates for all car brands. Your mileage will vary. ††“Top
Safety Pick” based on 31mph side-impact crash test, 40mph frontal-offset crash test, 20mph rear-impact test, and the availability of ESC. Test performed by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. For details, visit www.iihs.org. See vw.com for more information on safety features.
3. what the people want.
VR6 FSI, Campanella White, 19" Terra Wheels
4. The people want rally-bred,
race-proven, and really comfortable.
The people want a gutsy auto that can take them to the far corners of the
earth while leaving a smaller footprint. They want TDI. And that means a
smart, powerful TurboDiesel that can go a whopping 660 miles on one tank. *
Or maybe they want a lean, mean petrol V6 with power to spare. And why
not outfit this capable SUV with an available DVD player, GPS navigation,
and supple European leather seating surfaces? After all, the people want the
perfect combination of plush European comfort, intuitive safety systems,
and go-anywhere goodness.
We’ve won a lot of races with
TDI engines. Not me personally
of course, but I have friends.
*17 city/25 highway mpg (TDI, automatic) EPA estimates. Your mileage will vary. Estimated range based on 25mpg highway EPA estimate and a 26.4 gallon fuel tank.
7. 8.3"
German-engineered for
the road less traveled.
Off-road German Technology (O.G.T.) is the sum of a host
8.3" Ground Clearance of different technologies to help you feel in control and stay
in control, from a snowy supermarket parking lot, to the
28° edge of the equator.
4XMOTION.® An advanced, all-wheel drive system with sensors
that constantly detect slip at all 4 wheels, sending more power
to the wheels that have traction, getting you out of any number
of sticky situations. Now you can comfortably make tracks on
28° Approach Angle
any surface, home or abroad.

9. Traveling music.
The joy of driving mingles with the joy of getting there with Touareg’s optional state-of-the-
art touchscreen navigation and entertainment system. The user-friendly unit combines a
sophisticated radio with precise touchscreen navigation and an easy-to-read 6.5-inch
monitor. A 30GB hard drive stores map data and audio files that can be brought into the
device via the optical drive or SD card slot. The optical drive is capable of playing back audio
CD, video DVD, and CDs/DVDs with MP3 audio formats.
In concert with the available Media Device Interface (MDI) and AUX-in, the system can
interface with practically any MP3 or USB device.* And to make sure you always know where
you’re going, front or back, the Touareg has an integrated rearview camera that appears on
the optional navigation unit.
In-flight entertainment.
Select the optional 600-watt, 10-speaker Dynaudio® stereo sound system. Boost the steering
wheel volume control, and let the dual tweeters, quad midrange speakers, and 4 beefy woofers
make the little hairs on the nape of your neck dance. Factor in the available 6-disc CD changer,
and you’ll run out of road before you run out of music. Also included are 6 introductory months
of SIRIUS® Satellite Radio with 100% commercial-free music, plus the best in sports, news, talk,
and entertainment, and 3 introductory months of SIRIUS Traffic, delivering real-time traffic
™
data into the optional navigation system.
Finally, you’ll connect yourself completely via standard Bluetooth® Hands-Free calling with
voice control, with cutting-edge features like phonebook import and touchscreen operation
via the optional navigation system.
Music and navigation
from the stars. What do
you expect? We do have more
engineers than NASA.
*Requires optional cables.
10. The people want to
enjoy the great indoors.
No matter how ugly it gets outside, the interior of your
Touareg will always be a haven of comfort, technology,
and safety—an oasis of optional burled wood and
supple leather, with beverage holders. Choose either
leather seating surfaces, or glove-like, durable V-Tex
leatherette upholstery and trim. Grip the “I have control
of my universe” steering wheel, and set the controls for
the heart of the sunset. Tweak the Climatronic® 2-zone
climate control so everybody’s cool. Or warm. Feeling
comfortable together is what Volkswagen is all about.
There’s even standard 3-button HomeLink,® and theft-
resistant Immobilizer III technology to help keep your
Touareg just that—yours.
The people want
German innovation
at their fingertips.
To say our engineers have thought of everything would
be an understatement. For starters, there’s an available
Keyless Access with push-start ignition that feels more
sports car than sport ute. Simply carry the remote key
somewhere on you, and your Touareg will unlock
with the touch of the door handle. Not to mention,
the innovative optional REST button, designed to
recirculate engine heat when the engine is off for as
long as 45 minutes. It helps keep your car warm and
toasty inside when it’s cold and blowy outside, and
the car doesn’t even have to be restarted.

12. From national parks
to national parkways.
Volkswagen’s impressive Off-road German Technology
(O.G.T.) gives Touareg some impressive skills. It can
traverse a 35˚ lateral incline, ascend a 45˚ incline, and its
4-wheel independent suspension makes this Touareg
all-terrainer handle more like a nimble German sports
coupe. And when you’re trekking through the peaks and
valleys of life, it’s always nice to have Hill Descent Assist,
and Hill Rollback Assist on your side. Because you may
never go into the wilderness, but it’s nice to know you
can still go wild.
19.7" Fording Depth.* Other SUVs can dip their little
pinkies in the water. But, with an impressive 19.7"
fording depth, that flooded road you find on your way
home won’t keep you from getting home.
Towing Capacity. With the Touareg, you can tow up to
7,716lbs. Which means you can play with some big toys
on the weekend.
Of course, the Touareg can go, go, go off-road. But
equally important is its stopping power. Its advanced
braking system is eerily intuitive when it comes to
stopping, especially sensing a sudden halt on loose
gravel, dirt, or packed snow. When you step on the
brakes, they’re designed to stop by creating a pile of
debris in front of the tires. This serves as a natural
chock, and helps you stop. Simple, right?

