Cars belong to the class of SUVs. Both brands are well known in the world of automotive and enjoy a huge authority from motorists, including in Russia. These models from Germany, Porsche Kayen and Volkswagen Taureg, belong to the class of elite cars.
A bit of history
The basis of the founding of the company Porsche - 1931. A difficult emblem located on the hood of the car, talks about the connection of automakers with the German land of Baden-Württemberg and its main city of Stuttgart, on whose territory is Porsche.
The history of Volkswagen is notable for the fact that the company was created in 1933 on the idea of \u200b\u200bA. Hitler, who dreamed of release for the Aryan nation inexpensive folk car - Volkswagen, which was served as the name of the new company. It is noteworthy that on that historical conversation with the Führer, the founder of Porsche Engineer and Designer Ferdinand Porsche was present. Since then, brands associate strong related bonds and mutually beneficial partnerships.
Porsche specializes in the production of premium SUVs and sports cars. I would like to note that the Porsche brand is the most profitable among other cars for the production of cars for their owners.
Volkswagengroupe products presents an extensive model line of a car of different class, including the famous and beloved by many, the Touareg model. The car name received in honor of a tribe living on the African continent. This SUV received recognition for reliability in operation, good permeability and high level of comfort. The restyled version of the second generation of the model was made public at the Tresho in Beijing in 2015. The car does not match the original purpose of the auto company to be budget, and belongs, just like Porsche Kayen, to the elite class.
Cayenne, he received such a name in honor of the capital of French Guiana. The model is produced since 2002. Now the restyling version of the second generation is published in the arena, the presentation of which was held in New York. The company's management company leads high hopes: its task is to become the fastest SUV of the world and at the same time surpass his audacious competitor Bentley Bentayga. Show the best speed can only cars with a small mass. Therefore, in production, composite materials and aluminum alloys were used, the weight of which is significantly less than body materials from the usual metal.
Description of models
Taways of the present time is not much different from the previous version of the model. Before us is a large SUV, whose dimensions have increased.
In the exterior, he received greater elegance, especially in the front part. His classic straight features have become more smoothed and attractive. A powerful bi-xenon appeared in the head optics. The external appearance of the body undoubtedly decorates the chromium finish, including on the radiator grille, where it looks especially attractive.
Porsche Cayen seemed little changed little. A shift of the old sample has been replaced by a more elegant. But the smile of the front of the car, formed from the combination of the picture of the headlights and the radiator grille, is not a friendliness. Before us is a self-sufficient respectable car, who knows the price. Road clearance is 215 mm, but may increase in the case of a pneumatic suspension to 268 mm. The car has more sporty features in the appearance, due to which it is positioned by the company as a sports SUV.
Interior
Inside the salons of both German cars everything is wonderful. Excellent finishing materials, technical equipment, comfortable chairs, praise there for each element. In Tuareg, a more strict environment, Kayen has a more "cheerful" look, but comfort and facilities for passengers everywhere at the highest level. Porsche paid more attention to the movement in extreme conditions: almost semicircular front armchairs, reliably holding the body of the driver and passenger, additional handles for retention.
Great volume of luggage compartments: 670/1780 l in Cayenne and 974/1814 l in TureG. Such compartments will be allowed to take with them a large number of booting to tourists, fishermen, entrepreneurs, all people who enjoy using these machines.
Summary
Convenient comfortable cars with excellent technical characteristics are not suiced. Tuareg can be purchased from three million, Kayen will rise a million more. Repeat the beaten phrase - you have to pay for beauty - I do not want. And so everything is clear. Both SUVs belong to the elite of modern cars. Dear materials, high-tech equipment that are equipped with SUVs make them available not for every motorist. For many, they remain the dream to which you need to strive.
FROM there are some other ways! Yes, and in the decoration of salons little in common. But it is worth calling the lift and look at the bottom ... All the trinity is from one sandbox whose name is Volkswagen AG, or simply Vag. And so I want to figure out what the new Volkswagen Touareg is different (or not different) from the Audi Q7, which he actually caught up at a price. Is the surcharge of Porsche Cayenne justified?
