Utah's Largest Trailer Dqaler Over 25 Years Experience! .k Hi) to Offi Daniel Souza STAFF WROTER Volkswagen's first-ever SUV has been restyled for the 2008 model year, returning as the Touareg 2. The updated version comes to showrooms with refreshed exterior styling, a notable list of safety features fea-tures and vehicle capabilities, capabili-ties, and three powerful engine options. The Touareg 2 also features fea-tures a variety of driving systems designed to ensure en-sure safety and enhance the vehicle's handling. These features include a new rollover sensor system, sys-tem, which records both turning angle and turning speed to determine whether wheth-er the vehicle will encounter encoun-ter a possible rollover situation. situ-ation. The rollover sensor sen-sor system merges with the airbag control device to activate side and side head curtain airbags if a rollover hazard is present. An enhanced tire pressure pres-sure monitoring system that informs the driver of any tire pressure loss is now standard. The Touareg 2 features various vari-ous Electronic Stabilization Stabiliza-tion Program innovations, including hydraulic braking brak-ing assist, a preventative braking pressure build-up system for sudden lifts off of the gas pedal which prepares the vehicle for a sudden stop. Other ESP innovations include rain brake support, sup-port, which intermittently intermittent-ly wipes the rotors dry when windshield wipers are activated; and an un-dersteering un-dersteering control logic system which improves turning behavior during understeering. The Touareg 2 boasts three engine variations a VR6 FSI, V8 FSI and a diesel-powered V10 boasting boast-ing a staggering 553 lbs. ft. of torque. As for the VR6, the Touareg's 3.2-liter has been replaced with a more powerful 3.6-liter VR6 FSI, which has an additional 40 horsepower, now at 280 hp. A redesigned front end-demonstrates end-demonstrates the extent of the changes on Touareg 2. The sequel to the German descent SUV now is easily recognizable as a member of the Volkswagen family, fam-ily, with its new stylized front grille chrome on V6 FSI and matte chrome onV8FSIandV10TDI. A redesigned front bumper, new side mirrors with improved im-proved airflow, and sleek, new organically shaped headlamp housings with polycarbonate lens covers cov-ers further distinguish the Touareg 2 from its predecessor. prede-cessor. ' VW's latest SUV houses only a few changes inside the vehicle. The Bavarians did it right with their new standard 12-way power driver's seat, making it easier for motorists of any size to find the right setting for optimum driving driv-ing comfort. Unfortunately Unfortu-nately the steering wheel mounted controls remain confusing and complicated complicat-ed to use. On the other hand the optional op-tional keyless access with StartStop button makes it easier than ever to get in and drive, while the standard power liftgate makes loading or unloading unload-ing cargo into the 31 cubic foot rear area simpler than ever. Once inside, drivers also will appreciate the standard Sirius satellite radio (with three months of free service) and true audiophiles can rock out to the optional Dynaudio sound system. Featuring 10 speakers (six three-way speakers 'in each door, four two-way two-way speakers in the rear), a 10-channel amplif ier and 620 watts of total power output, this phenomenal stereo system has been specifically designed for the acoustic qualities of the Touareg 2 interior. It may not be the greatest great-est summer blockbuster, but the Touareg 2 promises prom-ises to be a sequel worth watching.
