VOLKSWAGEN TOUAREG (2003- TO DATE)福士阿雷格(2003年至今)
The Touareg is a car that Volkswagen couldn?t afford not to build.这是图阿雷格车记不起来福士?笔不吃身材. Missing out on a huge slug of the burgeoning American ?Sports Utility?遗漏了一个庞大的新兴塞美洲?体育事业? market didn?t sit happily with the top brass at Volkswagen and sharing a good deal of the chassis development budget with Porsche also helped to defray spiralling costs.雾化市场?笔静坐在愉快的高层交流和一大堆福士底盘与保时捷也有助于发展预算支付价格暴涨. The result is a car that many feel is better looking than its Porsche cousin, the Cayenne, and which also features a wide range of powerplants.结果是,许多汽车不如找感觉比保时捷表姐,卡宴,而也展出各种发电厂. A used Touareg may not be the obvious choice but it?s certainly one of the best big bruisers.用一个图阿雷格但未必是显而易见的选择吗?当然最好收盘大bruisers之一.
HISTORY历史
The Touareg is full of surprises.图阿雷格,变幻无常. First off is the name, a version of the African Toureg tribe (literally ?Free Folk?) that somehow gained an extraneous ?a?.首先是名称、一版toureg非洲部落(字面上?免费民俗?)这或多或少得到额外?一?. Manufactured in Bratislava in Slovakia, the Touareg and the Porsche Cayenne share the same chassis, transmission, AWD system, suspension, windshield, doors, and some sheet metal.在斯洛伐克布拉迪斯拉制造、图阿雷格和保时捷卡宴共享同一底盘、传动、医师制度,中止挡风玻璃、车门、有的板材. Although the two vehicles were largely co-developed, Porsche and Volkswagen parted company two years before the introduction of the pair to work in secret on the remaining aspects of the cars.虽然两车大多共同开发保时捷和大众汽车公司分手前两年引进两名工作秘密尚存的汽车. As a result, the Volkswagen is the more accomplished off road whereas the Porsche, somewhat unsurprisingly, holds an edge on the blacktop.这样一来,更是完成福士越野而保时捷略带难怪占据优势的黑.
First shown at the Paris Motor Show in September 2002, the Touareg arrived in dealer?s showrooms very quickly thereafter, being available in Germany in December 2002 and landing here in the UK in early May 2003.首先表现在巴黎汽车展2002年9月,图阿雷格抵达经销商?收盘展室很快此后2002年12月被德国刊物这里登陆,五月初在英国2003. No fewer than four engines were offered; 3.2 and 4.2-litre petrol versions and 2.5 and 5.0-litre TDI diesels.80707不下四引擎;3.2和4.2升汽油版和2.5和5.0升TDI的柴油. A 3.0-litre V6 TDI engine was added in the autumn of 2004.一个3.0升V6导TDI的发动机亮色秋季2004.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
The philosophy behind the Touareg was to offer three vehicles in one with an eye on the lucrative US market.背后的理念是提供三个图阿雷格人与车眼睛盯着美国市场有利可图. In a category dominated by the Mercedes M-class, the BMW X5 and the Range Rover, the Touareg needed to be something special.一类为主的梅赛德斯的M级,宝马X5和漫游范围,图阿雷格须相当特别.
So what?s the car like?那又如何?收盘轿车样? In a word, big.总之一句话,大. At 170cm high it?s not lacking in road presence.在张曼娟高吗?收盘不乏道的存在. The range-topping V10 TDI sits a couple of centimetres higher still on its air suspension, the other models relying on more conventional steel springs.射程-超过TDI的v10还坐着一厘米高的空气悬架,其他型号钢依靠传统泉水. Unless, that is, you want to hit the options list.否则,就是你要选择命中名单. The interior styling is pleasantly restrained, the materials quality is class leading and the look and feel is much like the opulent Phaeton.内政部造型是愉快克制材料质量是一流的领导和外观很像是phaeton蕴藏丰厚. Standard equipment includes electronic climate control, a multifunction computer, ten-speaker CD system, walnut trim, heated and folding door mirrors and a huge airbag count.标准装备包括电子气候控制多功能电脑,10议长影音系统,修剪核桃、加热、折叠镜门和庞大气囊爆.