It is in their ocean Dieselgate, which turned to the Volkswagen AG concern a multi-billion nightmare. And we flew folkswagens on heavy fuel - maybe, also because the company, compensating for a decrease in demand for diesel cars in the United States and Western Europe, tries to offer them in Russia at sweet prices. Recently, seven out of ten buyers chose Volkswagen Touareg with Diesel V6! And let such a version are somewhat more expensive than gasoline, but it is considered (and not without reason) more reliable and, of course, economical. For a taguega of a new generation, nothing will change: a bet on diesel! Moreover, the alternative to diesel V6 will now be a two-liter motor of the same "tax" capacity of 249 hp It is enough for the strength, but two liters under the hood "heavy" taguega ... somehow unusual. Yes, there are also gasoline V6 TSI, but this is a completely different price (minimum - 4.44 million rubles) and other taxes - already on the basis of 340 hp
Due to the headlights integrated into the radiator grille, the new Touareg looks much larger and solid than the previous one.
However, our diesel Touareg performed by R-Line, to put it mildly, is not cheaper - without a small 5.3 million rubles. And this is not a complete mince! I hear how the owners of the current Tuaregov pushed loudly. For such money you can buy a BMW X5 (now quite good discounts on the outgoing model), the same Audi Q7 in a good configuration - and even Porsche Cayenne, prices for which starts from five million rubles. But raise your hands those who bought a basic basic Cayenne! There are no such? And because in the marketing departments are not a fool - and for the most attractive options, dealers are asking for a considerable surcharge: for example, Porsche Cayenne costs 7.64 million in our test and this is the "entrance" of the gasoline version of 340 hp. Diesel and potentially more accessible canines are still delayed - well, if the Certification on the new WLTC rolling cycle is completed until the end of 2018.
But for Audi Q7, there is exactly the same gamut of engines as for the new Tuareg. That is, the same Diesel V6 in favorites (95% of buyers choose it). We took version 3.0 TFSI (333 hp), so that this example tells the features of the gasoline engine - and simultaneously compare the settings of similar power units on the Audi and on Porsche.
Not only "music" and navigation, but also a microclimate and chassis are tied to the central display. The main thing is to remember where it lies: you can overflow the "desktops" by a waving hands along the bottom edge of the screen
In imposing in the battle for the premium buyer, Volkswagen takes into service the same techniques that Audi, Mercedes or BMW. The main thing is to impose a thought that the basic versions are designed for Locholas-spaces, and the self-respecting client chooses cars in a s-line, AMG Package or M Sport. In the case of Tuareg, this is the execution of R-Line - with other bumpers and painted in the body of the body with plastic lining on the thresholds and wheeled arches. All that makes the SUV more vulnerable to the ground, but more spectacular on the asphalt. However, come closer. Why the side sections of the radiator lattice are docked with such careless gaps? Why are the top black holes under the top plank, in which the fastening screws are viewed? This is still during the first meeting - and now I understand it.

The massive handle of the electronic selector fits well in hand. Sharing her on the DRIVE position, turn on the box
Already "in the database" front armchairs - with electric drives and trimming of Vienna leather, and for extra charge - adjustment of side support, ventilation and massage
Audi in the body S LINE does not allow such negligence. But Porsche Cayenne, for nothing without collaps, looks in all senses the most assembled, and at the same time - rapid and sports.
Touareg 2018. The model fans immediately divided into two camps, some of which are disappointed in the model, due to the complete transformation of the once serious SUV in the city Parquest, others are rejoicing with modern technologies and engineering solutions in the new model.
Of course, these points of view have a place, because initially Touareg was a real SUV with honest full drive, reduced transmission and blocking of the inter-axis differential. On the other hand, the second generation was very long on the market and was no longer relevant, because the Touareg 2 generations were born in 2010 exactly 8 years ago.
Since we are interested in people and consider the model not from the point of view of a simple consumer, but from the point of view of the fans of the model, let's start from afar and move in 2002, when the car was first presented at the Motor Show in Paris. Then Touareg made a big impression, as combined the comfort of business class sedans and off-road qualities of large frame off-roads.
In 2007, the car has undergone restyling, which undoubtedly benefited, since the first generation was not very reliable due to electronics. The line of engines was also updated, they were improved and delivered from old problems. A new three-liter diesel appeared that was greatly popular in the global market, mainly due to its combination of power and consumption. A little later, we were presented with a charged version of Touareg R50 with a 5 liter diesel engine, familiar to us on the first Tuarega. The car received pleasant buns, an adaptive cruise control and tracking system for dead zones. In 2007, it was cool and few competitors could boast of the same options.