13. The joy of diesel,
the power of petrol.
Imagine a vehicle that can handle the rigors
of the 130+mph speedways of Germany.
Needless to say, it would have to be European
in every detail—with a refined interior. Now
imagine making it as sure-footed as a goat
on just about any surface. That’s Touareg.
And finally, imagine your choice of 2 stunning
powerplants. First, the new Touareg TDI
Clean Diesel. It offers fuel efficiency,** power,
performance, and a $1,150 tax credit† from
Uncle Sam because it qualifies as an alternative
motor vehicle. The TDI engine is cleaner than
conventional diesels, emitting as much as 95%
less soot as well as a reduction in oxides of
nitrogen and sulfur. Your second (or your
first—who’s to say?) choice is the efficient 3.6L
VR6 FSI, offering fuel straight injection, and
VR6 FSI, Cranberry Metallic
6 stout torque-producing cylinders. Here,
you’re faced with a choice where you simply
can’t go wrong.
*Maximum fording depth 19.7 inches. Please see page 22 for important information on the Touareg’s fording capabilities.
**17 city/25 highway (TDI, auto) EPA estimates. Your mileage will vary. †Tax credit submitted under Notice 2006-9 and
Internal Revenue Code, Section 30B relative to the Volkswagen Touareg TDI, Model Year 2010. Available to taxpayers who
purchase a qualified vehicle on or before December 31, 2010. Leased vehicles will not be eligible for the credit. Only a
limited number of full tax credits are available. Please consult a tax professional for more information or go to www.irs.gov
15. Accessories and
factory options.
Where the rubber meets the asphalt is where
you can have some fun with your choice of 17"
Makalu Alloy Wheels, 18" Karthoum, 19" Terra,
19" Namib, or 20" Mountain Alloy Wheels.
Load up for the weekend with a Basic Roof Rack
and a wide assortment of attachments to conquer
land, water, sky, and any other elements that
may come along: Ski and Snowboard Rack, Kayak
Holder, Surfboard Holder, Barracuda™ Bike
Holder, or Fork Mount Bike Holder.
Hitch your wagon to a star or boat, as the case
may be, with a factory Trailer Hitch and the
slope-friendly Trailer Hitch Ski-Rack Attachment.
Up on the roof, you can add the Aluminum
Luggage Platform or Soft Luggage Carrier.

16. Safe happens.
The people want safety standards to be standard. It’s just that simple. So we packed an advanced, inter-working team of 40 safety features that make up the
Prevent and Preserve Safety System. From its unibody safety cage construction, fully galvanized sheet metal and stabilizer bars, to a complete array of
airbags*—at Volkswagen, safety is a way of life. Which makes sense, since it helps save lives.

Electronic Stabilization Program (ESP)
The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration mandates that
electronic stability control be included
on all vehicles by 2012. So we figured
we’d get a head start by making ESP
(Electronic Stabilization Program)
standard on every 2010 Volkswagen.
It helps the driver stay the intended
course by detecting slick and slippery
road conditions, and kicking in
corrective forces. ESP is most effective
when the driver is taking evasive action
during sudden maneuvers, like when
avoiding a crash. Incidentally, ESP also
stands for Extra-Sensory Perception.
Coincidence?
*Airbags are supplemental restraints only and will not deploy under all crash circumstances. Always use
VR6 FSI, Campanella White, 19" Terra Wheels safety belts and seat children only in the rear, using restraint systems appropriate for their size and age.
17. Safety just got safetyer.

steering wheel to provide better visibility.

Integrated Mirror Turn Signals let pedestrians,

you plan to go.
This is an illustration and does not depict what will happen in a crash. All bags will not inflate in real world accidents and if
multiple bags do deploy, they will be in various stages of inflating/deflating, and will never all be inflated at the same time.
I have a sense of humor
about lots of things.
Safety isn’t one of them.
18. V-Tex
Department of the interior.
Choose the optional Cricket seating package with supple
double-stitched European leather seating surfaces. Or go with
V-Tex leatherette seats for a leather-glove feel and rhino hide Pure Beige
durability. Color choices on leather and V-Tex include Anthracite
and Pure Beige. The Lux Limited edition comes standard with
two-tone seats with St. Tropez inserts, and either Anthracite
or Latte Macchiato interior appointments.

22. The Volkswagen Carefree
Maintenance Program.*
Volkswagen is proud to offer 3 years or 36,000 miles of no-charge scheduled maintenance
on the 2010 Touareg. The program includes oil and filter changes, brake checks, fluid checks,
tire rotation, and airbag checks, just to name a few.
Maximum fording depth is 19.7 inches. Professional driver, please do not attempt. NEVER enter water that has a current or where you do not know the depth. *The Volkswagen Carefree Maintenance Program covers the Touareg’s 10K, 20K, and 30K scheduled maintenance intervals for 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever occurs first. The Touareg TDI Carefree
Maintenance Program also covers the vehicle’s 5K, 15K, 25K, and 35K AdBlue® refills. Coverage is during the term of the new vehicle limited warranty, at no additional charge. Some limitations apply. Does not include routine wear and tear on parts such as brakes, tires, wiper blades, light bulbs, etc. See dealer or vehicle maintenance program booklet for details.
