Judge for yourself: few people buy a Volkswagen-Tuareg or a Land Rover Discovery 4 to knead the mud somewhere far beyond the city limits. The purpose of acquiring such a “tank” is to emphasize its significance. And if so, the list of equipment should amuse the ego of the potential owner. Let's see who is better at this task.
APPEARANCE
Volkswagen Tuareg
The new generation of Tuareg is like a lesson in good manners. Appearance has become more intelligent and sophisticated, the car is suitable for all occasions. This will undoubtedly attract a sedate audience. Instead of a complex all-wheel drive, the usual “Thorsen”, which does not require extra investment (serious off-road bells and whistles - only for a surcharge). As a result, the car became easier (is it a joke - to lose almost 200 kg!) And easier (read: more reliable). The interior is met in German with a laconic design, nevertheless, it has noticeably more warmth and attention to riders. Materials, button layout, color combination - everything pleases the eye. Add the simplified transmission and laconic design here - it is clear that the expansion of the audience will be given to the German brand effortlessly.

Discovery 4, in contrast to the Tuareg fox, retained not only a brutal image, but also the ability to storm non-childish roads. In addition, the buyer has the right to count on a downshift, and on the interwheel limited slip differential, and on the locking of the center differential. Inspires! Only the bulky dimensions (Discovery is 90 mm longer, 82 mm wider and 177 mm higher than Tuareg at the same price) turn a trip along the streets densely packed with vehicles into the intense quest “Do not scratch another”. The Land Rover tried on a suit of fine English wool, hiding underneath it the original nature of a hardworking hard worker. A good attempt at mimicry in modern conditions.

The appearance of the "German", as they say, both ours and yours. For a universal approach, Tuareg is awarded a gold cup.
BODY AND KIT
Despite the fact that the Discovery is much more well-fed than the Tuareg, these cars are ideal for our comparison, since the prices of the basic versions are almost identical: Volkswagen - from 1 996 000, and “Land Rover” - from 1 999 000 rubles. And the line of motors are similar. True, the Germans provide customers with more opportunities to turn around: the Tuareg has three gasoline engines (249, 280 and 360 hp) and the same diesel (204, 245 and 340 hp), and in addition to them is also a hybrid modification (by the way, it is the most expensive - from 3, 240, 000 rubles). Discovery is ready to oppose this wealth with only two diesel (190 and 245 hp) and one gasoline unit (375 hp). But in the choice of gearboxes, the marketers of both companies showed solidarity: no mechanics even in the database, only an automatic machine.