It is worth noting that the Volkswagen Touareg in the Russian Federation bought people secured and most of their money honestly earned, because Volkswagen never shouted about himself and was never a premium brand, such as Mercedes or BMW, but in the meantime he did not give them comfort and comfort and by any chart characteristics.
In 2010, there is an absolutely new Touareg that increases the bar to competitors. Then has become even better managed, and the new one simply hit its dynamics and torque. The car received all the modern systems that were popular at that time. On the off-road Touareg, everything was not bad, although a little worse than the previous generation and is connected, it is not even so much with the device of a full drive, as with a new body and its painted lower bumpers parts.
In 2014 was restyling. More modern appearance and refinement of children's sores of NF, made a car truly flawless. Finally, there were already bixenon headlights and a terrible halogen, as it was on the second body, there was no longer. Also, the most popular diesel 3 liter engine was upgraded and an adaptive cruise control system was improved. But no matter how good the car is not, time takes its own and in 2018, this body is already morally outdated, as well as the entire electronic filling.
And finally, we presented a new generation. Most cars of bloggers and autoshurgies converged that the new Tuareg will be all the same Q7 with a smaller number of options and other design. As we understood this is not quite so, Volkswagen Touareg is built on the MLB platform, the car also received a very aggressive striving design and advanced optics.
Also, the interior decoration of the taguega, two huge monitors adorning the dashboard and the multimedia control unit are also quite harmonized with atmospheric illumination going around the perimeter of the entire cabin. A long deflector on the side of the passenger, we are already familiar to Audi Q7 and how I look here a little alien.
The central console made in the style of high-tech is not overloaded with buttons, two transmission controls, selection of the operation mode and the height of the road lumen. Also, the handle of the PPC on Tuareg disappeared, now there is a modern joystick, it looks good, but still the coolest and comfortable handle was on the first generation, she reminded the management of an airplane on the aircraft. Massage is available on the front row.
Of the pleasant on the car, it was possible to order door closers. The back of the car looks like a very massively new LED lights. Specify a new fashion model of Volkswagen, and the elongated chrome inscription Touareg reminds us of related links with Porsche Cayenne.A. For the first time, the night vision system appeared on the car.
But if the appearance is the case of each taste, then the new line of the engines is out of all the discussion.
We will not sharpen your attention on the technical details of the power units, let's just say that the three-liter diesel is left, and from interestingly this is a new diesel V8 4.0 accelerating Volkswagen Touareg to hundreds in 5 seconds, its torque is 900 Newtons and the power of 415 horsepower. Also on Touareg will now be poured two-liter gasoline and a two-liter diesel about the power of which we do not yet know. The struggle for the ecology did not leave both the new model from the Volkswagen, the hybrid setting to a gasoline engine will also be installed on a new taireg, the details are still unknown.
What would I like to draw conclusions about the new model. Of course, the tour lost his versatility and on serious off-road you are unlikely to go on it. But on the other hand, if you look at the entire history of the model, and on the global trend as a whole, Volkswagen consciously walked to it all these years, first removing unnecessary offroad packages, and then abandoning them at all. All this is due to the fact that the consumer does not need all these opportunities, Volkswagen sold Touareg 2 generations with the Offroad package, with reduced transmission and inter-axis differential package, and equipped with a new model simply did not make sense, all auto producers quietly gone from this full drive design And if you think about, Touareg was probably the last European with such a powerful off-road arsenal. Of course, frame SUVs from Japan remained, but we do not even consider them, since they do not meet the needs of a modern person and produce irrelevant models.
Volkswagen Touareg tightly climbed into the premium segment moving his more eminent rivals. Now people will seriously think about buying Volkswagen Touareg, while comparing it with Porsche Cayenne, Audi Q7, Mercedes GLS and BMW X5, X6. There is no nation in the model, prices promise to be high. Especially since the more budget niche will take a new one.
I would also like to note that, in general, the design and the ideology of Taguega turned towards Chinese and American markets, this is confirmed by the presence of a big abundance of chromium on the front and narrow elements, as well as the power of the body and breeding the arches. If you think about the BPReaway We advise you to read:
Conclusions on the model to do early and all of the above, only estimated judgments assumptions, which place will actually occupy Touareg can only be said after he arrives in Russia
Thank you for reading to the end to subscribe to us on social networks there is a lot of interesting things.