The V6 model wears a slightly overwhelmed set of 17-inch alloy wheels.V6导示范戴稍微震撼了一套17英寸合金车轮. Move up to the V8 and there are features such as leather trim, dusk-sensing lights, heated seats, engine compartment lights and chrome finishing on the doors and grille.走高的V8的特征,例如有皮革笔挺,黄昏传感灯,暖席发动机舱灯、铬、整理的铁栅门. The V10 TDI is where things again go off the chart.v10的TDI的东西又是那里出图. This adds Continuous Damping Control Air Suspension, bi-Xenon lights, remote engine start, memory for your seat belt height, steering column, mirrors and seats and a stereo system with no fewer than eleven speakers.这就更连续阻尼控制空气悬架,双氙灯,发动机启动偏僻,您记忆安全带高度督导专栏镜和座椅、立体声系统不下11讲. It can be recognised from the outside by its 18-inch wheels, a chrome air intake and front fog lights.它可以从外部的认可其18英寸车轮,前雾灯、铬摄入空中. And a little badge on the back.小徽章和背部.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
The Touareg has sold in respectable numbers given that it went up against tough rivals in the shape of the Volvo XC90, the revised BMW X5 and the Range Rover.图阿雷格既然已售出尊敬号码升至强硬对付对手的沃尔沃xc90形状、修改后的宝马X5和漫游范围. Prices kick off at £26,700 for an 03 plated 3.2-litre V6 model with the more desirable 2.5-litre TDI diesel starting at £26,300.明晚价格为26700英镑2003年镀三点二公升V6导模式更可取2.5公升柴油TDI的26,300英镑起. You?ll be hard pressed to find a decent 4.2-litre V8 for less than £35,000 and the awesome V10 TDI diesel is still changing hands at prices which open at £44,000.你?当地很难找到象样4.2-3.5公升V8的不足和撼人v10英镑TDI的柴油价格仍然趣闻上午44,000英镑. Insurance for the Touareg ranges between Group 15 for the 2.5TDI up to Group 19 for the V10 diesel.保险阿雷格35-40至15组19组的2.5tdi最多的v10柴油.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
The Touareg uses largely tried and tested mechanicals and there have yet to be any major faults.图阿雷格用途主要有机电久经考验尚未得到任何重大过失. There was a recall to fix a fault with the tyre pressure monitoring system but this had no effect on safety.记得有一排轮胎压力监测系统故障与但这不影响安全. Touareg owners have reported that getting locked out of your vehicle is a distinct possibility.有报道说,图阿雷格业主越来越贵锁车显然可行. Here?s how to do it.这里?收盘怎样做. First, exit the vehicle and lock it.首先,出境车辆及乐. Next, approach the rear of the vehicle and open the glass hatch.接下来的做法,公开车尾玻璃舱口. The glass hatch will only open if your key is within a few feet of the back of the vehicle.玻璃舱口如果你只开了几英尺的关键是后面的车辆. Once the rear glass hatch is open, place your jacket with the Touareg key in its pocket inside the Touareg.一旦玻璃后方舱口公开,把你的外套口袋内的图阿雷格阿雷格关键. Close the rear hatch.近后方舱口. After a few seconds, the Touareg will re-lock the rear hatch, thus locking your key in the car.几秒钟之后,图阿雷格将再度锁定后方舱口,从而锁定你的车钥匙. One to remember if you don?t want to make an embarrassing call to the fourth emergency service.如果你一记鲍思?笔要尴尬第四届紧急服务电话.
Many used Touaregs have cracks near the bottom of the driver?s seat.用touaregs附近有许多裂缝底部司机?收盘座位. This is caused by an attempt to get to the vehicle's battery, which is found beneath the driver's seat and for which access requires removal of the driver's seat and surrounding facia.这是企图造成车辆到达的炮台而下方发现驾驶座和所需要去除接入驾驶座及周围面部.
