In contrast to the almost familiar hybrids of Toyota, Lexus and others like them, where the internal combustion engine and electric motor are combined into a power module using a planetary gear, a simpler and more elegant layout is used here. In fact, on the Touareg Hybrid, the electric motor-generator is a kind of “layer” between the gasoline engine and the automatic transmission. This compact “dynamo machine” has many aspects: it can independently set the car in motion without the help of ICE, be used as a starter to start the gasoline engine and as a generator to recharge the battery.

In motion, the hybrid Touareg is almost indistinguishable in sensations from the usual gasoline or diesel. Only the displays remind of the presence of a small power station on board - on the center console and dashboard, and even then if you display on them an indication of the operation of the hybrid installation. Well, maybe, the unauthorized behavior of the tachometer needle, which, you just have to release the gas pedal, deadly "falls" to zero and comes to life again when you spur the car again. However, due to frequent "downtimes", the engine did not have time to fully warm up during short trips around the city. And this is at temperatures around 0 ° C, at which the test took place. And what will happen in cold weather?

- In traffic jams, fuel consumption turned out to be 17–19 l per 100 km instead of the promised 8.7 l / 100 km, which requires driving with acceleration and deceleration (in which the hybrid drive is most effective), and not “crush” in traffic. So buying a hybrid Touareg is justified for other driving conditions. Or its reason may lie in image, rather than practical considerations.