What is common to Audi Q7, VW Touareg and Porsche Cayenne?Unification in the automotive world originated at one time with the advent of the first self-devaluing wheelchairs and quickly acquired a planetary scale. Machines of different concerns can be completed with the same candles, for two or three models of one brand, identical motors are installed, and cars produced by one "lecture" are published under different names. Unification is hidden from the consumer, and the more interesting to know what is common to Porsche Cayenne, VW Touareg and Audi Q7, because all three cars are produced under the wing of one giant corporation
In 1965, the company "Folk vehicles" Volkswagen completed a redemption deal at Daimler-Benz a full package of shares of the Hireful Day from Auto Union's day. Recall that in the post-war time, except for a small number of HORCH, which was collected manually (the last car was made in 1953th), Auto Union released several models under the DKW brand and one - 1000 SP Roadster - actually under the Auto Union brand. From the mid-50s demand for cars AUTO Union began to slowly fall, and by the time of the transition under the wing of Daimler-Benz (1958) The Auto Union position was unenviable. The reason was covered in two-stroke engines, which delivered the masses of hassle. Managers Daimlerbenz, trying to correct the situation, sent to Ingolstadt of their engineer Ludwig Kraus. However, he managed to cross the Mercedesian quotate with the DKW F 102 model only by the 1965th. The car opened in the auto union era of four-stroke engines, decided to call Audi F 103. However, the first Audi, who has nothing to do with DKW, the world saw only in 1968 - it was Audi 100.
By that time, the origin of the unification of models Audi and VW belongs. At first, it was about the little thing, but in the mid-70s, the fact of the hip-engineering was recorded. When the VW Polo of the first generation was presented in the 1975th public, Audi dealers had been offered its technical twin-old dealers - Audi 50. Despite the fact that the cars were placed in different price niches, the cheaper Polo has already displaced the "fiftiene" from the market.
Actually, the history of the world car industry clearly shows that any unification leads to the loss of technical personality of brands and, as a result, to their disappearance. The most vivid example is the British Auto Industry: at different times there were more than 60 car brands on a fog albion, and almost all of them were extincted after their products were unified. This process in the world continues to this day: last year the Pontiac went into the summer, in the currently closed Mercury. Saab, who has recently considered the dead, was miraculously resurrected (for a long time?), But the legendary Alfa Romeo rolls into the abyss of hip-engineering ...
Dense collaboration VW and Porsche began with the development of the platform for Touareg and Cayenne models (2002). But in the depths of Porsche Panamera (the model was ready for mass production back in 2007, engineers from Stuttgart have already stubborn motors from Audi. His peak aggregate unification of three brands reached this year, when the public was presented to Touareg and Cayenne second generation and a little later - a modified Audi Q7.
Closer to the subject
_Similar_AudiVWPorshe_Page_1_Image_0001.jpg)
So, if we run on the technical characteristics of Porsche Cayenne, VW Touareg and Audi Q7, it will show up that these models have one common engine, and the diesel V6, far from the most powerful of the available corporate diesel engines. At Cayenne, this unit was implanted only last year, while on two other machines he stood before, and on Q7 "goals in herd" was less (233 against the current 240). The choice of the motor is most likely due to a complaint about high-tech: Say, if you really buy a diesel Porsche, then to drive a thousand kilometers on it without refueling, no less. After all, on modifications with Ingolstadt 6.0-liter V12, developing 1000 nm, the driver of Cayenne would be problematic to overcome such a segment, especially with the breeze. Diesel V6 is quite a modern, but not the last squeak of fashion. Even the maximum injection pressure from Bosch is 1800 bar. Today, this tiphir will surprise anyone.
There is much more interesting than the eight-speed ACP of the classical hydromechanical design. Before the appearance on Cayenne, Touareg and Q7, only two LEXUS LEXUS, BMW of the 7th series with a gasoline engine V12 and AUDI A8 (December 2009) could boast a similar unit. The box, according to AUDI specialists, is designed by the Japanese company AISIN. Decent, the mechanisms are wonderful, but the fact that for this German triple one of the key aggregates "composed" in Japan may not be on the teeth of the target audience of these machines. They will not understand this unification ... By the way, on the machine mentioned by the BMW, as always, German - from ZF.