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
(approx based on a 2003 3.2 V6) Volkswagen parts used to have a reputation for costliness, but by and large that?s now unfounded.(2003年2月3日大约基于V6导)大众汽车零部件上有声誉费用等但总体来说是什么?现在的事实不符. The Touareg, however, is a big, powerful vehicle and as such parts are often heavy duty items with corresponding prices.图阿雷格不过,这是一个强大和汽车零部件等项目往往重型相应价格. A clutch assembly retails at around £335, front brake pads are £75 a pair whilst rears are £45 a set.离合器装配了零售335英镑左右,前刹车皮是75英镑,而抚养是一双45英镑一套. Brake discs retail at £76 for front units with rear units costing £63.刹车碟零售76英镑战线后方单位与单位成本英镑63. An alternator with belt is just over £290 and a headlamp is £192.同一个发电机皮带刚好超过了290英镑192英镑是前照灯. A starter motor is just over £100.刚刚结束了起动电机100英镑.
ON THE ROAD 在路上
On the road, the Touareg can?t quite back up Volkswagen?s optimistic claim to be better than a BMW X5.在路上,图阿雷格可以吗?笔相当后备福士?收盘乐观不如说是宝马荚. It comes close and is a little tauter than a Range Rover and a whole lot keener than a Mercedes M-class.接近,是不是有点tauter孚、射程超过了一大堆激烈的奔驰M族. The Volkswagen has slightly more lateral roll in corners and there?s that bit more side to side ?wobbly head syndrome?<大众已稍为侧滚在角落上呢?一点收盘,方方?梅花头综合症? that BMW has worked so hard to exorcise.宝马已表示辛辛苦苦傩. The V10 TDI is monstrously muscular, despatching the sprint to 60mph in 7.6 seconds yet will return an average of 23mpg ?v10TDI的是素来的肌肉、在七月六日至60mph递斯普林特尚未回到秒平均23mpg? a decent return for a car that tips the scales at around 2,500kg.体面换取轿车天平在2500公斤左右. The V6 and V8 models are both respectably quick although neither can match the diesel?s punch or parsimony.V6和V8的型号的快速回复,虽然都是不能配合柴油?收盘冲床或简约. The 3.0-litre V6 TDI diesel which was added to the range later is a more modern proposition than either the V10 or the 2.5-litre 5-cylinder unit, this is manifested in greater refinement and improved emissions.3.0升V6导TDI的柴油则增加幅度比后来要么是一个更现代的命题v10或2.5公升5缸股这表现在更大细化和完善排放.
It?s off road that the Touareg plays its trump card, especially when equipped with air suspension.?收盘客路阿雷格发挥王牌,尤其是当装有空气悬浮. Permanent four wheel drive and a low ratio gearbox are taken for granted, but factor in selectable front and rear differential locks, hill start and descent assist and very short front and rear overhangs and the Touareg becomes an awesomely capable tool.永久四轮驱动、变速箱比率偏低是理所当然,但前后差别因素选择门锁,希尔开始与协助,并在很短的后裔前后悬挑和图阿雷格awesomely能成为工具. With low range engaged, the Touareg can drag itself up a 45-degree slope with 35 degrees of sideways lean.从事各种低、阿雷格本身能拖了45-35度坡度侧身稀薄. The V10?s torque is always a bonus, but the light weight of the smaller diesels, the V6 and the V8 engines make them particular nimble on downhill stretches.v10的吗?收盘扭矩总是奖金,但重量轻的小型柴油机、在V6和V8的发动机,使其特别灵巧的下坡就绵.
OVERALL 总体
Although at this price point there are a number of competing attractions for your money, the Touareg is perhaps the best compromise of the lot.虽然这个价格点有多个景点竞合你钱也许是最好的折衷阿雷格的地段. It?s not as sporty as a BMW X5 or a Porsche Cayenne, not quite so family friendly as a Volvo XC90 and doesn?t have the badge equity of a Range Rover.?收盘不及潇洒体X5作为宝马或保时捷卡宴,作为一个不甚友好的家庭,并不惜沃尔沃xc90?笔有徽章一系列孚股权. What it does do is cover all of these bases acceptably well while at the same time offering one of the best off-road performances of any of the super-luxury 4x4s.但确实做的是涵盖所有这些基地的同时,也可以接受提供一个最佳越野性能有超豪华四轮驱动车. If you can step back and see the big picture, the Touareg makes a lot of sense.如果你可以退一步看全局,阿雷格有点道理. With used examples now starting to appear in meaningful numbers, we?d recommend either of the diesel models.与现在使用的例子开始出现有意义号码,我们?四推荐两种型号的柴油机.
