The trunk of Touareg 3: volume, size, accessories and a grid from a beech

With the issue of the trunk of Volkswagen Touareg turns out interesting: the model is the flagship of VW, in theory, and the trunk should be a leader in all respects. But the standard and sample for imitation has become Skoda’s trunk a long time ago; against their background of its flatbed Volkswagen looks a bit scanty.

The designers of Touareg had a difficult dilemma: to leave a trunk poorer than the younger brand is somehow not flagship; to try to outplay Skoda, having packed in more various plushkas – it is not polite.

But experience is a big deal and as a result, German engineers have turned out beautifully, having offered a small, but functional set and something, which Skoda does not have in principle, but this thing is certainly useful in some cases.

Linear dimensions are summarized in the table.

Functionality

• trunk door closer;
• remote folding of the 2nd row seats, 40:20:40;
• electric curtain of the luggage compartment or a simple curtain, depending on equipment.

In the recesses under the floor of the luggage compartment there is standard equipment: a jack, a tool kit and a “cunning dokatka”. In some configurations, numerous receptacles under the raised floor, closer to the rear seats, will be occupied by equipment 48-volt auxiliary network Tuareg and will not be able to use them for luggage.