As for the dispensing box, it is cleaner here. This mechanism (now it is produced by Magna PowerTrain) got Cayenne and Touareg from Audi Q7. And nothing, if with his appearance and Touareg and Cayenne, did not turn from SUVs to crossovers! Moreover, the buyer of Touareg can still choose between the 4motion crossover drive and off-road 4xmotion, then for the owners of the second generation of the second generation "Penneika" will remain an unrealized dream. True, it was not very necessary for them.
By the way, here's another side result of all these "modernizations": the second generation Cayenne is equipped with an inter-axis differential only on diesel modification and hybrid! On other gasoline - modifications of the distribution of thrust between the bridges are not. One of the bridges "pulls" constantly, on the other, if necessary, takes the thrust a multi-disc friction clutch.
Differential, installed in the Cayenne, Touareg and Q7 transfer box, is the Torque Sensing type, that is, self-locking. Moreover, in this case, it can be labeled as Torsen with full right, since the JTEKT producing it and owns the Torsen brand. This mechanism is made by a rare, almost unconscious scheme: the location and functional purpose of the elements - as in the planetary transmission, but the gear teeth (solar, epicycles and satellites) are cut across the screw line. Their configuration and ensures self-motion. In the free state, the differential distributes the torque in the ratio of 48:52 (or 40:60 - depending on the model), when blocking through the wheels of the front axle, up to 65% of the thrust can be implemented, through the wheels of the rear axle - up to 85%.
Where the world is rolling ...
_Similar_AudiVWPorshe_Page_2_Image_0001.jpg)
The logical development of unification between Audi Q7, VW Touareg and Porsche Cayenne will be the appearance of a hybrid modification in the Ingolstadt crossover. Works in this direction were started five years ago. In 2005, the conceptual Q7 Hybrid even demonstrated at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The first experiments on the electrification of serial models in the modern history of the Audi refer to 1989 - then on the basis of all-wheel drive Audi 100 Avant, a hybrid was constructed with a weak, 12.6 horses, an electric motor and exotic from the positions of the nickelcadmium high-voltage battery! Nevertheless, eco-friendly cars VW and Porsche went into the series. What is there to say, marketing ... to expect this year the serial Q7 Hybrid (already with a corporate drive) is hardly necessary. After all, the main eco-friendly premiere of Audi in the second half of the current year should be an announced medium-sized Audi Q5.
As for the unification of Q7, Touareg and Cayenne, and indeed Audi, VW and Porsche, it is obvious that this process will only increase. The main thing is that everything is in moderation. And how we would not have had to see in a few years a C-class passenger from Porsche. It is unlikely that it seems unreal, because the Volkswagen W12 Concept supercar has already been, though, in 1997 ...

Problems with a pedal node on the specified cars were identified during the internal checks. At the same time, cars issued for the period from 2011 to 2016 were checked.
According to preliminary information, manufacturers will respond about 390 thousand Volkswagen Touareg and 410 thousand Porsche Cayenne cars. Employees of companies report that most of the cars subject to the review were sold in the German market.
Recall that the specified cars are built on one platform - that is, in fact, are the same machines, covered with different bodies. But still, to call the "traveler" Volkswagen Taureg and "Pijon" Porsche Kayen Brothers-twin can hardly succeed.
For example, Volkswagen is much more spacious than a sports pillars, which, in turn, is distinguished by presentability and indescribable luxury.
With all this, manufacturers are in a hurry to assure that the elimination of identified problems will take no more than half an hour for each car.
The main differences between Volkswagen Touareg and Porsche Cayenne
As you know, the most productive is considered to be Volkswagen Touareg, the engine capacity of which is 360 hp, while the engine power of the most "weak" Porsche Cayenne is 300 horsepower. As for the suspension, it is much softer from the family, albeit rather expensive "German" taguega, although its hardness adjustment systems are installed on both compared cars.
Volkswagen recalls Passat cars
It is worth noting that the "mid-size" Volkswagen Touareg is not the only car that was withdrawn by a German manufacturer. Over the last period, the review procedure has been subjected to Volkswagen Passat - it has identified problems in the electrical circuit system.
By the way, representatives of the German automotive company did not pay attention to the fact that the recruitment process of cars is not associated with a recent scandal that worked out around the diesel power units installed, the test results of which, according to some reports, were falsified by the company's employees.
